For “Troll” even though I’ve been boycotting .ml for a while and haven’t made a single post or comment anywhere on .ml lmao
Fairly certain it was over my post (https://lemmy.world/post/24123469) on my home instance community lol
Absolutely PTB, it’s one thing to silence a user for personal beliefs that go against the admins in the communities on that server (which is also PTB in and of itself) but it’s a whole other level to do it to someone for actions outside of those communities or the instance.
This type of thing is unfortunately common on lemmy.ml, I’m kind of surprised there aren’t more posts here calling them out on it.
PTB for sure.
You should only ban a user for activity outside your “turf” in extreme cases, that endanger your users; at most that endanger your community. Clearly not the case here.
Also, a year long ban? Seriously??? The only situation that I can see a mod/admin doing it is when they want to permaban a user, but still say “ackshyually le user wasn’t permabanned lol. we banned them for a limited time lmao.”
I can see a (good faith) admin as wanting to do a 1 year ban instead of permanent in hopes that in a year a person will reflect on their actions and have a different outlook when it expires. Though yeah in this case it’s probably just to make people not go as far as they could in calling it out, so they can say “it’s not that bad, it’s a temporary ban”.
Even if they [a hypothetical admin, not this case] expect the person to reflect on their actions, a whole year seems too long. Odds are that the user will simply forget about the comm/instance and move on.
Looks like you got site banned, bud. Maybe they had enough of you making shitposts about how lemmy.world should defederate from lemmy.ml. I know I’m tired of seeing them.
Maybe your shitposting about lemmy.ml while at the same time reposting lemmy.ml’s memes to lemmy.world was the last straw. Is shit-stirring inter-Lemmy drama really what you want to be doing with your life?
Well, can’t say I didn’t try to keep my shit posting balanced. Apparently, anti-.ml shitposts are ok but shitposts on internal instance problems are “unnecessary drama”
If you dislike how lemmy.world is being run so much, why don’t you pick different instance, or create your own instance, or go back to Reddit, or take up a different hobby?
You seem technically skilled. You can start cm0002.world and power trip however you want.
I’m sorry but the start a new instance argument people throw around to dismiss moderation issues is a stupid one. Why? Because on federated systems like Lemmy, the instance that has the bigger slice of the pie (most users, most active communities) has the most control and power. Meaning the biggest platforms have the ability to kill your Fediverse experience almost completely, and starting a new server or joining another one won’t help you if you’re banned (I’m assuming you’re not going for intentional ban evasion) and if you’re being censored, it also won’t help you because they’ll still censor you from the majority of the fediverse. If they’re big and powerful enough they may even get others to join them in defederating your instance, making the impact that much bigger.
So while it is technecally true to say that Fediverse platforms are decentralized, I think it is dishonest and disingenuous to try and frame moderation issues like the ones with Lemmy.world or lemmy.ml as ones that can be solved by starting your own server, or migrating to another server. They can’t, because those servers control a larger portion of the pie, as in the communities and the userbase available.
I mean .world is fine most of the time, the meme was about a recent change where mods are apparently not supposed to remove obvious misinformation and instead “fight it with words”
why don’t you pick different instance
Under evaluation
create your own instance
Under evaluation; waiting for Lemmy alternatives, like piefed, to mature more
go back to Reddit
Hell no, most of my disdain here is centered around letting Tankies run rampant with their misinformation genocide denying authoritarian praising crap. Everything else is at worst a “meh”
Maybe, just maybe, you’re not ready to see other world views and you still belong on reddit where only US military approved information can be posted.
Tell me then, how are authoritarian governments like Chinas CCP a good thing?
A dictatorship of the proletariat is in fact a good thing as you have actual control of your government and life.
Yea that’s the theory, tell me, how well is that going for the average person in China right now?
You can’t help but jump straight to Western Defender of the Free World mode at the slightest nudging can you 😂 You don’t need to do the CIA’s job for them.
Yea no, you can in fact hate the US gov and the dictatorships of China and Russia at the same time
Now you can talk shit all over .ml and the only users that can see it would be non-.ml people. Welcome to the club
Oh is that what happens with a site ban? I knew it would prevent me from voting, commenting and posting on .ml (oh no!) Did not realize it would prevent them from seeing my posts lolol
Welcome to the club
Thanks! I’ll wear it as a badge of honor!
They don’t federate, I don’t think. Only the reddit.world echo chamber would see them.
.ml federates with nearly all legal instances. You might be thinking of behaw or hexbear.
Because user cm0002 is site banned from lemmy.ml, lemmy.ml rejects his comments on lemmy.ml posts, which means lemmy.ml won’t federate those comments, which means those comments won’t spread beyond cm0002’s own instance, lemmy.world.
It will federate if he carefully chooses to reply only to people who aren’t on Lemmy.ml, since it is their homeserver that handles the federation of those comment replies. I know because I’ve seen users who are site-banned from an instance and can still comment and have it appear in other instances because they were replying to someone who wasn’t on the server they were site banned on.
Good to know. The subtleties of Lemmy federation are a trip.
I’m surprised they didn’t ban you from your meme with the 2 ways from a few days ago.
