r/Art has quietly gone into lockdown and is no longer accepting submissions after mods began facing severe blowback for banning @haydclay for mentioning the word “print” on the subreddit.
I don’t think Lemmy is any better. The other day, a Lemmy moderator didn’t like a video I shared about the potential collapse of the US and banned me from eight communities. As far as I know, the video wasn’t even AI-generated, so I don’t know where he got that idea from.
I got permabanned from [email protected] for asking about the rules in the sticky thread for questions about the rules. Reddit power-tripping mods suck, but we should also be wary about tolerating the same sort of mentality here.
I just looked out of curiosity and I get it, tbh, though you should probably have been given more notice before a temp ban, not a permaban off the bat. You seem to me like you don’t want to follow the rule regarding religion. I’m not trying to start shit, but it’s not a very pleasant set of interactions that follow, and that’s probably not what the mods are looking for.
Being upset about a rule and refusing to follow it are entirely different things, whether the mod understands that or not.
The motherfucker banned me preemptively for something he thought I might do. Not only were there not escalating consequences for multiple offenses (as any reasonable moderation standards would have), there wasn’t even a first offense!
