Thanks for making this follow up post. It took me a few days, but I finally read it. Interesting that they put children's software with porn, however terrible the porn actually is.
Update:
This is glorious lol
This was commented on the post I made before it was removed.
Nintendo would release a HD Try Not To Cum and charge $80

lol i got 4 reports on your post before (just resolved them all) I'm guessing the mod saw all of those and mindlessly banned you, since it was far from spam or anything; literally just a single (valid) post.
You say valid but they tried to share a vice article. I think the ban was justified but the mod had to give a believable reason /s
~~just realized this was satire~~
Fuck, i didn't notice that. You deserved more OP, the mod went way too easy on your ass 😤 /s
The article was from when vice was ~~good~~ better.
Sounds like you triggered some kind of automation with that URL lol
I reported that post because the thumbnail was NSFW and the post was not marked as such.
I didn't notice the thumbnail until after I'd posted it, then I marked it.
PTB I guess, the nottheonion mods seem to be terrible. In fairness though, I saw the headline and also assumed it was porn spam.
I think this is more on Vice than on you, the article was fine, but they can't give titles like that if the thing is ever going to be posted anywhere other than on Vice's site in among with a bunch of other articles to give it social proof. It's like anti-clickbait.
Porn is definitely Not The Onion. What's their problem?
tbf, I doomscroll mastodon 'federated' and lemmy 'all' 24/7, and my mindbot skips or blocks the word, so automation and lack of 'due process' explain the ban.
Should be overturned, but shudda never happened. pita.
What can banning do , it takes no time to create new account same with other centralized social media
Then I get instance banned for ban evasion.
How they will find that you is you until they are storing the face id stuff
Rumor from the mods is that behavior is pretty recognizable. You have to be sort of identifiable in some way or other to attract mod attention, so in most cases it's pretty obvious when one account is doing one type of behavior, gets banned for it, and then a new account emerges that's doing the exact same behavior.
Situations are different of course, but I think especially for the more justified bans it's not as hard as it would seem like (even when IP address matching is not involved.)
I image that behaviour is recognisable because it's really obnoxious. Like tankies trying to convert you to their faith or straight up spamming.
It's pretty much impossible to tell if a person is legit or an account with a motive.
There's no invasive fingerprinting that's done. If you remake an account with a new email and IP then you're completely unknown.
Obviously, if you're doing the same gimmick it would be easy to pick you out, but if you legit wanted to make a new account to clear a ban there are not any moderation tools that will detect that.
Obviously, if you're doing the same gimmick it would be easy to pick you out
I think this is the issue. Lemmy isn't Reddit yet (although, give it time.) Most people who are copping bans at this stage are either (a) being insufferable in some fashion or other and refusing to stop (b) running afoul of lemmy.ml. I think in almost all cases of (a), what they are doing is returning exactly to form with the new account and then being all surprised that no one's throwing roses and cheering them on this time around.
Fbi type shit 😵
Man, I could not imagine it was this bad, this games. But thank you for posting this. Knowing that the porn games are mixed with children games is worrying. I need to see what kind of sites my daughter uses to play games. I have a bunch of safeguards at home, but if the site mixes stuff, I need to check.
It's most likely because the porn game website is just aggregate stealing games from other sites and throwing anything they can get on there.
It never hurts to keep an eye on what your kids are looking at and make sure the guardrails are still on, but remember the author had to go through a lot of hoops to get there. There's nothing here to suggest there are porn games secretly hiding among reputable sites for kid friendly games, just that these sites hosting porn games are shamelessly stealing games from other sites.
I don't think you understood the article... unless your daughter is frequenting pornhub?
I understood that he was sent to mygamevault (something that doesn’t scream porn to me) or something like that and when he sorted by most played/ranked, he saw normal/kid games. I understood the site contains all kind of games and, if it doesn’t filter by free/subscription, you can find porn games mixed with kid games. Am I missing something?
Nah, my bad
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.
