before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com

i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:

and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you'll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.

it was less than 2 hours. it's almost not worth discussing.

but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planned and under the terms which i agreed.

db0 has said he doesn't want to be the benevolent dictator for life, and has specifically both recused himself from ruling on my conduct and encouraged me to post here and in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com (though i'm still holding off on that for now).

so, did i deserve it? power tripping bastard? what do you think?

kamala Harris, as a da, locked people up and refused parole to keep them as slaves fighting fires.

mod says it's misinfo (probably without fact checking) and removes the comment

update:

idk how I was doing mod abuse

i unironically love this song and wish it weren't such a biting parody of me.

sick of moderation on some of the bigger instances and communities, I thought we could try hosting here, where I of course will only ever make the most correct moderation decisions.

everyone have a good laugh?

I’ll add mods but not yet. I’ll clarify rules as it becomes necessary.

I will remain the bdfl until db0 decides my incompetence is a detriment to his instance.

also looking to add some more current affairs type communities, but i think i'm rate-limited or something. if someone else wants to go ahead and make em, i'm interested!
