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.
It might just be a PoV thing. OP, for example, is at a pure “attack on sight” mode with me, but someone like yourself isn’t going to get that same treatment. I think an easy fix is to take comments that advocate mass violence against “the tankies” or otherwise more seriously. You don’t have to make this a left-unity space, it’s entirely in y’all’s right to maintain an anarchist space for anarchists, but from a pure interest in better discussion it’s better to give the few extremely vocal and anti-communist users here a bit of a slap on the wrist when it comes to that.
Again, I’m aware that anarchists usually are fairly negative towards the USSR or other AES examples as they are against all states. It’s when AES is equated to the Nazis that this enters Holocaust trivialization territory, results in users calling for mass violence, etc, and regardless of community rules you’re going to see federated communists come in and push back on that.
I agree that banning is a solution too, I explained why I think OP being banned from the communism comm is actually relatively benign. It’s the same reason I pretty much never go to anarchist-specific spaces, my interactions with dbzer0 are pretty much the occasional times I check in on Lefty Memes or if I see anything going on in this comm, and neither comm is explicitly against Marxist participation.
In short, I think 80% of the struggle comes from 20% of the users (or even 95% from 5%, or 99% and 1%). Slapping them on the wrist a bit more when they get carried away would drastically reduce struggle sessions.
