MODERATORS
 

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".

You probably said something mean about Daddy Marx, or pointed out one of the many flaws with communism.

They're a sensitive lot.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 35 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (3 children)

Actually yeah. 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... which is weird that they defend it considering russia is very not-communist anymore.

still sucks since many of the largest communities around things like linux are on .ml

[–] Midnight@slrpnk.net 34 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] Franklin@lemm.ee -5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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 defended 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

[–] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

Ah, but it's never happened to me, personally, so there's no way that's true!

That's how you sound.

[–] PlasmaDistortion@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago

Really? It’s everywhere over there.

[–] quatschkopf34@feddit.de 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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.

[–] XEAL@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Ahhh, the Reddit way

[–] Sailing7@lemmy.ml 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

For real now?

I dont want to have to search all the communities that I subscribed to again.

Does anybody know if there is an easy way to bring your subscribtions with you when opening an account on a new instance?

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 me. Ezpz.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

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, e.g i cant see any of my lemmy.ml bans on lemmy.one. 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.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

People have talked about a modlog but I had no idea what they meant

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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).

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

but don’t really see what’s wrong with the comment other than it goes against the political grain of the community (world news).

thats how it do be these days, unfortunately

you'll never get more explanation than that

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 9 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

I'm going to be real with you bro. I've come across posts and comments from you before and without reading anything you've said here I can guarantee it's because you had nonsense or uninformed takes on something a mod cared a lot about. Probably global affairs or communism.

[–] GrayBackgroundMusic@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

No comment on the topic, just your name made me chuckle.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 2 points 11 months ago

I should be allowed to post my nonsense and uninformed takes however I please and get ridiculed by the community for it, not outright quiet-banned by mods just because they didn't like me

[–] 1984@lemmy.today -1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Good thing there are hundreds of other instances. This a solved problem with Lemmy.

No need to even complain about it. You have choice here.

The largest instances are going to be like reddit, yes.

[–] empireOfLove@lemmy.one 3 points 11 months ago

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

[–] pudcollar@lemmy.ml -3 points 11 months ago

Thanks, Lemmy.ml mods.
