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?
Sure, but doesn’t that sword cut both ways? Presumably, people talk to each other about bad moderation experiences too. I mean, that’s what we’re currently doing right now.
People knowing about moderation issues are in the minority. Most people keep using whatever community they subscribed to at one point in time.
You still have people posting to https://lemmy.world/c/[email protected] , Lemmy.film has been down for two years
Fair point. The question on my mind is what can be done to change that. I freely admit that I don’t have any immediate suggestions.
This post is a good action : https://lemmy.zip/post/48675001?scrollToComments=true
Not sure if LW admins will follow up on this
That’s crazy. I get not immediately blocking local posting when the remote is down, plenty of instances have issues with uptime. But it’s wild that the software doesn’t have some sort of timeout that causes the local to block posting unless or until a proof of life message from the remote. Should be a choice for the local too, I know Blahaj would pawbably set it shorter because of our intolerance for poor moderation of transphobia, whereas somewhere like lemmy.world would definitely want it longer.
You end up in a echo chambers
