I'm a moderator, and I was abused
(lemmy.sdf.org)
I waited so long to come forward and tell my story because I didn't think anyone would believe me. But now I want people to know what happened to me, because if knowing what happened to me could prevent it happening to them, then I want them to know.
English grammar. You can abbreviate a wooden log with a chainsaw, but you can't abbreviate a word grammatically by cutting off the beginning of it.
y ad! (That's my bad, but I abbreviated it!)
Abbreviate is a synonym of shorten so your creating a difference where no difference stands. At least I, as a non English speaker, don't see the difference so either the rule is badly written (since I can't understand it) or makes no sense at all. In both cases the rule and the mod applying it are not working towards a betterment of the instance.
So why is this being implemented?
I have no idea about that. I was personally talking about something else completely, which I was wrong about and have apologized for, but since the other person removed the context, it's a little confusing now.
Like I said in a different comment, I too am banned from r/news. Fortunately I can still see the posts. I just can't engage with them.
This story is a clusterfuck and it's not helpful in developing a better environment here on lemmy.
I'm sorry for your ban, I hope lemmy will federate a better news instance and that we could have meaningful discussions about actual topics and not the satire about a power hungry mod and his community.
Best of luck brother, keep lemmy great!!
