Apparently the mod likes using euphemisms for their extracting wealth from other productive members of society and really dislikes being reminded.

I made a number of comments in the post. @Serinus@lemmy.world is now policing how many you are allowed to have.

Here is the Announcement thread in general, in case you are unaware.

Serinus also claims 'Misinformation' for these comments

Ding ding ding. Hexbear and other instances get consideration and talked about behind the scenes. Anarchist.nexus was defederated by MrKaplan privately without any consideration at all from other admins. Kaplan even went out of their way to contact admins of other instances to attempt to get them to defederate from anarchist.nexus as well. When pressed about the popularity of anarchist.nexus, Kaplan then said "I don't know how you define relatively large, on fedidb they're listed as having 71 monthly active users" which led to someone else saying "That's top 10 for Piefed servers, according to fedidb. It would be top 40 for lemmy. We aren't swimming in the pacific here on the Fediverse. This is a small pond to begin with." A small pond that MrKaplan desperately wants to be the only big fish in. # Lemmy.world is using their position to bully smaller communities.

This is not, in fact, misinformation. I listed the screenshots in another comment directly proving this as correct. Here is that screenshot.

Correct. Also, this is quite important, but MrKaplan didn't talk to anyone else about this either. There was an instant and knee jerk response by the admins for this but they took literal weeks to do absolutely nothing about Jordan while saying they were looking into it for weeks. They, quite clearly, have made priorities.

Also not misinformation. Here is the screenshot from Kaplan admitting they never messaged anyone.

Anything to say, Serinus?

Edit: Of course he doesn't. He just banned me for 'sealioning and harassment' for this YPTB post.

Over the past few days, @MrKaplan@lemmy.world/@MrKaplan@piefed.world has banned multiple users, blocked entire comms, and now defederated from Anarchist.Nexus over their anti-Zionist stance.

This extreme overreaction and general power trippin' bastard behavior stems from Lemmy.world's history of pro-Zionist views. And now MrKaplan is seeking out the flimsiest pretext to to enact his own personal vendetta.

Free Palestine, Death to Israel, Death to Zionism.

Lemmy.world is a ZioNazi instance. Avoid it like the plague.

I got 2 comments removed and a 1-day ban from lemmy@lemmy.ml (of course it's .ml 🙄) for violating 'rule 2', which doesn't exist, at least not in the sidebar.

I'm willing to consider that 'rule 2' is about discussing .ml, but the second comment was a definition. nutomic@lemmy.ml got his fefes hurt by a dictionary.

Thread in question: https://lemmy.zip/post/62996430

Edit: fucking lol I didn't expect everyone here to be a fucking hypocrite. As I've been told, Rule 2 on .ml is be respectful. Was OP being respectful when they insulted LW? Bunch of backpedalling ignants.

Edit 2: I've now been banned for 'trolling and genocide apologia,' from several dbzer0 communities. First off, wow, what part of me is trolling? Just cause you don't agree with me doesn't make me a troll. Second, at what point did I ever claim genocide is okay? Ironic that YPTB is run by PTBs.

after the recent disgraceful behavior in YPTB where @deceptichum@quokk.au was banned by @MrKaplan@lemmy.world for being a "troll", I banned MrKaplan preemptively from !anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus, as I do anyone who displays zionist tendencies. the ban reason was for "zionism, genocide apologia". calling someone pointing out the FHF's long history of zionism and protecting zionist users a "troll" and saying they are acting in "bad faith" is absolutely zionism, and zionism is genocide apologia. at the same time, I also banned @recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca for also banning @deceptichum@quokk.au, with a suspiciously similar ban message.

this aggravated @MrKaplan@lemmy.world, who then started asking around about me to find out more information. they quickly found my profile, which as anyone who has been around AN or dbzer0 might know, has always been rather spicy when it comes to the US and Israel.

“scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds”

queer armed militant anarchist. death to the United States, and death to Israel! the only good zionist is a dead zionist.

my display name at the time was also Luminous5481 "Murder all zionists" [they/them]. this wasn't aimed at MrKaplan, but rather zionism as an ideology in general. it has long been my very vocal opinion that there is no appreciable difference between the state of Israel and Nazi Germany, nor between zionism and nazism. both nations are guilty of having engaged in genocide over the span of years, something determined by the ICC, if not the eyes and ears of anyone who has seen the shocking scenes of Israeli terrorism coming from Gaza these past years.

however, this rightfully calling for the death of a ideology that is incompatible with anarchism, and the rest of humanity in general, was enough for MrKaplan to not only instance ban me, but entirely defederate the instances under the control of the FHF cabal from Anarchist Nexus.

but that wasn't enough. they also contacted other admins of popular instances, and encouraged them to defederate from AN and dbzer0, claiming that the other admins of the flotilla had refused to do anything about it, despite MrKaplan immediately defederating as soon as he raised his concerns with our team. this obviously is a blatant lie, likely to cover for the fact that he most likely did not bother reaching a consensus with the other LW admins over his actions before he took them. but idk about that, it's only my speculation. I only know what he and other admins have said behind closed doors to our team.

the fact of the matter is that wishing death to zionists is a popular opinion among leftists. it's one that I've held for years, and it didn't suddenly go away when Israel accelerated their genocide in 2023. nor did it go away when the German government, and certain German instances and users threw their support behind a genocidal regime intent on wiping out a race and religion they see as subhuman. did I say it more often or more plainly than plenty of other leftists? sure! but do not assume that the opinion is not shared by many who oppose an ideology that, like the nazis, is the enemy of all mankind.

for now, I have graciously offered to step down as admin, in the hopes that the FHF will stop throwing their weight around to bully smaller instances and suppress the free speech of the people. it's one thing to ban a user for a viewpoint you don't like. it's another thing to defederate from an instance, and then threaten other instances to get them to defederate as well. it's another thing to go around telling everyone they should defederate simply because you are offended at an opinion that should be shared by all who love humanity. of course, some might say that this is entirely because I accused the "FHF team members of being zionists while simultaneously calling for zionists to be murdered". but if that were true, then why has MrKaplan not also defederated from lemmy.ml, despite many of their users being just as vocal as I am ? there's a big difference between AN and ML, and that difference is user count. MrKaplan feels he can get away with throwing his weight around and demanding other instances censor themselves according to his views when it's an instance that's smaller than LW. and I'm not asking to be unbanned. I really do not care about "missing out" on LW. but at the very least? MrKaplan should not be censoring other instances and maliciously attacking them behind their back by seeking defederation from other admins. and he certainly should not be doing it in the dark, where nobody can see or comment.

UPDATE: @rimu@piefed.social also banned me for "death threats", something which doesn't show up in the modlog because I've never used that instance for anything.

Noticed I got caught in a wave of bans by the mod of apologiafreenews@lemmy.world after downvoting their obvious distraction propaganda. They got pissy in the comments because their first post got heavily downvoted. So they deleted that post, banned everyone that downvoted, then posted it again to game the system. Classy. I wonder how lemmy.world admins feel about mods abusing their authority like this.

*Also, still can't block communities we've been banned from on the community page. What a joke.

1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
No clue🤷‍♀️

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
community ban+removed comments.^Theory^

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
Thanks Warl0k3 @lemmy.world for retrieving the deleted comments!

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
If genocide praxis is “progressive politics,” I want @TokenBoomer@lemmy.world to answer how Islam is a progressive religion.

Note that I allowed Maeve the time to answer if “blasphemous” killings are sanctimonious.

Theory:
It could also be that that lemmy server exploit that soulism.net employs, where as as admin, you can “own” a community, and ban them in your instace, and it federates.

@recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca felt the need to act on Lemmy.world's behalf and follow their instance ban, with their own. Trying to paint critcism of the Fedihosting Foundation as 'trolling' and that I am a bad faith poster despite being 100% and authentic in everything I do and never once using Bad Faith. I've never even once had a post or comment on lemmy.ca require moderation, and had only ever contributed with useful posts to the TIL or Music comm.

Overall a rather shameful display from an otherwise upstanding instance and clear sign of this being a targeted move as it's now the 4th instance ban in 2 days despite never receiving one prior.

@MrKaplan@lemmy.world has decided that one can only say nice things about the company or else you're a troll despite having years long legitimate user history. No rules were broken, only @MrKaplan@piefed.world's feelings. Furthermore I wasn't even the one to call them "and shitlibs" (The FHF is, I just didn't say it) - yet @MrKaplan@piefed.world has decided we both should get instance banned for this.

Good to know that Lemmy.world and the Fedihosting Foundation will tolerate StoneToss and Jago but draw the line at their company being called, a real unofficial rule being enforced on multiple users now.

And Hi @mrkaplan@discuss.online, I know you're watching these threads now :) I made this for you

Edit:

They’ve updated the ban, I’m now banned for stuff I did after being instance banned and not even visible from their instance.

Nice to know you enjoy my FHF meme MrKaplan!

Comment and thread in question: https://lemmy.world/comment/23138585

Ban from that community, memes@lemmy.ml:

Rule 1 of said community: Be civil and nice.

Rule 1 of said instance: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

I was clearly not bigoted in any manner, and I believe more civil than the way I was treated, was it the Code of Conduct? Excerpts:

Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.

Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer.

I think I was kind with the people I disagreed with, even if they could not be in return, yet those comments (some including ableist slurs) remain. I think this is enough to demonstrate it is merely a difference in ideology which motivated the ban. Well, bans, because it seems they copied and pasted the same ban in all the communities they have access to:

It's not a general lemmy.ml ban, just those in particular.

I understand this kind of behavior in safe space communities that don't want outsiders bellyaching about the pragmatism of electoral politics, but that's not the case in any of the communities I've been banned from, nor is it a part of the instance rules or CoC.

PTB or triggered shitlib? Not an exclusive or, of course.

in which PugJesus makes a post about 'solidarity' and immediately bans any anarchist he disagrees with.

I get that tankiejerk is a circlejerk comm, but the hypocracy in this post was so rank I couldn't resist commenting. Obviously I was perm banned within minutes

PJ says:

but when someone says to you “I’m an anarchist, I organize to alleviate suffering at the grassroots level”, the correct response is “Right on, comrade”, even if you think state institutions are the optimal solution.

Me:

I’m an anarchist, I organize locally. It’s a big part of my daily life. based on my experiences I have found way more common cause with so-called ‘tankies’ than liberals when it comes to actually working to oppose the shit that’s crushing us.

[banned]

it turns out that he doesn't practice what he preaches at all. Obligatory:

There's only one mod of !mop@quokk.au

I commented on their meme about Kamala Harris being just as likely to commit war crimes as Trump with an admittedly snarky, sarcastic reply that basically said "some of us wanted to whatever we could, as little as it might be, instead of watching the world burn. Must feel real morally superior safe behind that keyboard"

They banned me from the community for it.

Kinda funny for a community that bills itself as "free from the influence of .ml"

That's right, nuttin'! Here's the modlog:

This mod clicked ban, saw the box to put in a reason, and put nuttin' in it.

Jokes aside, the last thing I did in that community was say "mods, remove this slop please", in the comments under an AI generated meme, posted by a mod. I thought that was funny, but it might have been why the mod decided to ban Me. But the mod didn't see any reason to put that in the modlog, which is where reasons to ban people go.

Apparently I was instance banned for a single downvote on a ~~comment~~ post I disagreed with. I've said before that mods who do this kinda thing are cowards, but I'm honestly not hugely upset about it as I'm not a furry, so whatever. But insulting me in the ban is too much. Grow a fucking spine you pussy, and at least message me if you're too going to insult me with your ban.

Edit: Changed comment to post, for clarity. I assumed it was a comment I downvoted as I tend to interact more in comments.

Edit 2: This got more traction than I expected and I'm glad to see most agree that moderating by voting behavior is childish. I don't condone the transphobia in the comments though. Don't judge people for how they view themselves, judge them for their actions, especially towards others.

Edit 3: Now apparently I'm inciting harassment by posting here. Go fuck yourself. I never even called you out by name.

The video I linked for reference

I guess I was "sympathizing with invaders" because I said "Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man."

Just patently ridiculous moderation...

I started feeling that Lemmy mods remove posts just to prove they are hard working.

Time for a second holocaust

Man, why does Israel seem to want nothing more than to justify what Hitler did? Starting to feel like he should have been given time to finish the job.

I don't know how anyone with a clear mind could possibly defend this kind of behavior, this is Nazi shit. You cannot claim to be "apolitical", ban both sides and then still have a Hitler defender around on your instance.

I don't care if I am banned or not even though I did not do anything wrong - I mostly lurk on here, but Agrivar@lemmy.world should not be welcome in the fediverse, and the fact that they are only banned from 1 community is completely fucking inexcusable. kill all Nazis

I've made 3 posts to that community, none of which were in that span of time. So it had to be due to my accounts posting history. For the clarification, I open a window with all of the tabs of communities I am going to post to and add links/images and then titles. I then scroll down, ctrl tab, and hit submit. I'm not a bot. Which the mod could have just like... asked. But fine. He may not have the common decency to even ask a question before jumping to conclusions but i'll stop posting them so fast. Don't know which moderator it is but given that @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip is the only active moderator over there... fairly sure it was him.

Could just ask next time dude.

Edit: That's a lot of downvotes for not saying anything one way or another.

Edit 2: Ask questions? Get downvoted with no answers. Be polite? Get hostility for no reason. Wow.
