Mods of !news are now banning people for criticizing the MBFC bot?
I got banned earlier today with the message "rule 1", no other information about why, or which comment broke the rule. As far as I can tell it was this one, which just says "We want the bot gone. That’s it. It’s really that simple."
So I checked the modlog for other bans, and @aniki@lemmings.world was banned today as well, also just for "rule 1", probably either for the comment saying "a stupid bot writing useless bullshit" or "This is what you call "Not listening to criticism."", neither of which are an attack on any person.
(Also earlier today @MindTraveller@lemmy.ca was banned with the message "fuck off", which I'm pretty sure is not a reason to ban someone from a major community, but doesn't appear to be related to the MBFC bot.)
One more today, @stormesp@lemm.ee was banned, again just "rule 1", last comment being this one, again not an attack on any person.
So what's the deal here? I couldn't find any rules for mods on lemmy.world with a brief poke around, but are we letting mods run major communities like little fiefdoms, banning people for criticism?
You're viewing a single thread.
A .ml mod recently banned me from the entire instance after I complained about being called a "fucking idiot". I suspect they didn't like me saying China doesn't have a clean record on genocide.
The fediverse is great because it's not corporate, but you still have to deal with folks who put the hell into "Hell is other people."
You were banned from .ml for not being a tankie?
They got banned for being a shit head nothing else
Delightfully context-free assessment, thanks. I was the one being hurled abuse for giving what I thought was a fairly even handed opinion, so I said I'm not gonna argue in a somewhat sarcastic way.
Cool story. I thought everyone hated that other instances did that and it wouldn't be an issue on world?
It's not a game changer for me, but I like to cruise All and I do run across their posts wishing I could chime in. Usually just jokes or middlebrow irony, but it passes the time.
Finally looked, they banned you for calling the entire instance
fucking stupid
northing to do with genocide
You are, in fact, a fucking idiot
Sure, but you didn't need to make an alt to say that to me.
What does their sexual partner have to do with this?
Worst attempted bangers :(
