And apparently, also when you think that ‘They’ is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you’re leaving.

Aw, bestie! That’s not how the Lemmy works. You made people uncomfortable, and they reported you for your content, either for what it invited or for what it was on its face. That’s how this works! You do what someone sees as damage to the community, you get reported, Ada sees your comment. If you were truly minsundatood that badly, maybe work on using nicer words. :)

So now it’s not “I told Ada how to run her instance”, it’s “My comment was reported”, glad to see we’re moving goalposts at lightning speed. Jesus H. Christ. Are you going to actually present any argument you’re willing to stand by, or just jump from point to unrelated point in the hopes of making yourself feel like you defended the tribe sufficiently?

If you were truly minsundatood that badly, maybe work on using nicer words. :)

Did you not fucking read the OP? Holy fucking shit. I didn’t realize saying “I guess Blahaj is now added to the list of instances I avoid when possible. Unfortunate.” was such an aggressive crime in your eyes.

Oh, wait, of course I did, anything that’s not total agreement and bootlicking of your online community of choice is an attack against the basic dignity of everyone therein. I forgot I was back on Tumblr.

You: “Wow fuck yall what a persecution narrative this is literally reason for me to leave.”

Again, demonstrating a below average reading comprehension.

Continuing from your summary:

Spujb: “That totally makes sense here too.”

Me, on a different comm, nowhere near Ada: “Okay, I get it, but this place isn’t for me anymore, I’m going to leave."

Ada: [removes comments for ‘gatekeeping’ as noted in the OP]

Me: “Well, I’m leaving, but this removal is kind of dogshit, I’m going to bitch about it on a comm for bitching about moderator actions.” [as it appears in the OP]

Numerous Blahaj Defenders: “You’re transphobic if you question whether dragonfucker is a gender.”

Me: “Wow, now I feel glad that I left Blahaj instead of sad.”

Spujb: “You shouldn’t feel entitled to tell Ada what to do!”

Me: “Where did you get the idea I told Ada what to do, I literally didn’t and I can outline all of my relevant actions; none of them come close and you know damn well you can’t cite any that involve me telling Ada what to do, even in a vague way, because I never did anything fucking close to that.”

Spujb: “You feel entitled to tell Ada what to do!”

Me: “What the fuck is this, some kind of persecution complex?”

This is not complex. I should not have had to repeat that fucking conversation to anyone over the age of eight, yet here we fucking are.

At no point have you engaged with reality here. You just have some sort of desired narrative that you want to cling to, and so you cling to it in the face of all evidence to the contrary. Hell, in the very post I just responded to you accused my posts of being removed for not being worded ‘nice enough’, which doesn’t even vaguely fit the removals cited in the literal OP. I’m not sure if you can’t read it, didn’t read it, or are just too attached to your narrative to read it, but in any case, it’s really rather pathetic, and quite in-line with what I’ve come to expect of you. Well-intentioned (in the sense of ‘desiring a gentle resolution’), but with very little understanding or capability of parsing arguments that don’t fit your axioms. The axiom you’re using here being, of course, “The community I like is always right and I will always defend them regardless of the facts 😊”

In the course of this argument, you have ignored evidence provided entirely, deliberately cut off already very-short statements in order to provide an interpretation literally and directly contrary to its explicitly stated details, ignored contradictions when pointed out, and moved goalposts, and yet at no point do you appear to have anything even vaguely resembling self-awareness on any of it. This is either incredibly bad faith on your part, or an incredibly low level of competence, and in either case, you’ve done nothing but waste time with your disingenuous arguments and outright falsehoods.

Oh, and no, doing so with a ‘nice tone’ does not change any of that.

You created a space primed for harrassment, dude. Intentionally or not. You’ve seen the descent into bigotry comments sections like those go to? You made a live drama trap for more of the exact behavior admins have the unique goal of fighting to combat. You might as well have titled your sadpost “Hey guys, here’s a space to do the harrassment this entire community is designed around avoiding also I’m leaving.”

The mods aren’t obligated to host open honeypots like that, especially not from users self-admittedly on the way out. If it wasn’t intentional, I hope this helps clears things up! Cuz wow.

The fucking post wasn’t removed. The actual post was never fucking removed. Holy shit. Only a few of my comments were removed, for spurious reasons. Quite clearly it’s not “The comment section was going to get bad!”, it was “Admin’s feelings were hurt by critical comments that did not harass anyone, whereas the supposedly harassment-inviting post was left up”.

You might as well have titled your sadpost “Hey guys, here’s a space to do the harrassment this entire community is designed around avoiding also I’m leaving.”

Oh, is that what “I don’t agree with this mod decision so I’m leaving” translates to to you?

What a bootlicking attitude.

The mods aren’t obligated to host open honeypots like that, especially not from users self-admittedly on the way out. If it wasn’t intentional, I hope this helps clears things up! Cuz wow.

Again, what you claim is the motivation flies directly in the face of the actual facts of the situation; namely, that the post itself wasn’t removed. Individual comments of mine were removed for spurious reasons. The post itself, the thing you claim is the motivation, the ‘honeypot’ that you think will in some way create harassment and the admins had to react to, was left up, and IS STILL UP, FOR FUCK’S SAKE.

Given that, it is quite clearly isn’t the reason, but it’s equally clear that you have no actual interest in what’s happening. I’m sure you’ll move the goalposts, ignore this point entirely, or just outright make shit up, just like you have at every other step in this argument.

Ye Power Trippin' Bastards

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Create post

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

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
  • Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
  • Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
  • Don’t use private communications to prove your point. We can’t verify them and they can be faked easily.
  • Don’t deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
  • Don’t harass mods or brigade comms. Don’t word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
  • Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
  • You can post about power trippin’ in any social media, not just lemmy. Feel free to post about reddit or a forum etc.

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.

  • PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
  • YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
  • BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
  • CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn’t understand how their software works.
