Mod removed my comment because it questioned the core premise of a meme.

I don't think such a comment should be removed.

BPR and YDI.

I remember your server admin, just a user back then, participating in an attempt to spread exploding-head's crap on the threadiverse through the inactive rammy.site after they got massively defederated; framing trans people as groomers and shit.

Your kind of dIvErSiTy should have stayed on Nostr.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

(I mod that comm, but didn't remove that comment)

YDI, you were clearly trolling.

[-] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago

What rule did I break? Plus I wasn't trolling.

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

Which rule did he break, sweetie?

[-] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Yeah there are a group of people on lemmy who really like to have paternalistic control of both narrative, and thoughts. Which is somewhat antithetical to the very nature of federation.

So in the meme.

Anyone can join the fediverse!
Ohh, no.... anyone can join the fediverse

then asking "Why don't u like diversity?" is asking someone to come to terms with their dichotomous view of the fediverse, a place for anyone includes everyone. Some people are not ready to come to terms with that.

In general - I think it's not a great idea for a moderator to remove comments from posts they have made themselves, even if they can keep themselves objective, it doesn't look that way. I say this fully admitting I do it myself (because I mostly run super tiny communities).

The rules for the community

Rules - General

Be respectful

Post on topic

No bigotry or hate speech

I don't think OPs comment breaks any rules.

There is diversity and there is hate groups. If you can't tell the difference, maybe it's time for some self-reflection. I'm not sure if I would have removed it, but I don't think it was unjustified.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Maybe BPR but PTB nonetheless. You should give people the benefit of the doubt until they've removed said doubt. Asking someone why they feel a certain way about a topic when they've just posted essentially a reaction meme to it is innocent enough.

Also, if it was the post's OP that removed the comment after it was essentially advocating for tolerating diverse views then that's kinda funny.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

It was in fact the post op that removed the comment.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

PTB. Some mods are really butthurt about just anything.

Hilariouschaos is the renewal of exploding heads, it attracts monsters like flies (or something like that, parent deleted their comment so I'm paraphrasing)

Can someone show me the hate on hilariouschaos that makes them monsters? They have been censured on fediseer, I think unfairly - each censure is a supposition about what they might do, not what they have done on hilariouschaos. When I look at the instance itself I don't see hate or antagonism, they are not combative like hexbear.

I personally think if a group keeps their crazy into !crazythoughts@instance and then goes out into the fediverse acting as good citizens and respecting posted community rules... then thats fine, they are good fediverse neighbors.

Censures - https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/hilariouschaos.com - None of this point to something the instance itself did. Most of the censures are blank... It's not reasonable to censure a instance for predicted behavior, and its really unreasonable to just echo a censure without doing a investigation "i.e. the n/a censures"

Their admin action modlog looks reasonable :

Update - I've made a dedicated fedigrow post on HC and their censures and defederation.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 22 hours ago

They have the new conservative communities, and their admins both participate in them.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Their admin is an open transphobe.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

You also say that about me... : https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=3&userId=1364396 That is a position I disagree with, obviously I don't think I am.

It would be helpful to see content on HC that demonstrates why they are discriminated against and censured so widely

do they export their beliefs to your instance, and cause trouble for your people?

[-] [email protected] -1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

And here you are, sealioning.

Interesting.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

And here you are, sealioning.

Interesting.

That is reductive thinking - we are in a moderator review discussion which requires us to look at both moderator and commenter actions.

In this discussion the grand parent commenter used the users instance as a factor, and I'm asking for evidence for the instance censures, which is reasonable. If we are saying being a member of a instance is enough to get moderated then its reasonable to establish, WITH EVIDENCE, that the instance censures are based on actions rather then speculations.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Asking a question in good faith is not sealioning. You really really need to learn how to use that word correctly.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

I can’t show you specific examples but my block list is filled with users from that instance. They seem to attract shitheads for some reason.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Fair enough, but to understand the impact of your block list, I need to know under what circumstances you would block someone?

[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

I block rude people, bigots, and tankies or fascists. i have noticed hilarious chaos as the instance of a bunch of the users i end up blocking. Their url is rather unique and sticks in the brain.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Here is hilarious chaos's TOS: https://www.termsfeed.com/live/2df34e41-7192-4df8-bfc2-c311fe60a35a which they post under their legal section off the main instance landing page.

Content Restrictions

You may not transmit any Content that is unlawful, offensive, upsetting, intended to disgust, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene or otherwise objectionable. Examples of such objectionable Content include, but are not limited to, the following:

Unlawful or promoting unlawful activity.

Defamatory, discriminatory, or mean-spirited content, including references or commentary about religion, race, sexual orientation, gender, national/ethnic origin, or other targeted groups.

Spam, machine – or randomly – generated, constituting unauthorized or unsolicited advertising, chain letters, any other form of unauthorized solicitation, or any form of lottery or gambling. ....

Violating the privacy of any third person.

The TOS seems reasonable, and second point seems to go against the censures accusations.

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

I believe many of the censures came to being as a coordinated effort to isolate the instance as it was one of the first that allows speech that doesn't tow the lemmy party line.

From the interactions I've seen on my community on hc all the vile activity has come from outside instances.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

I was not aware there was a 'lemmy party line', especially considering the origins of lemmy and its devs

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

They are a bit of a nazi bar afaik. I think it's pretty well established, do you really need us to look up specifics?

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

They have been censured on fediseer, I think unfairly - each censure is a supposition about what they might do, not what they have done on hilariouschaos

Lots of Lemmites are obsessed with censoring people for what they "might do." It's getting freakin' crazy lately. lol

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

1415 readers

8 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.
