That's quite extreme. PTB.
I meant to just ban them from the vegan community on db0. I will reverse this.
also not justifiable. your bans are ridiculous
How does someone accidentally ban people across multiple communities and instances? Is there a ban from everything I moderate button?
There's 2 ticks on the Tesseract menu when you want to ban an user from interacting with your community without directly looking for their comments and I accidentally hit the bottom option instead of the top one.
Take at that what you will.
I'll bet that's handy for taking care of spammers!
much appreciated, that makes more sense.
Sorry about that, I definitely ate the onion in that situation.
Hey, misunderstandings happen. I also jumped the gun a bit by posting in PTB first rather than contacting you directly first.
That makes more sense :D I withdraw my PTB for a BPR since it does seem you misunderstood their comment.
Y'know, concentrating power in the hands of a single person / group defeats the purpose of decentralisation.
I can understand if the damage is limited to communities within a single instance, but when a ban is so far-reaching - across so many instances - it makes me wonder what's the point of choosing Lemmy over, say, Reddit.
It's still the same problem again, just with different people in charge - like Bluesky vs Twitter.
Yeah, the problem of modreach is definitely not a solved problem. The other problem, of all discourse being directly controllable from on high by a profit-driven company, however, is solved by lemmy. I believe that was the original issue lemmy was meant to handle. And that problem does seem to be solved. We'll just have to handle the problem of public official reach the way we normally would.
The mod in common across all these servers is @Sunshine@lemmy.ca and her other alternate accounts on various servers.
Sunshine, if you see this, this is a pretty overkill response from you over what is a joke about the lengths people go to to lie to themselves. If you're thinking it was a bad joke still deserving a ban, at least diminish the sentence length down from a month to a few days instead. I will edit the post to communicate the lessened ban length.
It's OK Sunshine, JayDee's made out of styrofoam.
I'm sorry, but you're banned from every community I moderate now.
Yikes, a mass ban over multiple communities for that? PTB
The ban across multiple communities is not intentional. I just meant to ban them from !vegan@lemmy.dbzer0.com. I was not used to Tesseract's ui. But even that was definitely jumping the gun upon rereading the joke.
Why would you ban them from !vegan though, considering the comment was made in another community entirely? Even if we assume the comment was serious, you're basically saying the rules of the !vegan comm extend across the fediverse.
After the 'update' I'm still confused how that is even worth a 6 day ban from the vegan community.
They also walked that back a bit after.
Right but 6 days for that makes vegans look absolutely nuts.
Inb4 I'm banned for being anti vegan I'm literally 20 years vegan
Sunshine is absolutely nuts.
How do you know if someone is vegan? They’ll tell you.
Original joke. I mentioned it here because it is relevant. The mod in question power trips and lacks good judgment.
But thanks for that hams
Thanks. I’ll be here all week.
PTB, if you were banned from vegan Comms I wouldn't really care, but a joke getting you banned from multiple non related Comms over several instances? Now that is crazy
I thought i had a perm ban from them when i called them hypocrites for not caring for the feelings of vegetables. Saddly it was not

IMHO this mod is out of control
That is golden 😂
Wow, they're just blatantly banning people who said something they disagree with now.
Oh yeah ... that mod. Not the first time they did that, but this might be the pettiest one, yet.
PTB for sure.
Seems to be https://sh.itjust.works/u/Sunshine@lemmy.ca that's trigger happy.
I did see that. She is a pretty active mod it seems.
Well at least you got a great story to tell when people says the /s is unnecessary. :)
I honestly think substantial chunk of Lemmy mods are worse than these on Reddit. Just look at pro Israeli censorship on feddit or some ridiculous world mods actions.
Agreed, some mods are absolutely mental. Like, I recently got a two week ban from a news comm over an unsourced quote. The source of the quote in question?
The fucking comment I replied to! What, do they expect people to know to quote the user they replied to? I mean, that would require the comm to have posted rules instead of a PTB....
Ye Power Trippin' Bastards
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:
- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
- Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
- You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.
- If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.
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.

- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- YDM new - You Deserved More: The commenter thinks you got off too lightly.
