Please don't downvote posts in this comm because you think a ban was justified. That defeats the purpose of this comm.

Got muted/deleted from usa@lemmy.ml for not agreeing with the popular college-level narrative that 'Israel=Fascism' (I was suggesting the 'Israel shouldn't exist' approach is stupid and extreme) but mods left the other guy's totally not extremist comments up. Looked up one of the mods' history. Full of anti-west/pro-russia content....
sh.itjust.works
I can't figure out how to view my own reply comment anymore, but a /Ukraine user [commented this insanity](https://sh.itjust.works/comment/14412127) and I called them out — that cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid, and exactly what will trigger a nuclear war — and got massively downvoted for "enabling Russia". 90% of the user base agreed with "conquering" Russia, and thought previous mini incursions across the border are equivalent; proving that nukes are a forever bluff. The best part? After inspecting several of the mods and users comment histories I realized all seem to have nothing to do with Ukraine whatsoever, and appear to be young pro-war machine North American jarheads (or keyboard warrior wannabes), who sub to or mod numerous other military related communities.
Disclaimer: The issue here is not completely related to the bot presence, but more about the justification used. People would probably be less annoyed if the mods stated "this is our decision, and it is final", rather than to try to use admins as an excuse.

Hello I'm not a person who is affected by this community moderator but I'm posting on behalf of people who are, since they don't seem to know of this community yet. I attempted to reach some via DM but I'm not sure they'll respond. So I'm making this post since I feel this needs to be addressed. Recently I was made aware of a community that appeared randomly on Lemmy.world. It seems to be a troll community given the type of content, but the reason I'm posting about it here specifically is that this mod seems to be banning anyone who points this out or goes against his narrative. Furthermore he is only using the autoremove on ban function, not removing any content the users have posted, which I believe is deliberate in attempt to prevent the content from showing up under the modlog and revealing the hypocrisy. --------------------------------------- Some samples of comments: ::: spoiler Comment from: @glimse@lemmy.world >[Everything else you posted has been pretty cringe but what he fuck is up with this one, dude lol](https://lemmy.world/comment/12905938) ::: ::: spoiler comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world >[free software is SLOWING DOWN tech advancement??????? WHAT???????](https://lemmy.world/comment/12906008) ::: ::: spoiler comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world >[i genuinely do not understand your point](https://lemmy.world/comment/12905918) ::: ::: spoiler comment from: @the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world >First off, nice new community.

[Original comment link](https://lemmy.world/comment/12920144) ::: -------------------------------- All of these were retrieved from the API, even though they aren't included in the modlogs, I could've included more but it's kind of a time consuming process to look for them and retrieve them. Viewing removed comments is easier on Lemmy than it is on Reddit but it still isn't easy. What do you guys think, does this seem like power-tripping? Also does this person's content seem like blatant troll content?

Tl;dr: - these are old events, 9 months ago. - we have since then mostly moved on, but I still thought it could be interesting to document those in this community - the power trip was a single mod not wanting to discuss how a community should be run and banning people wanting to discuss it - the new communities we created following this power trip (!movies@lemm.ee and !showsandmovies@lemm.ee) are now more active than the initial one Hello everyone, I added the summary of the event in the tl;dr above. If you are here, you probably want to know the details of what happened. #### Starting point As you may remember, there used to be a movie focused instance called lemmy.film. Following its shutdown, a few users were looking for a new movies and TV shows community that would not be on Lemmy.world (if you want to know why some people are against overcentralization on Lemmy.world, you can have a look here: https://lemm.ee/post/30444527 and https://feddit.uk/post/18336398 ) While I was contacting the lemm.ee admins to become mod of the at the time abandoned movies@lemm.ee, another mod (I'll just call them "The mod" in this thread) created !moviesandtv@lemm.ee. We contacted the other people who were on the old lemmy.film communities and started posting. I posted a lot over there, if you sort by Old, you'll see a lot of my posts from back then: https://lemm.ee/c/moviesandtv?dataType=Post&sort=Old - https://files.catbox.moe/vrnv1t.png I was also trying to set up discussion threads as they were things who were missing on Lemmy at the time, and a lot of people were complaining about that - https://files.catbox.moe/75zkck.png I also started asking for a weekly thread "What have you been watching": https://lemm.ee/post/13386100 which was denied. It wasn't a big deal for me, I was mostly focused on growing the community, I assumed that we could revisit that topic later. That was on 31 October 2023. #### Success for the community 12 November, we celebrate our 300 subs: https://lemm.ee/post/14621123 17 November, I start a weekly thread: https://lemm.ee/post/15176837. 7 comments, reasonable success for a first. 26 November, I am appointed as mod: https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863, and start pinning the weekly threads. 4 December, I am removed as mod. I ask the mod to make me mod again (purely because it's easier to pin threads), they never answer. 10 December, I open another thread on how to handle movie discussions: https://lemm.ee/post/17546624 I let it go for 6 weeks, I keep posting, after all, this is more or less okay. By then, the community has around 1100 subscribers. #### The power trip 30 January, I open a thread to discuss with people in the community how they wanted to handle movie reviews: - https://lemm.ee/pictrs/image/dc0a56ca-bcca-466b-b351-8815c8ab34c9.png - https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863 The post get removed I open another thread "Are we not allowed to discuss the way this community is managed?" - https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/c1c8fa89-8cad-4914-aec0-c2c30ab70405.jpeg I get banned I use an alt to comment > Hello, As you banned my other account, I am now commenting with this one. I'm not going to comment on this that much, the modlog is public, people interested can have a look at make their own opinions. For history, the two removed posts: (screenshots) I guess we can just conclude that we disagree on how to manage this kind of communities, which is mostly fine, that's what Lemmy is about after all: freedom. I'll probably contact the people interested in review threads (and there seems to be a few, based on the removed threads and the 200 upvotes on the other post) and see it we can offer an alternative for people looking for a more structured community. Good luck Comments gets removed: https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863 The mod then posts how they want to address the community issues: https://lemm.ee/post/22459747 My alt gets banned. Please not that those are permabans. Up to this day, I am still banned on those two accounts from that community. #### The aftermath Let's be honest here, I was a bit annoyed. I had been actively posting to a community, helping building it from scratch from months, to get banned just for asking how we could manage this community better. I reached out to sunaurus, the lemm.ee main admin, who told me that he couldn't do anything, as his admin policy was to not interfere with mod decisions. It's a fair policy that I could understand (even though I was still annoyed). They made me mod of movies@lemm.ee, and I thought I would take it from there. I built !movies@lemm.ee with the same energy I had put in the previous community. I found other people who had seen the drama happening on the other side and wanted to join forces in building another community. I appointed all of them as mods, because why not. Over time, our community became more and more popular, and now has 2.97k monthly active users, while !moviesandtv@lemm.ee has 1.52k The mod had promised to add other mods to the community. They did for 4 months (https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863) but then removed them in June 2024. In the meantime, they also banned another user in April 2024 for similar reasons to the ones used for me: https://lemm.ee/post/30754133 They also removed the AMA we organized in May 2024 on !movies@lemm.ee (https://lemm.ee/post/31335226) because "Unvarified AMA not organized by this community - seems like spam" (https://lemm.ee/modlog/408863) More recently, we started a !showsandmovies@lemm.ee community, which now has 2.35k monthly active users. That's it.

Edit: **[@Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/Flatworm7591) Contacted the moderator who did it on my behalf who admitted that this was a mistake, he sends his apologies.** This incident though does highlight though the [need for ban notifications](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572) as well as the [need for a modmail system](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5110) to contact community and site moderators. I have left the post up with the original contents bellow as I feel it would be wrong to delete the post and rob people of the valuable information it contains, both in the post itself and in the comment section. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I messaged a mod from the community, not sure if that was the one who did it but this was weird. Not sure if it's power-tripping probably a mistake but it's certainly weird and seems like a knee jerk reaction since I didn't have activity in those last 10 days (I checked for votes too). Also no other bans in the modlog for "sock puppet account" so I don't even know why I would be singled out. Why would someone think I was a sock puppet account? Because I have multiple accounts on different instances? Really weird... Account is [@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/Draconic_NEO), I didn't post from that account since I try to keep each account on each separate instance (helps prevent accidental vote manipulation).
Also outs your report publicly, nice !

The "deepfake misinformation" post on the bottom is obvious humor https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hztDddn-iY Don't forget to simp for Genocide on Lemmy.World. Only criticize le Drumpf and Jizz Stein!
Context: comment on a [post](https://biglemmowski.win/comment/5467835) about Hezbollah leader being killed. This comment is not calling for violence. It is literally mocking those that think violence is a good idea as the dire consequences are the very subject at hand. Those mods clearly put zero effort into examining the context and simply prosecute on report alone. Either that or they themselves support some violence and abhor its criticism.

[X-post, and trying out this sub] It's also funny that rather than removing all of my comments, they just decided to remove those I referenced and one particular reply, meaning whoever they were they cared more about the narrative and making the conversation unintelligible so that in the framing that was left people could just fill in the gaps just based on the downvotes and the accusations. Like I said to some people and now extend to the mod, > I love how people like you are the flip side equal of Trump people warping reality to shit on it. Same bullshit, both sides aren't equal but people like you certainly resemble them closer. ITT, people who couldn't comprehend cult psychology (and given the inherent Stanford prison experiment abuse within it, any psychology) or even the inevitable conclusion of what they are claiming and accuse me for being ignorant of what I'm literally alluding to in the first comment. Even supposing that there was some legitimacy to the removals, it's telling how selective it was and where it wasn't. And literally labeling nuance "trolling" in a circlejerk meme reddit ... probably makes sense. But still, imagine being so fragile the huge number of downvotes could not do it for you. Some of you really want to divide society as much as MAGA does. My message didn't neatly fit into the circlejerk meme, so I guess I must be "trolling, or worse" - amazing. ---- I can also confirm, can't delete or edit the comments to provide context, but people can still vote on comments that have been removed. Huh, didn't think I'd find something like this reddit was so clearly better at. So now I guess I know why they decided to selectively remove comments and framed the thread into what has been left.
Freshly created and poorly named Lemmy.World community "Truth About Tim Waltz does not appreciate people posting the truth about Tim Walz. In a blatant attempt to whitewash the Genocide supporting VP candidate Tim Walz, the mods [remove posts](https://lemmy.world/post/19910568) and ban users mentioning that Tim Walz lied to pro-Palestinian supports about meeting them to discuss the Genocide and promptly cancelled the meeting at the last moment. 
Hello everyone, I hope this is the good place to ask this question, if not, mods, feel free to remove it. So as you may know, some LW mods on !world@lemmy.world and !politics@lemmy.world have been denying that the US government is supporting Israel in their attacks against Palestine. In summary, their stance is > That is NOT why Biden is sending arms to Israel. Biden is rightly sending arms to Israel for the "Iron Dome" protection from outside aggression. > Israel misappropriates that support for use in the genocide. That is NOT on Biden. That's on Bibi and the IDF. > Biden is not complicit in any genocide. Full stop. Never has been. For some detailed posts - https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/27598404 - https://lemmy.world/post/18857058 Disclaimer: - I live in Europe and am not a US citizen, so I might not know enough about the power split between the US President and other representative structures like the Senate and the House of Representatives. - Linkerbaan, the other of the posts above, is usually suspected to be a Trump supporter or a Russian troll. That may be true or not, and they tend to be quite aggressive in the way they convey their message, but they still seem to make a few points. **The US President impact on providing weapons to Israel** A few recent articles about the US President responsibility about providing the arms to Israel > Do you think that Kamala Harris is likely to agree with the calls for an arms embargo on Israel? > I do not think she will agree with those calling for an arms embargo on Israel. > For one thing, as vice president and before that as a senator, Kamala Harris has consistently supported providing U.S. military aid to Israel. This position is typical of most Democratic Party members, as well as most Republicans. > Opponents of U.S. military aid to Israel often argue that this help is solely a function of domestic politics and reflects the power of the pro-Israel lobby, particularly AIPAC. I think that this view is myopic and exaggerates the power of the pro-Israel lobby. It ignores the fact that the U.S. has its own economic and strategic reasons for supplying that military aid. It is a U.S. national interest, not simply a favor for Israel, and that’s why there is broad, bipartisan support for continuing this military aid. https://theconversation.com/us-is-unlikely-to-stop-giving-military-aid-to-israel-because-it-benefits-from-it-237290 > The Biden administration has been doing contortions to provide military support to Israel without reference to U.S. or international law. It paused a shipment of 2,000-pound bombs in May, citing concerns about civilian harm, and even admitted in a report to Congress that month that U.S. weapons had likely been used in ways inconsistent with the law. But the White House said it didn’t have enough evidence to prove that specific violations had occurred, which would have triggered a suspension of further weapons shipments. > The evidence the Biden administration says it doesn’t have is everywhere. Careful investigations by the United Nations and organizations like mine have been documenting and reporting alleged violations since hostilities started in October, including Israeli forces’ unlawful airstrikes, the use of starvation as a method of warfare and torture of Palestinian detainees. The International Court of Justice has called on Israel three times to open Gaza’s crossings for aid shipments. https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/09/10/debate-tip-candidates-theres-correct-answer-weapons-israel **The fear of Trump** The main argument usually used against people who point that the US President has an impact on the weapons supply to Israel is that - the Democrats are the lesser evil - Trump must not pass While it is generally admitted that indeed Trump was a bad president and should indeed not pass, why do people go all the way to deny the impact of the US President on that matter? Wouldn't it possible to both say that Kamala should pass, but at the same time condemn the actions of the US government on that matter? Genuinely curious, as in Europe is it quite established that the US government chooses to keep providing weapons to Israel. - https://www.rfi.fr/fr/moyen-orient/20240814-les-%C3%A9tats-unis-%C3%A9trillent-isra%C3%ABl-tout-en-approuvant-la-vente-de-20-milliards-de-dollars-d-armement - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67192779

  Sorry I'm a bit late to the party, but I was without home internet for a bit. If an admin can pull the deleted comment, please post it here for context. I don't see it on the modlog. I think I said something like "Tell me you have a Hexbear alt without telling me you have a Hexbear alt."

This one requires a bit of background.: Hexbears keep opening the_dunk_tank posts about our mods and our instance in violation of their own comm rules. That compels me to go in them and try to correct the bad faith disinformation being peddled about us. In [one such thread](https://hexbear.net/post/2484423) one commenter made a reply to me ending it with "disengage", which was a clear indication they didn't want to engage in discussion any more, which I respected.  Note that there's no indication of how disengagement works in any sidebars. And even their own Code of Conduct, merely states:  So it appeared to me this is how it works. Later in the thread, someone kept making bad faith replies and at some point I thought, "I'll just use this handy disengage rule to avoid being further provoked". So I did, at which point I was gleefully and summarily banned by the mod with the following comment, to which I couldn't respond anymore of course.  Now I knew already that plenty of hexbears had a grudge against me for rejecting "left unity", so they were just looking for an excuse to get rid of me, they finally found enough of a plausible gotcha and all they could think of for the reason was "liberal". Note that the first person "abusing the disengage rule" was never banned or affected in any way. Ultimately this led me to being banned from hexbear itself, but that's a post for another day. So what do you think? Am I "liberal "enough to deserve a ban for "abusing" an unwritten disengage rule. Power trippin' mod or nah?
Then removes the post itself for "misinfo". Suffice to say I think that the mod was just salty that I posted something that was not praising Russia, idfk what they were thinking. Link to OP: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/25545288 What do you think, is me telling a regular that they're not prescient, banworthy "chauvinism"? Power trippin' bastard or nah?
