Mod log

  1. Original comment that was deleted with reason of "Tankie apologia".
  2. When another user comments has suspicions of mods actions, Mod replies with this.
  3. Poster replies in exasperation explaining perspective, rationale, and offline experiences. Comment gets deleted and purged.

Explanation

The original comment I made was stating that alienation of someone by frustrating their political beliefs is not a way to convince them of anything.

That being their genuine friend goes a long way in helping someone rather then attacking them.

That together they both can work together for a better future.

That you can be annoyed, but that should be swallowed because that is what it means to be part of a community.

You will always be annoyed one way or another in a community, that is the beauty of a community, that there are different people that may annoy you slightly, but working together to still be a community.


The moderator disagrees with this, viewing it as "tankie apologia".

When I replied, explaining why I made my post and my background, My post was removed and I was banned from the community.

Thank you @db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com for reminding me on this missing context: https://lemmy.ml/comment/17251624

In my reply post, I wrote that "advocating for war on any country is not political flavoring".

That cannot be swallowed, and one should not befriend such a person without sufficient care for ones own wellbeing.

I had wrote explicitly thinking of people who suport Russia against Ukraine, Israel over Palestine, and Assadists etc.


My purged comment also states that "people seeking to punish / attack LGBTQIA+ people is not political flavoring".

I whole heartingly believe trans rights are human rights.

Free HRT and gender affirming care for all!


To remove an otherwise popular comment advocating for support what I feel are healthy behaviors, then name call someone as a "authoritarian" and a "tankie apologist" is disingenuous and corrupt to me.

Remedy

Personally I would like my comments restored so at least others see a different way of looking at things. I have no qualms with remaining banned.

Perhaps I should have not commented in reply to the mod, but they had already removed my post and I had little to lose.


Otherwise, I am very tired of this on the internet, I am tired of tribalism and the lack of empathy in this world.

What do you all think, should I have even made my original comment if I already knew it would be fruitless?

onehundredninetysix is a cess pool, it's not inclusive.

They are bullies and trolls that only seek to delegitamize lgbtq movements by excluding and gatekeeping who is allowed to exist in lgbtq spaces.

But tbh tankies need to stay in .ml , don't leave quarantine until you grow up.

Punching left is a mandatory requirement for being on 196. If you don't want to infight and purity test, you won't be welcome there. They're basically full on McCarthyists, peak Anarcho-Natoism rivaled only by NCD.

PTB this mod has also not even read their own sidebar!

Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.

Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback

Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.

Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.

First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

749 readers
52 users here now

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:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


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.
