i was legitimately confused why i was getting zero replies in very active threads. and yes this is just a whine post about how horribly opaque fediverse moderation is these days
rule 1? rule 2? fuck if I know what I said that broke those rules, here’s a ban that you don’t even get notified about. i probably said fuck too many times. that’s “not respectful”.
That’s the Reddit way.
Shadowbanning you without any notification so you’re unaware as long as possible.
I was banned from the climate sub by the mod for disagreeing that humanity will survive the climate apocalypse. No message, just deleted comments. Isn’t that right @silence7 ?
Humanity will survive; society as we know it, or in any form higher than nomadic tribes, not so much.
Glad to know Reddit moderator behavior has carried over, it’s just like old times!
people really seem to have a boner for the apocalypse, from what i’ve seen the reality is that poor people will as always get shafted and most people in developed countries will be mostly fine albeit with a lot of change and maybe having to move if you live in a flooding-prone area.
I always thought a zombie apocalypse would be fun, but a storm planet with insane class disparity full of oil/water wars isn’t going to be fun at all.
It’s soo weird when you a lot of people have weird fantasies about the apocalypse. It gets downright terrifying when you start to mix in nationalism in it.
I hate to break it everyone, most of us are not going to survive the apocalypse. The only ones who are going to survive are the ones that I can survive and were lucky enough to be in the right place at the wrong time. It won’t matter that you have a bunker full of supplies, what the fuck are you going to do when your supplies run out? Or someone with a bigger gun comes? All that gold and crypto you bought for the apocalypse won’t mean shit.
Interesting take. I’ve always posited that the earth and nature will survive but I never included people in that. It’d probably be a reversion to nomadic and hunter/gatherer tribes to start. The question is would it take as long to rebuild? And would it follow the same path again?
Depends on if we destroy the ecosystem long enough and hard enough to kill everything over 50 pounds.
You‘re not allowed to say anything bad about China or Russia over there. Got banned on a few communities too. The mods over there are pretty petty and enforce the „rules“ as they like.
Ahhh, the Reddit way
So a bunch of genocidal toddlers excommunicated you for telling them the truth.
That’s a win, friendo.

The fastest way to handle lemmygrad or hexbear is to just rile them up real good in their communities.
Rather than me banning them, they all ban or block you. Ezpz.
Honestly, why even give a shit?
Of all the things to spend time and energy considering about, comment activity and lemmy.ml is an interestingly niche investment choice.
If you consider anything, it should be retrospectively a positive. You’re cut from that pointless niche now. Go prosper.
I really don’t care, I actually thought it was kind of hilarious i was just yelling into a federated void for two weeks before I realized something was off lmfao hence the meme about the really bad moderation system
100% mods just toss them around to ban opinions they don’t like. I even got one for genocide that I’m not even able to see what I said. Good Lord I wish I could see what pissed them off so much.
You’re in good company. The same thing happened to me and my posts. Also happened to Picard M. We both had our posts removed and is banned for reasons we couldn’t figure out. I ended up making a second account to ask that instance why my posts weren’t able to be seen. Then the same admin (the one who banned us and removed the posts) then contacted us to try to elaborate but has no real answer. Started giving reasons for removal that made no sense within reality, nevermind their insanely vague rules.
The mods and admins are way too inconsistent over there. They do what they want, they don’t enforce. It’s exactly why I outright left lemmy.ml and don’t bother to engage with them anymore. It’s not consistent enough to know what to do and what not to do.
They wanna act like petulant children and throw shit at the walls then they can do so on their own.
This is an perfect example of the empty room fallacy also a pretty funny meme as well
Essentially the empty room fallacy is where you can’t use any public social media platforms or say these things in public but you can say these things in a empty room. Is that still free speech. No that’s absurd. The purpose of speech is to be able to communicate share ideas common interests to talk to one and another and to be able to challenge political ideas in a open and free manor
Ideally we would want to sway away from what lemmy ml is doing even if that involves defederating
Wait, how do I check for bans? Because I find it suspicious that I haven’t been banned from anything when that happened regularly on Reddit
Go to the “Modlog” page at the very bottom of the web interface for your instance. You can search moderation tasks by username, such as your own, and it should show removed content.
I’ve found actual instance bans don’t federate reliably though, so you’d have to check the target instances by opening their web page in an incognito or logged-out browser window, and view their modlog directly instead of your home instances’ modlog.
Thanks!
I’ve just seen I had a comment removed from lemmy.ml, for “rule 1” reasons but don’t really see what’s wrong with the comment other than it goes against the political grain of the community (world news).
People have talked about a modlog but I had no idea what they meant
Good thing there are hundreds of other instances. This a solved problem with Lemmy.
Oh I know theres lots more out there. But I’m uber lazy and like my one comfy account with a specific set of subscribed comfy communities

You probably said something mean about Daddy Marx, or pointed out one of the many flaws with communism.
They’re a sensitive lot.

Actually i’ll guarantee that was it. 14 days ago I was making fun of hexbear users defending russia’s war crimes in the memes /c/ of all places…

They’re campists; they can’t understand any level of moral complexity.
Anyone who opposes the US is inherently good, because surely the west is the only one that can be imperialistic.

I’m kinda not surprised the FOSS community would end up on a communist instance, I’m actually considering just blocking the entire .ML instance at this point.
I’m so sick of seeing them having a tantrum every time YouTube tries to make them either pay for the service, or watch ads.

Okay can someone please point me to a real, physical, existing example of this happening? I’ve got multiple accounts on multiple instances from when the servers I used were less stable and not once on any of them have I ever seen a single person defend Russia or China politically.
Not trying to be decisive it just comes up a lot and at this point feels like a red scare tactic
