I am really not surprised by PugJesus being a PTB.
PTB.
However, imo blocking him is a double-edged sword as he posts so prolifically you end up wiping out heaps of Lemmy content that normal people engage with, and Lemmy is fairly small.
He's made 11,942 (!) posts in 733 days. That's over 16 posts a day you drop by blocking him, I only looked on his main account. Didn't count his secondary db0.
Oh, wow, I literally just blocked pugjesus today because they've become so unhinged. El oh El
PTB
First person i blocked on lemmy because they don't believe in neopronouns. Which essentially means "I'll respect how you identify as long as i think it's a valid identity".
Basically I'm not surprised that they're still being a different flavor of dick
That thread is not evidence that PugJesus doesn’t believe in neopronouns. I don’t know what they believe but you’re deliberately misrepresenting what they said.
"I don't think this is real, I won't call you by that."
What is that if not misgendering?
That’s fair, yeah. I can see how it would be hurtful or dismissive. I can’t say I one hundred percent feel like it’s the same thing but at the end of the day, if respecting neopronouns that I don’t understand helps someone or just treats them with basic dignity, I’m always on board with that.
They would tell someone who is using fae neopronouns that fae arent real. Directly from the thread, here. So yes, they don't believe in neopronouns, or they only respect neopronouns they deem valid. This isn't a misrepresentation. It's just what they said
And constantly misgendered during the whole Drag situation.
Thanks, just blocked PugJesus. What a trash human being.
That's a bit too far imo. He's just a true blue liberal that can't handle the crumbling reality that is the incoming NWO and the revelation that American exceptionalism was always a lie.
true blue liberal
aka fascist.
In a shocking twist, B turns out to also be a PTB.
He still hasn't followed me back on wafrn so I vote PTB no context needed.
"censured by mods"?
He edited your comment to replace something with the text "censured by mods"?! He doesn't know that that's not how the word "censured" should be used?
What an absolute melt.
Just to make something clear, mods do not have the ability to edit comments of other users. Even admins would probably have to do a bit of technical hacking to do so.
That wasn't always the case in the early Lemmy days. There's a reason these folks stick to communities they created and control. They used to make ragebait posts, edit comments of other users to say unhinged genocidal shit, screenshot their edits and delete the thread. And then post that as evidence 'documenting genocide apologia'.
Now they just manipulate the modlog to not show the removed comments and make up reasons.
No, sorry for misunderstanding.
Mod (different mod to this one here) removed my comment (in which I was replying to PugJesus) criticising Isreaeli propaganda as "fucking lies".
That is discussed here https://lemmy.world/post/33328504
I then commented again (replying to PugJesus) and replaced word "fucking" with "censured by mods" to not give the mod any pretext to delete my comment again.
After that PugJesus banned me from completely unrelated community in revenge.
Edit: I now edited the comment you were referring to, to make it clear.
Ahhh, ok. Thanks for clarifying. I was genuinely confused.
It was me not being very clear, sorry mate. Glad it makes sense now.
Seems like you have a long history of getting banned for incivility.

Judging by some of your comments, like this one
If you put fifty children with Down's syndrome in a room there is going to be a lot of hugging.
and this one
You are such a pussy 🙄
and this one
Move your arse than and let other people to finish their shopping you antisocial twat.
I would have banned you too
Stands for "fucking". Original comment removed by a mod said "fucking lies".

Edit:
The_crotch before editing his post accused me of antisemitic rhetoric. The above was a reply to that.
Seems like you have a long history of getting banned for incivility.
what is this, .world?
PugJesus is apparently banned from this instance, so they are unable to defend themselves on this thread. They did talk about it in this comment chain for context.
Allegedly OP downvoted several posts from the community in question after having their comment removed and PugJesus banned them from that particular community in response. PugJesus pointed out that if it was an emotional overreaction to the comment, they could have just as easily mass-banned OP from the other communities they moderate instead of just that one. And while it's not relevant to this judgement, it does seem like OP's source citation agrees with PugJesus's "western propaganda" that there is evidence of sexual assault, but not enough to call it systematic.
So I guess a few questions for OP:
Did you downvote posts from that community?
If so, how many? And do you not consider that participation?
If not, can you think of a reason why PugJesus banned you from just that specific community?
And for clarification around the removed comment, it's not clear what you were calling lies/western propaganda. Did you mean just the BBC article that PugJesus linked, or also the NBC article cited by your source, or the central UN report discussed by them?
Also, let me know if I got something wrong about the chain of events leading up to this. It's tricky to jump between a bunch of links and keep it straight.
Ye Power Trippin' Bastards
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Posting Guidelines
All posts should follow this basic structure:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
