We defederated from them as soon as they came up + that it was an obvious spiritual successor to exploding-heads.com
Seems like SJW did the same. I'm a bit surprised we didn't do an Agora vote but based on the last one I suspect almost everyone would be fine with it. Maybe it has something to do do with joining Fedecan?
So are SJW and CA sibling or cousin instances now?
I checked a wayback machine snapshot from October 2024 and I see hilariouschaos.com there, so it's not recent.
We're remain separate instances, with separate budgets and donations, the only thing Fedecan does is help with the administrative burden (not that much overhead compared to operating separately), and sh.itjust.works are always free to detach themselves from Fedecan if our missions no longer align, with contingencies in place to facilitate this.
All you need to know about that instance is they will delete comments for arguing with well known right wing trolls such as DJM/UM.
arguing with well known right wing troll~~s~~ such as DJM/UM.
Fair. Definitely the same person. Pretty sure he has a couple other alts that I have tagged but I'm not 100% certain yet.
They’re both one and the same.
HilariousChaos is a troll instance, what did you expect? It’s essentially a less cerebral 4Chan on lemmy but without the charm.
"Cerebral", "charm", "4chan" lmao okay.
I see you found the joke.
This is the post that got me banned for five months.
I got banned by that same mod for saying that DonaldJMusk is Universal Monk. There’s even proof now to verify it.
They’re totally cool with it. So, blocked the instance and the admin. No loss.
Gotta love when the trash takes itself out.
Hell, at this point, it isn't even power tripping, it's just plain fuckery. Some people just like seeing shit stirring around.
Which, I guess that could apply to SMCF (the OP) as well, but that's different lol, we enjoy that brand of fuckery. Well, I do.
Classic chucklefuck the clown
What an awful use of the name of a classic Avantris character.

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.
