I’ve been noticing this more and more in the modlogs, with it proven via the “creator” option in some instances’ modlogs that the people doing the bans were mods and not admins, and when I first joined Lemmy, one of the things that were held as a universal truth was that this absolutely could not happen.

OP is talking about the mod @frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world. She simultaneously banned a few accounts from her communities and I won't say I can blame her for not wanting to put up with a Kiwifarms troll with genocide denial and Nazi apologia in their post history. https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&modId=15038788

Leni/shinigamiookamiryuu and their alts (one of which, Jedikkeneus, is only 7 days old) tried to bait Frenchfryenjoyer into engaging with their community. I messaged her about this and she said she's going to not take the bait.

OP's question was asked very shortly after Frenchfryenjoyer banned them and their alts from her communities. OP might be another alt of Call Me Leni. The modlog looks suspicious. Modlog for OP's account

Now, yet another one of Leni's alts "PatrickStar" is requesting that another alt appoint them as a mod. https://lemm.ee/post/67572940/21488244

And how would you know what the OP is talking about? Especially considering you are wrong about the supposed alts (with one exception) and the viewpoints and intents of the people you claim to speak for.

I wasn't baiting anyone. It was an honest inquiry and could've at least been answered from afar if anyone was afraid of stepping up to do so. And I have a seven-day-old name, so what? Whatever number of days old it was, the complaint would just adapt to that number to fit the needs of the complainer.

Your reputation precedes you.

[-] Jedikkeneus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Does it precede your ability to answer the question without giving an irrelevant remark though?

Nothing changed, it was always possible, there might not have been the tooling, but it was always possible through the api.

Can it be done without any third party help?

[-] rikudou@lemmings.world 1 points 5 months ago

I don't think so, no. Though I'm not up-to-date on the latest Lemmy UI changes, so they might have added it. But as far as I'm aware, it can't be done without 3rd party tools.

its called cross-banning. reddit does this when problematic conservative subreddits have potential spammers and voters. but it also unilaterally bans innoncent users, which puts them in a vulnerable poisiton to be sitewide banned.
