11 year old account deleted today. Final straw.
11 year old account deleted today. Final straw.
Was banned from the sinusitis subreddit for telling (apparently a mod) that a deviated septum absolutely can cause a sinus infection. He got upset and banned me- and even denied my ability to respond to the ban.
Petty? Maybe. But that’s the final straw for me. I just finished deleting all posts and then the account. So sick of arrogant toxic mods.
I got banned from r/soapmaking because I didn't agree that buying soap that someone else made, melting it, adding perfume and glitter, and pouring it into moulds was soap making and not arts and crafts. I raise the pigs, render the lard, and make actual soap. I was called arrogant.
I was banned from r/republican for pointing out that the headline of an article that said that the DOJ had found evidence of widespread voter fraud in Georgia was incorrect and based on a letter written by a Trumpist political hack, Jeffery Clark, not the DOJ and that it in fact contradicted the DOJ, the Republican AG, the Republican Governor of Georgia, the Republican Secretary of State of Georgia, and Republican election officials in Georgia. I was called a troll.
I was banned from r/canada for wondering out loud if the neo-fascist premiere of Alberta who made unethical phone calls to Justice officials about a hateful street pastor charged with repeatedly breaking covid rules then having a secret recording of a phone call with the accused released wherein she fawned over him and promised that she was doing everything she could to help him would pay him conjugal visits in prison once he had been sentenced.
I was banned from r/freedomconvoy2022 when I pointed out that they had exercised their Section 6 rights to travel freely across provincial borders while exercising their Section 7 right to be unvaccinated to exercise their Section 2 rights to assemble in downtown Ottawa to hold their giant racist, western separatist, Nazi, fascis, white nationalist, sovereign citizen, anti-science, resident harassing, air pouring, business closing, hourly wage employee unemploying, street shitting tantrum.
Don't speak truth into echo bunkers.
You do good work.
I raise the pigs, render the lard, and make actual soap. I was called arrogant.
This is totally unrelated, but how do you get rid of the smell? I love my lard soap (using store-bought lard) but it always has a very porky smell.
That's the neat part. You don't.
The the neo-nazis volunteered to moderate.
SMH
That's great but don't fall under the impression that those same people aren't here on Lemmy
True, but if someone were to be banned in one community they can always join and make comments in another similar Lemmy community (or similar magazine on kbin). If they get banned on one instance, they cam join another instance. The Fediverse makes it easy to still contribute even if one avenue is closed.
As far as I can tell, there hasn't been any moderator overreach on Lemmy/kbin. Maybe everyone is starting off on their best behavior. Or mods are aware that the atomized nature of the Fediverse means they have only so much power or influence. Also, it could just be the communities/magazines I'm in but there haven't been a lot of heated arguments.
People as a whole have been starting over and feeling out their place in things.
That may be so, but they can’t ban me across lemmy for using a different account and posting in the same community.
You can be banned here not only from a single "community" but also from entire instances, which the former would be comparable to a subreddit ban and the latter would be even worse.
In any case you can just spin up a new account on either.
I was banned from r/food for pointing out that a "homemade breakfast" posted by a user consisted of a frozen hash brown patty, fresh uncut fruit, a sausage link, and a toaster waffle, and I suggested that it seemed like low effort to call that meal "homemade".
Turns out I was wrong about the waffle, at least the user followed up with a picture of a waffle iron and claimed they made it themselves. Fair dinkum, I wasn't going to press the point.
A couple of days later I had a multi-paragraph screed from a mod where they went through my post history and complained about things I posted to other subreddits, like r/hotdog, and a permanent irrevocable ban.
I suppose there is room for interpretation in "homemade." I feel like if someone did the cooking themselves, then it qualifies. Store bought or only a microwave reheat would not qualify.
"Homemade" usually implies "made from scratch" rather than "warmed up inside the house." I'd consider a waffle made in a waffle iron as homemade, but not sure how said waffle ends up looking like an Eggo toaster one.
Congratulations
Welcome, nine years+ on the same platform before making the change.
So far? Lemmy over the alternative, hands down.
Yeah but it's not like that can't happen on Lemmy.
It can’t. I can create another account and post freely In that community if necessary. This mod blocked me from ever posting there under ANY account under threat of perma-ban Reddit-wide. And without any recourse. I cannot appeal-
All for proving a mod wrong.
There's really no way a reddit mod can know if you are ban evading on an alt. Only way is if you admit to it which they can then report to the admins.
Basically just don't admit to evading a ban and you would have been 100% fine from the mods.
This is all coming from somebody that's modded subreddits with millions of subscribers.
15 years, 150K comment karma, shadowbanned across reddit for no reason.
Imagine how fragile a mod can be to ban someone based on a scientific evidence 🙄
