Ye Power Trippin' Bastards @lemmy.dbzer0.com cm0002 @lemmy.world 3mo ago

Banned from most (all?) of .ml for checks notes a post on my home instance

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

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 surprised they didn't ban you from your meme with the 2 ways from a few days ago.
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."

  Somebody tell the dubvee.org admin that
- 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.
Congratulations
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.
- Probably because there's the MeanwhileOnGrad community for that sort of thing.
That mod is the kind of person who would go through your history and downvote every single comment you ever made just because you didn't agree with them once. Also the sort of person who's going to make getting banned from .ml something to be proud of.
incessantly whines about ml/world defederation

gets site-wide ban on ml

"oh those goddamn PTB tankies"

This doesn't seem to have anything to do with YDI/PTB. You just got what you wanted without degrading the user experience of entire .world and .ml user bases.
Why do these whining posts get upvotes? Nobody cares, that's the whole point of the federation. You can move where you want to be
You're probably banned for something as Reddity as checks notes using stupid fucking phrases like checks notes "checks notes"
- "checks notes" really needs to fucking die.
