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.

Rules

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.


Some acronyms you might see.

As per .world worldnews mod, no discussing naughty stuff like jury nullification.

While this post is blowing up, here's the book referenced by the shooter:

They keep claiming all these things against the TOS yet you can read that and none of it's in there. I don't know what it is about these mods but they sure seem to be trying to push their own agenda.

Remember how the [email protected] mods kept pushing for months the propaganda bot from a pro-Zionist and very rightwing (so much so that their definition of a Rightwing news media was pretty much only the Far-Right ones) organisation trying to tell everybody which news to trust and which to not trust?

Also, curiously and back some months ago when I was making anti-Zionist posts in my Lemmy.world account, all of a sudden I started getting e-mails on the account I used to register on Lemmy.world from an Israeli organisation doing "Education about Israel" courses and they knew not just my e-mail but also the country I lived in (the e-mails were in my native language) even though I didn't share my email on any posts.

I blocked that bot ages ago, is it still doing its annoying as all fuck thing or did they give up on it?

After a mod insisted that the .world admins would demod them if they removed the bot and reinstate it anyway, someone pinged an admin who was like ‘what? no.’

After that a poll was held, and the kill it option won.

Funny to go through that post now that the bot was killed by popular vote and see commenters adamantly insisting that it was 1% of users who wanted it gone.

Oh, definitely

Honestly, it felt like a bunch of the pushback was someone just super proud of the bot they made lol. How could their perfect bot ever be bad??

If you look for "poll" in that community you should be able to find it

[–] AwesomeLowlander 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Found some meta posts, but not the actual poll itself. Oh well, was just idle curiosity

Huh, that's a lot closer than expected. And a lot fewer votes than expected in total.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Haha, this seems typical of the absolute clusterfuck that is .world.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

They eventually gave up on it.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

They gave up, took a while though

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Around the time they elections were finally over.

Still love the mods of news banned a bunch of people that were raising criticism of the shitty bot, and then the admins just ignoring it when asked about it.

_we're looking into it _

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

I was questioning a certain mod why they banned someone for TOS violations but left up the offending comments and they were confused why anyone would question them about it.

Like if something is that bad you ban and remove it but they thought it was better to use as an example.

Simply put they just use it as their go to excuse.
