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

Power tripping bastard for sure, banning someone for misspelling words? If anything that makes him look like a troll, not the OP.

Because it's clearly normal for your typography and patience to improve when you're pissed off

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.

Pallastinian:

I was banned from c/politics by that same mod because of bullshit reasons too. They're a petty tyrant who can't handle anything that might disrupt their echo chamber.

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.

wtf is it with lemmy world mods. you think this is reddit? do you want your instance to be an echo champer or want users to just leave and join another?

I have said it multiple times (many times removed) but Jordanlund and Flyingsquid are Jewish Supremacists that are pro-Israel in everything but name. They will show up to anything remotely Israel to defend Israel while saying they aren’t for Israel.

Not surprised, Jordan is one of the fucking worst. If not number one at least number two worst mod on all of Lemmy.

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.

Are we really bringing back the "Ban you for coughing" nonsense from Reddit?

As usual, for alternative communities

• !globalnews@lemmy.zip
• !world@quokk.au

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?

I feel like if you're still participating in politics@LW, that's on you at this point.

I got banned by him once because I pointed out, in rather colorful language, that a personal attack isn’t an ad hominem if it’s not directly used to refute an argument.

What a smug shit.

There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and internet moderators being power tripping cucks.
