I was wondering if there were systems in place for users to report mods who are just ignoring the code of conduct and just abusing their power of moderator as a whole?
I’ve seen that we could get in touch via Mastodon, but I don’t have an account for that unfortunately and I was curious to know if there were other ways
You must log in or register to comment.
Some advice: plenty of your comment interaction seems politically driven. I’d suggest engaging less. Don’t fall into the trap of political and ideological debate with people and waste your days away changing no one’s mind, or at least the way you’re doing it.
I’m not surprised you got banned for your comments.
!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Also I would not recommend having an account on lemmy.ml if this is your concern, the moderators here are rather famous for doing this at the drop of a hat. I guess you could have your account on .ml and mostly interact with communities on other instances, but why?
Looking at the modlog, they picked up a 5 day ban from memes@lemmy.ml for a comment that pretty much directly attacks .ml as being “tankie”.
“Every now and then, the .ml side of this community comes through with these inaccurate tankle memes. You win some, you lose some I guess”
That’s the whole comment I wrote. If you are going to report it, at least do it correctly please.
Why are you going on an instance with lots of Marxists just to attack the userbase? Masochism? To try to pick up a ban so you can make a drama post like this?
Why indeed. I’d never create an account over there, I agree with you.
Sadly every user on Lemmy learned or will learn at their expense that interacting with most users from ml, hexbear and the likes, brings nothing positive on most occasions.
I had hoped that maybe something was done since last time I checked, but I guess I was wrong 😅
libs experiencing the horror of interacting with people outside their bubble will never stop being hilarious
Believe it or not, more people are Marxists than ever. Those instances aren’t going away any time soon.
Authoritarians gonna authoritarian.
Also, especially with young people, calling them out for bad behavior like this usually leads to them just doubling down on the bad behavior because they’ll feel that their honor is insulted by the criticism and so they have to reject it. Something like that. I definitely wouldn’t hold your breath for a change.
I posted here because it happened on lemmy.ml
But sadly, considering this is not the first time I’ve had the displeasure of interacting with your run of the mill, power tripping mod from ml, I won’t hold my breath waiting for their assistance I guess.
It sucks that such a large instance as no accountability though. I’d imagine it must sucks for new users having to learn on their own to be aware of the usual instances
Looking at the modlog, it’s a temp ban from memes. I wouldn’t sweat it.
As I wrote, this is not the first time I encountered such behavior. And while you might not care, I was curious to know if there were better solutions than just accepting these kind of things passively.
To me it is wrong for such prominent instances to always be the ones getting away with this type of behavior

I wasn’t going to mention it, but as it’s not your first time, (removed) is more specific than !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
Instances known for power tripping are getting less and less popular over time
Genuine question, why do you try to posture yourself as uninvolved in drama but regularly plug the anticommunist drama community specializing in out of context screen grabs run by a gamergate right-winger seemingly whenever relevant? It seems more like you’re trying to sow seeds of anticommunism without taking the blame for it.
The point isn’t that they received some wild type of “punishment” they can’t come back from. The point is that having what you’re allowed to say policed in this fashion is offensive to the vast majority of people, whatever mechanism “gentle” or not is being used to enforce the policing.
Moderation started out as a way to remove racism, spam and similar blatant abuse. Somehow, it’s grown to the point that people feel they have to hover over the shoulders of the commenters dictating what are the allowed and disallowed types of statements. Most people feel that if they think China has an oppressive government, they should be allowed to say it. And that if they think the US has an oppressive government, they should be allowed to say it. Lemmy.ml is a silly place because one of those statements is “allowed” and the other is not, which is absurd behavior that belongs better on a Fox News comment section or a US State Department web site than it does on the flagship instance of a supposedly FOSS-and-freedom friendly software project.
Both of those statements are allowed in .ml, you just can’t repeat us state department propaganda without extreme amounts of proof to back it up. There is a difference between: “I think China is authoritarian” and “oog boog look remember that genocide that the UN investigated and found wasn’t a genocide where all the ‘victims’ that were touted are now millionaires in other countries after selling a story the UN specifically found didn’t happen… It happened!!!1!1!!1”
And here we reach the crux of the matter.
If I think there’s been a genocide in Xinjiang, I should be able to say so. Someone else might think that’s objectively not true, and we can talk about it. That’s actually a really healthy thing, it is an exchange of ideas. Almost no one has a monopoly on understanding the world completely, and so it’s necessary to be able to talk it back and forth. Deciding that we’re going to delete one side of that conversation is good for no one.
I think the model that’s crept into the modern internet where discordant ideas are “enemy” ideas that everyone needs to be protected against, and there’s no point in talking with anyone you disagree with because all the two of you will do is attack each other, is poison.
I’m happy to hear what you have to say, maybe I am wrong about this instance. When did the UN say there wasn’t a genocide and all the victims are millionaires? If you link me to the report, I would like to read it.
Edit: Instead of pointing me to information so I can read for myself and upend my whole worldview, he chose to go back through my history downvoting a bunch of stuff including when I was talking about how to set up RSS feeds. Lol.
Uncritically spreading xenophobic propaganda will of course get you a tut-tut of some kind. As it should.
Can you link me to the UN report where they found there was no genocide, and the so-called victims were millionaires?
the only thing that sucks is having reddit radlibs like your self being toxic on here all the time
Just create one account per comment. Lemmy can’t anything as it was designed for the convenience of moderators.
Wwit until lemmy falls and hope the successor makes moderation a crowd effort and a subscriotion service
Ahh yes the “dessalines can be a cock because of the implications of there being nowhere else to go” defense.
Classic.
Enjoy your
