Banned over fish joke (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by JayDee@lemmy.sdf.org to c/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

~~I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, which is a more reasonable ban~~. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.


So it seems i've gotten a month-long ban in..... over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.

Screen cap of comment for posterity:

It's directly replying to a comment saying they can't imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it's satirizing people's mental gymnastics about fishes' pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.

It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.

That is golden 😂

[-] DaddleDew@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Wow, they're just blatantly banning people who said something they disagree with now.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Stay away from the vegan comms until you learn how to engage the topic in good faith

Lol ok powermod. PTB. Doubly so for banning over a comment on a totally seperate instance & community.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

It's a vegan community. If I see users who are anti-vegan I don't want them on my community.

Some people go out of their way to antagonize the users on blahaj.zone or !womensStuff@lazysoci.al defending their poor actions saying "Well its on all feed so I can make my unwelcomed comments and don't you dare force your comm rules on me" without reading your sidebar rules.

Cope, this was a mass ban for a fairly mild joke on a entirely different space and wasnt even touching your vegan community in the slightest.

They very clearly were not on the vegan com at the time of the comment so the example given is a false equivalency.

Petty reddit powermod behaviour.

You've only walked this back as well due to the mass backlash stemming from this post.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

Lets agree to disagree. Goodbye and have a nice day.

[-] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 49 points 3 months ago

No not really, I've seen you pulling shit like this for a while now and the sheer number of popular communities you control is frankly concerning.

This is exactly how we end up with a Lemmy version of awkward the turtle.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 months ago

I admitted I wrong, I reversed the ban, I explained why it happened. Please stop with the assuming the worst, when I just wanted to have communities where I can post on my liked instances. I dont understand why this fascination of assuming the worst.

Please leave me alone.

gestures vaguely to your moderation practices not just including this incident

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 months ago

The irony of posting here and even when you've "won" the argument continuing to harass someone is pretty funny.

[-] Hansae@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 3 months ago

No? I'm pointing out how shit like this actively damages the entire platform, hiding behind the "wehh ur harassing me" frankly just adds to that.

[-] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

You think harassment is funny?

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

I've noticed a trend lately of people lacking reading comprehension. I don't know if it's a generational thing, or just further proof that we're all getting dumber.

[-] dontbelievethis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

Maybe it has something to do with the dunning kruger effect.

[-] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

You clearly have bias here. "Anything to discredit women and vegans." The DB0 admins have acted against vegans before like banning an user for joking about dog meat satire from posting in a community off-instance. I told you to stop harassing me in only seeing the bad in others and continuing to engage when I told you to STOP. You have no right to be so arrogant as the majority crowd have been wrong before. You're not perfect nor I'm I.

[-] YarrMatey@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

You can reply with just the word "disengage" in our instance and the other person has to disengage or gets moderated.

[-] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 months ago

I'm not anti-vegan

[-] nsrxn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 months ago

I only engage in good faith.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.


Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules


Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
