Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.

FYI It's not appropriate to use this comm to target a user who has not taken mod actions against you. Please edit your post accordingly. If you wish to report a user, you can do so using the normal channels. This comm is specifically for complaining about power tripping mods/admins.

However, if you feel mods have not taken appropriate action against a reported user, in your opinion, then you can complain about those mods here, preferably without identifying the user in question. In that case, please make sure you explain what mod actions you feel would be more appropriate, so we can have that discussion.

CLM. This is one of the dedicated anti-vegan trolls we have. Being a sea lion is fine on lemmy, libs care only about being "civil" during these discussions. Lemmy.world's incivility rule is used to silence people all the time. It's no surprise this behavior is still happening, we've had this same thing happen before. Yes it is annoying and off-putting to troll people and then report them. I would say that is being shitty to others, not very genuine / welcoming / cooperative/ authentic / considerate etc. I would love for vegans to feel more comfortable on lemmy and across the fediverse, but until people give a shit this will continue to happen. Hexbear is one of the only instances I know that will ban bad-faith carnists, yes one of the evil boogeymen of the fediverse is not afraid to take a stand. Meanwhile, most instances don't care what their users do during off-instance communities. Always check someone's modlog to see if they have previously been banned for this shit, I think you will find that they have been.

this troll shows up on every thread about veganism and actively encourages people to download the fucking burger king app of all things, honestly pathetic.

PTB. Remembering someone and linking back to an earlier conversation is hardly stalking or harassment, particularly if it's on a similar topic. It's natural to start recognizing the usernames of people that engage in the same spaces as you on a platform as small as Lemmy. And as you pointed out, they replied to your comment, so if anything it would have been them following you around. And while I could see people finding this argument annoying, it's certainly still civil. No one should have been subject to mod action here imo.

Pointing out that a person was an annoying shithead in a previous conversation about a related topic (and tries to do so again) shouldnt get you banned. But the way you worded it in the removed comment really makes it easy to misunderstand your intent. Did you try to talk about this with the mods before posting here? I think it could be genuine mistake / misunderstanding of the situation.
