The drama is related to a Science Fiction community mod and and admin. I don't know enough to write on it, so check there.
Edit: MFW I just wanted to make a meme but dragged all the drama here
Hate to break it to you but every site where people can talk to each other always comes with drama.

Fixed it.
Solid edit
This was a case of harassment from one user to another. That one is a developer of a successful app and the other is the moderator of a successful community has nothing to do with it. Izzy was asked on numerous occasions to stop derailing every conversation and stop targeting the user. You can not like something, you can be critical of something but at least try to be constructive. They were relentless. And when a warning was given by the admin they came back guns blazing, now also making accusations towards the admin team.
We have NO financial connection to Sync. We do not accept ANY money or other incentives from anyone exactly for this reason also, about how it might look if things go south.
Normally we don't talk about the bans in public because whatever we say people will twist the story make their own versions of it and run with it. So I posted what we had to say about that and locked the thread.
So finally I just want to say that it is unfortunate what happened but there were MANY occasions where Izzy was offered the chance to prevent this from happening. And as a moderator of a big community he has to be an example. Moderators should be held to a higher standard than normal users.
Edit: for another perspective, the other moderator from !sciencefiction@lemmy.world who left the community a while ago chimes in: https://lemmy.world/comment/3571751
Your responses to WhoRoger over on that thread doesn't give me much confidence that you're on the level, Antik.
Huh. I thought the name sounded familiar, went back and checked my history. Yep, he was trolling a sync thread and getting into arguments over ads a month ago. Some stupid take about better to have no free software than ad supported. Can't say I'm too surprised to hear this happened.
I moved my account from Lemmy.world to another instance for reasons, what's happening now?
According to the one comment I read from some mod or admin on the sci-fi community, one of the mods was starkly against some feature and supposedly would derail the conversation with criticisms every time it came up. They were kicked for 1 day and allegedly threw a fit, demanding repercussions and apologies, and crossed a line in their appeals, so they were permanently banned.
Don't know everything though, this is literally just one second or third hand perspective.
Edit: whoops didn't realize someone else already described it haha. Take a look further down the thread (or higher depending on how you have it sorted)
Same shit, different day it seems
Internet drama is fun. The problem is Reddit started the wrong kind of drama.
Reddit basically started an internet orgy at their house and after the party had long been started declared that they're the only ones allowed to cum.
That's good. It means the platform is growing :P
It's becoming a drop in replacement for reddit!
I would rather have a smaller, more serious community that allowed for meaningful conversations if it meant we could keep all the meaningless, distracting drama away. I don't want a 1:1 Reddit replacement. I want something that was better than Reddit.
I know, I was just making fun of reddit and people who want this to be like reddit
Apologies. It's hard to determine sarcasm these days lol
Npnp
Don't use lemmy world. Their are other options you know
I did not know this and I'm confused about how Lemmy works. What url is best?
There isn't one (that's a good thing). Choose a instance that is semi small and close to you or your interests. I found this website helpful: https://lemmyverse.net/
You should still be able to access the same content assuming it isn't blocked by the instance admin
What happend?
I'm kinda disappointed that there's nothing in !drama@lemmy.world about it.
They only seem to post about Reddit drama, not Fediverse drama. Maybe that should change.
I need to know as well
Hello there. Somehow, Star Wars memes have returned. It's not a trap, this is where the fun begins.

Oh hey some real SW content for a change (perhaps):

Our galactic citizens have requested more specific rules, so here are a few.
The general idea is, if you're looking here for rules, you're probably someone who doesn't need to have them spelled out. You're fine. But anyway:
This is a community for Star Wars memes. This means typically screenshots of Star Wars media with some text or context that's meant to be funny and/or thoughtful. All SW media is welcome: movies, games, comic books, fanart... Other kinds of content, like video links or meta memes (about this community, or Lemmy), are fine as well, just keep it on topic.
We are all friends here, and love (sometimes love to hate) Star Wars. Be nice to each other.
As fans of fictional media, we can be passionate. If you very strongly disagree with something or someone, take a deep breath before reacting. Anger leads to the dark side!
Everything in Star Wars has happened a long time ago, in a galaxy far away, and it's a rich universe of millions of words and millions of years of history. So current Earthly matters really shouldn't concern us here. In other words, leave politics, philosophies and convictions behind the door. This applies even if it's about something related to Star Wars.
Original content is preferred. Reposts are fine, just please limit to a maximum of 3 per day, per citizen. It is recommended, but not required, to mark original memes as (OC) and reposts as (repost).
Local mods are the Jedi council. They may take actions that are necessary to maintain peace and stability of the Republic, even beyond the rules outlined here. Follow their guidance.
Regular rules of the Lemmy.world instance apply.
