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.

If you bring up anything remotely political you're absolutely going to get banned

I was banned from globalnews (or similar) for saying that killing civilians qwas bad even when Hamas did it. I was banned for being a 'genocide supporter'

And then I was banned from every single lemmy.ml community I was in (signal, fairphone, fdroid etc) for talking about the uyguhr genocide

So yeah, I should probably see this as a chance to quit social media completely and go touch grass

Power tripping bastard for sure, banning someone for misspelling words? If anything that makes him look like a troll, not the OP.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I swear I've seen this same situation some time ago including with the exact misspelling. Could be a coincidence, though.

EDIT: searching misspelling banned gives a comment by OP from 23 days ago (but the post is gone). I'm assuming what I remember seeing was probably this post before it was deleted and reposted.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

Probably. I did post this somewhere else and it was deleted. I didn't know of this place yet lol

[–] [email protected] 71 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because it's clearly normal for your typography and patience to improve when you're pissed off

Not to mention autoincorrect having gotten so much worse over the years.

finally a space to diss on jordanlund bless 😭

i was banned by this mod for politely noting how certain comments lead to escalation of inappropriate behavior. i noted how by bantering with infringing accounts after comment removal, [email protected] mods actually increased the work they needed to do to remove abusive content and amplified toxic voices as a whole. i used no unkind language and really at the time i genuinely hoped for improvement to the quality of the community.

their response?

  • permabanned
  • for “mod abuse”
  • one month after i made the post in question

don’t use [email protected]. their entire mod team is dedicated to just kind of fucking around in a sandbox with thousands of users, not to creating a space for genuine constructive world news engagement. preferably also just stop using lemmy.world when possible.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 week ago

World is the most carbon copy of Reddit of all instances. And that's not a pro.

I am definitely considering switching from lemmy.world after the blatent censoring of posts and comments from large communities that happened the past few days.

Jordanlund is almost as big a piece of shit as LyingSquid.

"Against me? No. The differentiator I experience is because I'm male. I've had a lot of anti-male sentiment. I lost a job because of it. Because somebody didn't like having talking to a guy. Such is life."

This is some borderline incel bullshit here.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm sure there is nothing else to the 'I lost my job because somebody didn't like having to talk to a guy' thing either.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 week ago

That’s kind of what I meant by the incel thing. To be it reads like “I was talking to coworkers in a terribly sexist and misogynistic manner and I got fired. That’s how a TOP 1% MAN speaks, so obviously I got fired because someone doesn’t like having to talk to a man, not because I’m a piece of shit with no self-awareness.”

The whole bit about sympathizing with the BLM protesters but wishing they would protest in places where cops have actually shot people instead of in his city because it inconvenienced him screams that he’s unaware of both his privilege and his power, which only reinforces the whole lack of self-awareness thing.

You ever read one thing about someone, and all of a sudden, everything about them comes into focus and makes sense?

This isn’t satire? It reads as satire…

Wait, what? FlyingSquid seems fine. In the only drama I saw involving them, it seemed to me like they were in the right. I asked someone who was all heated up about what a POS they were for some details or examples, and literally all they could come up with was a single un-called for message FlyingSquid sent to one user months ago, which for a full-time moderator means they're way ahead of the curve.

Edit: Maybe I should ask for examples, what did FlyingSquid do?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 week ago (16 children)

FlyingSquid has a tendency to threaten moderator action in response to arguments they're heavily involved in, which often comes off as a last-ditch effort to 'win'.

I’ve seen FS straight up lie when banning people, making up excuses etc. For a period they even followed me around commenting on nearly everything I did trying to harass me until I called him out and the “coincidental” replies magically stopped.

FS is worse than JL from every interaction I’ve had with eirher. JL I can see having a bit of common sense and maturity.

I feel the separation between staff and user has already been entrenched.

Looking at modlogs, at times the given reasons show to me at least that they, the mods, have grown tired and are now settling on getting rid of potential trouble rather than fixing it.

Experienced can also mean jaded and in that state of mind you no longer care about circumstances, you just want to get shit done so you'll be rid of another stress you don't want to deal with.

Mods also need a timeout. The volunteer excuse can only work for so long. A way has to be found to prevent them from feeling like they're in a deadend job where they're only greeted with hostility. We need a mod relaxation and decompression program.

Lemmy.World mods are extremely Zionist and frequently ban users for saying anything remotely pro Palestinian or making a claim about Israel without evidence.

Saying 20.000 killed Palestinians were Hamas without evidence to justify the genocide however, is totally fine.

A very open Zionist "gedeliyah" got promoted to mod on their news community.

Imagine being a regular person with no dog in this race personally and still going yeah, genocide seems good.

I was banned from c/politics by that same mod because of bullshit reasons too. They're a petty tyrant who can't handle anything that might disrupt their echo chamber.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 week ago

I just stopped activity in all places that mod had power in. I already had issues with news on lw.

Going to migrate instances later.

So excluding people due to a potential: innocent mistake, minor lack of knowledge, language difference (as simple as UK vs US English, and or different spelling from a different language you might speak. Either way, if you look it up, the spelling you used is not uncommon, it's even used in some MSM reports and documentaries), learning and or one of many other disabilities, shit device.

And they say we create echo chambers when we want to get away from such bullshit.

wtf is it with lemmy world mods. you think this is reddit? do you want your instance to be an echo champer or want users to just leave and join another?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago

Clearly you are faking your outrage if you can't spell "chamber". You're rumbled. Banned for trolling.

jordanlund's modding is very questionable.

does he know how to mod or he is just doing based on his feelz?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 week ago

Not surprised, Jordan is one of the fucking worst. If not number one at least number two worst mod on all of Lemmy.

I got perma banned from reddit for telling pedophiles in the doctor disrespect community that regardless of legality, fucking a 16 year old makes you a scumbag. Funny that.

Some places have become like reddit. The saving grace is it never all will. The joy of federation is you can always leave the places they control.

I have said it multiple times (many times removed) but Jordanlund and Flyingsquid are Jewish Supremacists that are pro-Israel in everything but name. They will show up to anything remotely Israel to defend Israel while saying they aren’t for Israel.

This might be the worst one I've seen on here.

Edit: Also, this is why trolling shouldn't be against the rules... it's way too subjective and always ends up getting abused by shitty mods. I get that people don't like trolling but it's better to be specific and ban the obnoxious things trolls do instead of trying to speculate about their state of mind.

It's a systematic problem. The large LW communities have a stranglehold that prevents new ones from taking hold.

For Lemmy to improve, there needs to be a very easy way to find new communities, particularly on different instances!

Currently there is no way to navigate communities on other instances without a direct keyword search, or by opening a private window to get the link directly from the other server as a logged off user. Clicking the 'Communities' link also needs to default to rising new communities, and not to existing communities.

There also needs to be a major change to the hot/active sorting algorithm to favor small communities with higher engagement % over large ones with higher net upvotes (lower engagement %). The top ten communities should be changing from month to month - otherwise large communities will only get further entrenched and moderation will only get worse.

This is a change that the devs would have to implement. Otherwise dbzer0 or lemmyzip or whatever other server that grows next will just eventually turn into LW and the same problem will repeat.

Does anyone know if these ideas have already been discussed in a closed pull request?

There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and internet moderators being power tripping cucks.
