https://beehaw.org/comment/4197620 for context. OP was having a meltdown claiming solar panels are not worth it despite getting proven wrong multiple times. Then they just cherry picked the comment after which the mods finally had enough to claim the mods are the ones loving oil.
Beehaw is known for being way too heavy handed in moderation, though it hasn't been too much of a problem because they decided to defederate from the large instances, which really killed the majority of the network effect they originally had in the fediverse.
Honestly I'd just recommend staying away from them, they're not a bad instance but you will encounter and deal with a lot of petty shit like this in their communities.
I've never had a problem with Beehaw users, it's not like with Hexbear where people there are assholes who will attack you. Their only issue is the heavy-handed moderation, though my experience with Beehaw users has been few and far between, and that's not a coincidence, but rather a negative side effect of that heavy handed moderation, since Beehaw has defederated from the largest communities and over-zealously bans users from the instance. Which has the effect of isolating their community, and their users.
From what I remember a lot of people who were joining Beehaw in the earlier days of Lemmy ended up switching to lemmy.world, sh.itjust.works, or lemm.ee because they were missing out on all the content.
Do you mean instance bans or in lemmy.world communities? If it's community bans that's different since those are often not affiliated with the instance admins. Beehaw though has not community mods, everything is completely and tightly controlled by their admin team, which makes their transgressions so much worse and reflect on them as an instance, and not just one community, or one moderator.
The license is a copyleft license and I'm doing it because saw someone else doing it, thought it was a neat message (specifically the anti commercial part), and then added it to my comments.
You were having a whole ass meltdown claiming solar power isn't worth it without any proof while ignoring any counter proof and got put on timeout for it and now claim that it's because the mods love oil.
Is "cringe" actually against the rules!? If not, I'd demand the rest of the mod team try to defend that! But yeah, it's probably a better use of your time to just block the instance...
