You could easily make the call that I deserve this ban. But after Jordan lied about a user the other day, calling them transphobic to try and get trans people (and others) on his side as a cis white man, I just did not have the patience for him to start talking @ me about anything related to gender.
Not only that, but his reply in itself was a bit of* a powertrip in my opinion. I reported the bottom comment as “seems a bit attack helicopter-y?” mainly because that user seemed to have a posting history that indicated being a bit of an outrage merchant. I didn’t necessarily want the comment removed, more than anything I was hoping to ping @[email protected] to keep an eye on the user. It feels like his reply was a bit of “I’ve seen this, I don’t care and I’m going to show you that I don’t care by replying to you publicly without acknowledging your report privately”.
I’m also pretty sure I upset his feefees with my comment the other day here on [email protected] and he jumped at the opportunity to ban me from somewhere. Yeah, I baited that reaction but come on, a permanent ban on a first offence? Yeah, alright mate.
I didn’t even realise I was in a lemmy.world community, let alone one @[email protected] moderates (god one of the other mods is PugJesus) or I pawbably wouldn’t have participated. Going to have to go through all my lemmy.world comms now and unsubscribe I think. Can you imagine running a comm about the heinous nature of policing and then being so authoritarian?
Hmm good idea.

Subscribed! Though it would be nice if that space ends up being more heavily focussed on Aussie policing, as [email protected] definitely has a heavily US focus.
Considering I’m probably going to be 99.99% of the content posted, I’m sure it’ll have a strong aus slant!
What sort of content should be posted there, links to news, video of incidents, memes, all of the above?
Well, [email protected] absolutely feels like a more serious space with a centrist lean and I think the name reflects that. However, with a name like [email protected] I’d assume that it’s going to be a touch less serious and a lot more left-leaning. In that case, I think all of the above might be good? I would’ve loved a space to post news and videos related to the cops in Melbourne protecting alt-right counter-protestors and pepper-spraying the original protestors a few weeks back. I might still go post about that to help add some content since it’s brand new.
Additionally, as mentioned in another comment, I don’t have a tonne of spare energy because of my disability, but I’d love to contribute to moderation if that’s something you need. I mainly didn’t feel like I’d be doing a space justice if I were to create it, nor have the spoons to find moderators to contribute either.
