PTB for sure.

You should only ban a user for activity outside your "turf" in extreme cases, that endanger your users; at most that endanger your community. Clearly not the case here.

Also, a year long ban? Seriously??? The only situation that I can see a mod/admin doing it is when they want to permaban a user, but still say "ackshyually le user wasn't permabanned lol. we banned them for a limited time lmao."

Congratulations

Looks like you got site banned, bud. Maybe they had enough of you making shitposts about how lemmy.world should defederate from lemmy.ml. I know I'm tired of seeing them.

Maybe your shitposting about lemmy.ml while at the same time reposting lemmy.ml's memes to lemmy.world was the last straw. Is shit-stirring inter-Lemmy drama really what you want to be doing with your life?

Well, can't say I didn't try to keep my shit posting balanced. Apparently, anti-.ml shitposts are ok but shitposts on internal instance problems are "unnecessary drama"

If you dislike how lemmy.world is being run so much, why don't you pick different instance, or create your own instance, or go back to Reddit, or take up a different hobby?

You seem technically skilled. You can start cm0002.world and power trip however you want.

I mean .world is fine most of the time, the meme was about a recent change where mods are apparently not supposed to remove obvious misinformation and instead "fight it with words"

why don't you pick different instance

Under evaluation

create your own instance

Under evaluation; waiting for Lemmy alternatives, like piefed, to mature more

go back to Reddit

Hell no, most of my disdain here is centered around letting Tankies run rampant with their misinformation genocide denying authoritarian praising crap. Everything else is at worst a "meh"

I'm sorry but the start a new instance argument people throw around to dismiss moderation issues is a stupid one. Why? Because on federated systems like Lemmy, the instance that has the bigger slice of the pie (most users, most active communities) has the most control and power. Meaning the biggest platforms have the ability to kill your Fediverse experience almost completely, and starting a new server or joining another one won't help you if you're banned (I'm assuming you're not going for intentional ban evasion) and if you're being censored, it also won't help you because they'll still censor you from the majority of the fediverse. If they're big and powerful enough they may even get others to join them in defederating your instance, making the impact that much bigger.

So while it is technecally true to say that Fediverse platforms are decentralized, I think it is dishonest and disingenuous to try and frame moderation issues like the ones with Lemmy.world or lemmy.ml as ones that can be solved by starting your own server, or migrating to another server. They can't, because those servers control a larger portion of the pie, as in the communities and the userbase available.

Absolutely PTB, it's one thing to silence a user for personal beliefs that go against the admins in the communities on that server (which is also PTB in and of itself) but it's a whole other level to do it to someone for actions outside of those communities or the instance.

This type of thing is unfortunately common on lemmy.ml, I'm kind of surprised there aren't more posts here calling them out on it.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 6 months ago

Probably because there's the MeanwhileOnGrad community for that sort of thing.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Getting banned from .ml means you're still sane. That's a good thing.

[-] [email protected] -1 points 6 months ago

Why do these whining posts get upvotes? Nobody cares, that's the whole point of the federation. You can move where you want to be

incessantly whines about ml/world defederation

gets site-wide ban on ml

"oh those goddamn PTB tankies"

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with YDI/PTB. You just got what you wanted without degrading the user experience of entire .world and .ml user bases.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules

Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.

Some acronyms you might see.

PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
CLM - Clueless Mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
