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.

Rules

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.


Some acronyms you might see.

So can a dbzer0 admin ban someone from a lemmy.vg community? Seems weird to me

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

apparently so. I suspect what happens is that the admin can only ban people for their own instance, so our instance will treat this user as banned, even if they can otherwise post. If it's out own user, that instance won't be able to see their posts in their community, but if it's a user from another instance, I suspect that only our instance user's won't see their posts in that community.

Strange that it works this way (don't blame me, I didn't build this software) but I guess this has some uses.

Correct, I suppose the ban button could be hidden from the ui in that case.

honestly, we really just need a separation between "report to mod" and "report to mod & admins" or smt.

Also need an option to report to only admins, since mods which are abusive can just dismiss every report. Possibly even abuse the reporter. It happened to me earlier when someone created a community to harass me and pinged me on every post.

Being able to bypass mods is crucial in situations like that.

Interesting, thanks
