This needs to be explained. Mod removes comment and then says same exact thing. (sh.itjust.works)

I'm not OP, but from the timeline it seems legit.

Timeline:

OP posts comment
Mod removes comment with no reason
Mod post the exact same comment that was removed
OP complains and shows a screenshot.

Edit: User says there was a reason-

My comment was similar to Stupes.

The reason for it being deleted was the same as his reply to Stupe

That means the mod removed the post because it was similar to an entirely different user and then posts the same thing as the user's comment that was removed, 15 minutes later.

I don't understand the why of this? I've seen him be great, what is the point of all this.

EDIT 2: This seems to be my mistake or OP was fibbing. Regardless, still a little weird, but feel free to go after me if you feel necessary. I apologize for the drama.

This is so dumb I want to chalk it up to a mistake but I can’t think of how it could be. Puzzling. Will give @[email protected] a chance to explain before casting judgement.

Edit: I believe this is a misunderstanding of the situation. Here’s the original comment, which was not identical to the one Jordan then posted. It may have been removed by mistake. I’m guessing they hit remove instead of reply which is why the comment showed up as the reason for removal.

Always post the modlog folks!

Yeah, not sure what happened there. I saw two users making the same comment, replied to one then was in the process of copy/pasting the reply to the other and the comment had already been removed.

I figured "🤷‍♂️ I guess they saw the other comment and removed it" and went on with my day. Wasn't aware of the drama until I saw the other replies.

I restored the post with commentary, not quite sure how it all happened.

You removed the post instead of replying and put your intended reply in the removal reason.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

That's the way it got recorded, but like I say, that's not what my intention was.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Thank you for clarifying

That was the first comment, not the second. You're mistaken on what is happening.

Also, why did he post the exact same thing and not just restore the guy's comment?

[-] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I am no fan of jordanlund but this seems like an actual mistake. He did remove the comment with the apparently intended reply text and has since restored the original post.

The whole thing makes it look like jordanlund is incompetent because he couldn't tell the difference between a reply and a removal reason. Maybe they look the same, I dunno because I don't mod anything.

Don't drink and lemmy, kids

[-] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

You can't expect ppl to be sober and moderate content lol.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Oh, god, isn't THAT the truth!

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

That comment isn't the one removed from what I can tell. That's an entirely different comment. That's why I think you're mistaken. The one you're showing was already restored when I made this post.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Only one of the two similar comments was removed, and it was Darkard's.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It was restored once they realized what happened.

I didn’t see any other comment removals in the modlog. Posting the modlog is a rule here for a reason. If my understanding is incorrect then you need to prove that in a way that can be verified.

[-] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I saw he restored it because he's noping out, lol.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I had entirely forgotten that I'd blocked jordanlund

[-] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago

Good lord it's always Jordan. Sucks so much.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

It’s been a couple weeks since our good friend Jordan was in here for something stupid.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Well this escalated somewhat...

Anyway, all sorted, now back to your regularly scheduled drama.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

This would have bugged me for a bit if I didn't track some things down. I learned a few things through this, so thanks for pointing all of it out.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

No idea what this is all about, but received is spelt incorrectly.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I trust Jordan, I hope there's a good explanation for this

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

It seems to be my mistake.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I just read the rest of the thread... yeah looks like a mod mistake to me rather than malice. Good

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1344 readers

41 users here now

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.
