1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards
2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Community Ban
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).
(I have not posted there)
Likewise the community has no rules listed, so I'm not sure how I've broken rule 4
Davel is probably going to try to claim me downvoting a post or comment of his that popped up on my feed or something as me breaking the entire instances rule 4 (no spam?) - which is why I need to be banned only from one community I don't engage in.
Lemmy.ml admin Davel has been rage downvoting my posts a lot lately, even going so far as to downvote me telling real legitimate antisemites to 'fuck off'.
Even CowBee had the decency to admit they were in the wrong and change their ragevote to an upvote.
Davel however seems to especially thinskinned even for the typical .ML'er and would rather double down and engage in poorly disguised retaliation bans for criticisms of a political ideology.
This thought terminating behaviour on display by one of the admins of such a reputable and outstanding instance as Lemmy.ml was not at all warranted and I hereby call on the leadership at lemmy.ML to unban me so that I may continue to not post in their community.
Is... is there a rule anywhere that says thats how the comm operates?
Or are we just all supposed to assume potentially any comm is run by the invisible and artibrary whims and unstated rulesets of mods?
They're not... I don't think they are upset they cannot participate in a comm they did not participate in. That's not the point.
The point is the the princple, or lack thereof.
If you want to have an instance wide rule that actually codifies, in some way, the ability of admins/powermods to ban anyone, from anywhere, for any reason... then that would be shitty, but at least openly and transparently shitty.
Then at least Dictatorship of the Daveletariat would at least be, you know, explicitly stated policy?
... does such a public facing rule or ruleset already exist, and I just missed it?
I was just pointing out that there are multiple communities on the threadiverse that do the same thing, including some hosted on this very instance! A community moderator's job is to grow a community and if a person isn't a right fit for the community why would a moderator want to keep them around, especially if they are disruptive to the community
Ok, so they deserve being banned for ... breaking an undefined rule.
That's your position?
EDIT: the whole problem here is this person got banned from a comm they'd never been to... for spamming.
That doesn't make sense.
You saying them being banned from a comm they'd never been to... for disrupting that comm... also does not make any sense.
The other element of this problem is powermods (by which I mean people who mod multiple comms) and admins banning people from one place for infractions committed in another, and then potentially daisy chaining through private convos between mods... when said banned person isn't really clearly violating stated rules that have that stated penalty outcome.
That is exactly the kind of hivemind/culty bullshit that is what people hate about reddit, that there's basically just a cool kids club that doesn't actually follow any rules with any consistency, and just acts as a kind of Mean Girls squad, exiling and censoring people ... basically for annoying them or making fools of them.
Its middle school mentality. Vibes based moderation. Censorship by popularity contest, where only the cool kids get to vote on that.
What the fuck is wrong with you? I left your goddamn instance because of this shit to come over here and you are diagnosing me as seriously mentally ill. I'm sorry you all won I won't make another comment in this community again. Just Stop.
Admin here. I'm sorry you had a bad experience and that this post got necroed again. The YPTB community tends to be quite combative in nature, so I agree it's probably a good idea to give it a miss if internet slap fights aren't your thing.
I'd like to also take this opportunity to point out the disengage rule, which can be very helpful to short-circuit this type of situation. While it's too late this time around, hopefully you can put it to good use in future.
FYI, I'm issuing a warning and a community ban to @eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com and @sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com. It's not ok to gang up on and bad-jacket other users, especially Flotilla members, just because you disagree with them. Lurkers can also be legit users.
Also, as very little of this comment thread was at all relevant to the post topic, I've now removed most of it.
I don't know what the fuck hexbear is or why you are so obsessed with me. I stopped using lemmy because of the horrible experience I had in this post, saw a degoogle post that mentioned piefied so I made a new account here to get away and when I went to look at what communities I had subscribed to on the lemmy account I see you are still talking about me.
Please stop, I don't want anything to do with you or this community and won't make the mistake of commenting here again.
Or maybe I prefer to lurk and spend more time offline? What is this bad-faith misogyny directed at me for?
More bad faith bullshit, I downvoted you one time in this post "She won’t acknowledge shit." You two are so dogmatic about tankies you are attacking me because I disagree with your boys club
My position is that if you don't like a community then you should not go there to be disruptive. When someone continues to disrupt a community that they dislike it is within the moderators duties to stop that. I support the moderators on divisionbyzero who use that to curate positive communities, just the other day another moderator made a now locked post saying they do the exact same thing complained about by the OP. I also have a reply from Diva saying that the OP has done this same action so I stand by my PTB statement.
Ok so you're missing the entire basis point of why this is absurd.
They got banned from a comm they'd never been to, never posted in... because they were apparently 'spamming'.
You... can't have spammed a community that you've never made a post or comment in.
... Also, you say you stand by your PTB statement?
Your original statement, the inciting thing for this whole comment chain... is you issuing a YDI verdict.
Not a PTB verdict.
Those two are basically total opposites.
... Are you confused?
Like, just generally?
