I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:

Content Warning

Graphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.

While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.

Yeah, admins can purge stuff from the mod log. That comment seems to be completely gone.

that comment specifically was a link to a graphic image, so yes the admins certainly purged that. cc @Deceptichum@quokk.au

People over at .world def purged stuff from mod log regarding me. Granted I wasn’t suicidal, so not very important, but they still purged some stuff. They definitely wanted to paint a particular narrative of me.

They say they banned me for abusive PM’s. But I haven’t seen any evidence of those PM’s or what they considered “abusive.” Even after I asked them to publish these “abusive emails” for everyone to see.

So yeah, they definitely can make up shit on their own over there.

Having said that, sounds like both people involved in this interchange need help. Why the fuck do people take shit on Lemmy so seriously?!

Some things are true whether you believe them or not.

If you ever find proof of “harassing” DM’s that I sent, please post for us all to see. Because that was the supposed reason for my banning and when I ask about it, all I get is “That’s private, we don’t share private information.”

Seems easy enough to block out the “private” part and show screencaps of what I said that would be deemed “harassing.” tho.

Face it, the reason I was banned was because people thought I was a troll because I didn’t vote for the Biden/Harris train and voted socialist. Now it’s ok to bitch about Biden/Harris. And in fact, lots do now. But 3 months ago, it was viewed differently.

Feel free to take a look: https://lemmyusa.com/post/sh.itjust.works/26969318

Still proud of what I did and what I said. And very very happy that I didn’t vote for Harris in the election. :)

And the banning did nothing, I just switched to better and less censorship-happy instances. So all good.

And people are still trying to ban me from other instances. LMAO But it didn’t work: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252

Thanks, friend! Proof that people are still trying as of just last week:

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.

Posting Guidelines

All posts should follow this basic structure:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Rules

  • Post only about bans or other sanctions that you have received from a mod or admin.
  • 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.
  • If you are the accused PTB, while you are welcome to respond, please do so within the relevant post.

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.

YTPB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.

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.
