Banned for misspelling Palestinian and making an argument the mod didn't like.
Banned for misspelling Palestinian and making an argument the mod didn't like.
This was in Lemmy world politics.
If you bring up anything remotely political you're absolutely going to get banned
I was banned from globalnews (or similar) for saying that killing civilians qwas bad even when Hamas did it. I was banned for being a 'genocide supporter'
And then I was banned from every single lemmy.ml community I was in (signal, fairphone, fdroid etc) for talking about the uyguhr genocide
So yeah, I should probably see this as a chance to quit social media completely and go touch grass
finally a space to diss on jordanlund bless 😭
i was banned by this mod for politely noting how certain comments lead to escalation of inappropriate behavior. i noted how by bantering with infringing accounts after comment removal, !world@lemmy.world mods actually increased the work they needed to do to remove abusive content and amplified toxic voices as a whole. i used no unkind language and really at the time i genuinely hoped for improvement to the quality of the community.
their response?
- permabanned
- for “mod abuse”
- one month after i made the post in question
don’t use !world@lemmy.world. their entire mod team is dedicated to just kind of fucking around in a sandbox with thousands of users, not to creating a space for genuine constructive world news engagement. preferably also just stop using lemmy.world when possible.
Lemmy.World mods are extremely Zionist and frequently ban users for saying anything remotely pro Palestinian or making a claim about Israel without evidence.
Saying 20.000 killed Palestinians were Hamas without evidence to justify the genocide however, is totally fine.
A very open Zionist "gedeliyah" got promoted to mod on their news community.
I feel the separation between staff and user has already been entrenched.
Looking at modlogs, at times the given reasons show to me at least that they, the mods, have grown tired and are now settling on getting rid of potential trouble rather than fixing it.
Experienced can also mean jaded and in that state of mind you no longer care about circumstances, you just want to get shit done so you'll be rid of another stress you don't want to deal with.
Mods also need a timeout. The volunteer excuse can only work for so long. A way has to be found to prevent them from feeling like they're in a deadend job where they're only greeted with hostility. We need a mod relaxation and decompression program.
So excluding people due to a potential: innocent mistake, minor lack of knowledge, language difference (as simple as UK vs US English, and or different spelling from a different language you might speak. Either way, if you look it up, the spelling you used is not uncommon, it's even used in some MSM reports and documentaries), learning and or one of many other disabilities, shit device.
And they say we create echo chambers when we want to get away from such bullshit.
jordanlund's modding is very questionable.
does he know how to mod or he is just doing based on his feelz?
Not surprised, Jordan is one of the fucking worst. If not number one at least number two worst mod on all of Lemmy.
As usual, for alternative communities
This might be the worst one I've seen on here.
Edit: Also, this is why trolling shouldn't be against the rules... it's way too subjective and always ends up getting abused by shitty mods. I get that people don't like trolling but it's better to be specific and ban the obnoxious things trolls do instead of trying to speculate about their state of mind.
It's a systematic problem. The large LW communities have a stranglehold that prevents new ones from taking hold.
For Lemmy to improve, there needs to be a very easy way to find new communities, particularly on different instances!
Currently there is no way to navigate communities on other instances without a direct keyword search, or by opening a private window to get the link directly from the other server as a logged off user. Clicking the 'Communities' link also needs to default to rising new communities, and not to existing communities.
There also needs to be a major change to the hot/active sorting algorithm to favor small communities with higher engagement % over large ones with higher net upvotes (lower engagement %). The top ten communities should be changing from month to month - otherwise large communities will only get further entrenched and moderation will only get worse.
This is a change that the devs would have to implement. Otherwise dbzer0 or lemmyzip or whatever other server that grows next will just eventually turn into LW and the same problem will repeat.
Does anyone know if these ideas have already been discussed in a closed pull request?
What a smug shit.
I feel like if you're still participating in politics@LW, that's on you at this point.
I was recently site wide banned for 30 days for something I said on LW so I blocked the entire instance. I wish this was just an LW issue but it feels like I have to walk carefully around glass. Ultimately what I said was wrong, but it's not a good look.
