Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

That doesn't mean you and him don't share common behavior patterns, especially when it comes to the trolling and the abusive behavior. Something you've definitely shown a lot of if that and your previous modlog is any indication.
Yeah I trust db0 a hell of a lot more than I trust the likes of you, but I can still verify what you've said, and yeah. 100% justified. I'm surprised he didn't ban you permanently for such blatantly bad faith behavior.
"Everyone against me is a Terrorist Extremist!!!1!!!1!11" You unironically. Probably what you think of everyone who isn't screaming accusations at people and calling them names. The funny part is that it is behavior like that which makes a person look like an extremist.
You are expected to maintain basic civility regardless, and you are also expected not to make random unmerited accusations towards others. When one sees that it's against the rules and goes "fuck it, I'm going to do it anyway" it's natural they get banned for it. Expect to keep getting banned for it, and since modlogs are public on Lemmy, and most users are here on Lemmy, expect them to judge you for your past infractions.
Great, I don't care about user score, just like I don't care about Karma on Reddit, it's useless.
It's obvious you were deflecting because even you can't be that daft to think that I meant user score when I said reputation. See what I actually meant by it was how people think of you as a person, and from the people I've been talking to (users, mods, and admins), yours isn't so great. Long history of trolling and hostility towards others. I think you knew exactly what I meant though when you said reputation and just wanted to try and flex hoping to make me feel bad or inferior. That shit doesn't work on me.
FInally back on topic.
Okay let's break this down.
Yes they would indeed. When and if they get caught, that could take a long time if what they're doing is simply tracking people sending DNT requests, requires them being found out by someone, and requires that person reporting it, them being investigated to find out if they're actually doing it, and it requires that the investigation find that they were doing it and actually hold them accountable for real.
Do you and I not live in the same world because the world I know has a large number of known white-collar criminals who stole money, or violated laws secretly to avoid spending more money and increase profits because they didn't think they'd get caught doing it.
Of course they fucking would, do you know what's better than a slim chance of being caught? No chance of being caught, because it wouldn't be illegal. Just because they aren't going to follow the laws in the name of profit doesn't mean they don't seek to change the laws for their own interest.
If you want to cry about me being "abusive" towards actual trolls and abusers (you know, those who glorify violence and genocide), then that's on you, I honestly don't care. I've took enough unwarranted abuse here to know that I'm on the right side, because I'm not the one who sympathizes with literal terrorists and murderers. And yes, fuck those people, including mods! I will stand by that until I'm banned in the entire Fediverse if I have to, I'll block any abusive mods and all of their communities anyway. I'm not gonna start sucking Hamas cock & be okay with blatant disinformation, just because it's the cool thing to do here.
You can't since they removed the comments, but here's one that shows where it all started;
That's the logic and agenda db0 operates under, but I'm the one arguing in bad faith? 
You're doing the same mistake that people on Reddit did; trusting random ass moderators not being on a power trip and pushing their own agendas.
"Probably" - very confident. I'm offensive towards those who literally make excuses & sympathize with Hamas, who call to the death of Israel, who think murder & mob rule is justified. I'm not making accusations to people who do not do that, I'm doing it towards all the terrorist simps on this platform, which are plentiful. Even the freaking Lemmy devs are literal Tankies, or are you going to deny that too?
They're neither random nor unmerited. They're observable facts based on the complete bullshit that people on here constantly say. This isn't even in any sort of way new or unexpected, it's well known that Lemmy is housing a lot of Tankie extremists with very questionable views. When the moderators refuse to moderate such content, I'm of course not going to be nice to them. I don't care if they ban me for speaking out and having a clear stance, that still makes them worse than me.
LOL It shows the quality of ones postings. The Linkerbaan was in the negatives by the thousands for his trolling. If I was such a troll, like you're claiming, then I'd be too. But outside of reacting strongly towards people with extremist views I'm actually a completely reasonable person, giving helpful advice where I can. In Germany we say "As one calls into the forest, it resounds." and I'm merely resounding the tone that's being used by others. So yes, if you call for genocide or murder, expect me to respond in kind. But feel free to ignore the context behind those moderator actions and just do your mental gymnastics to to feed your confirmation bias. Doesn't make you right, but at least you can get that cozy feeling about it.
Which is why whistleblower protections should be a thing. Aside from that, it's not like this that uncommon to happen. The thing is that it's not that easy to hide as you make it out to be, but of course you expect that things like this happen anyway, even though you have no proof of it happening, which is why you argue that it is pointless trying to enforce it anyway, which again, is stupid and exactly the outcome such companies want.
Well, if they did not get caught, then you would not know about it. If they did get caught, then laws seem to actually work. So something does not add up in your world.
I guess that's a little better than your original assessment of it being useless. Progress!
