A safe space to report and discuss the daily abuses of power that occur on the Lemmy.
For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.
They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.
They could not in fact get over it, dude.
They must feel very strongly about the word dude. I'm in your camp on it. It's an exclamation, nothing more 🤷
Wow, somebody that day was salty, and pretty much just looking for a comment to get mad about.
There's another FOSS project idea: a bot that detects Lemmy bans and sends you a notification about it.
Another idea, take the mod log and allow voting on mod actions in a way that makes unpopular ones more visible. Give the users tools to evaluate moderators and admins to speed up the process of removing bad mods or users discovering they shouldn't bother with an instance with bad admins. Or, with a different sorting method, it could highlight mods that aren't power tripping losers.
Maybe a similar system for reporting, since it wouldn't surprise me if some mods feel like they need to act because of pressure from losers who power trip with the report button. You know, the kind that feels the need to inform people they've been reported.
well you could just make a lemmy community about spurious bans and people could vote on it, and you could tag them in the comments somewhere….

I love it.
Cheka: Cheka if you're banned or your content is removed.
I got banned from lemmy.world/c/linuxsucks, which is one person's mental illness, so who cares? Doesn't stop me from calling them an idiot when they show up elsewhere.
Never heard linuxsucks be described more accurately.
That user showed up in the thread warning about someone spreading fud about Wikipedia to attack OP. Safe to say, whoever they are, they have multiple accounts for their obsessions.
who cares. some of these communities are trash who don't allow you to participate if you don't align with their views. no different than reddit.
OP's complaint is that he was not aware of the ban so he was commenting into nothing.
This is really software issue, they can ban him, and he can block them back. No problem at all.
The issue is that these servers are blocking new people and they might get pissed about not knowing it. This is UX issue for fediverse.
On top of it, these bans are arbitrary and capricious for the most part, so again, this will piss anyone who does know how fediverse works.
We got 50k AMU, with too many mods with nothing to do, so they find busy work.
fair but I've been banned because I didn't follow the flow of the political narrative of the conversation. I don't consider myself squarely in one camp so I read, understand, and comment/criticize what I feel I want to engage with. I will admit i was auto banned from one instance and got no response from anyone, so I can relate to what your comment is getting at.
