This was in Lemmy world politics.
Power tripping bastard for sure, banning someone for misspelling words? If anything that makes him look like a troll, not the OP.
I swear I’ve seen this same situation some time ago including with the exact misspelling. Could be a coincidence, though.
EDIT: searching misspelling banned gives a comment by OP from 23 days ago (but the post is gone). I’m assuming what I remember seeing was probably this post before it was deleted and reposted.
Because it’s clearly normal for your typography and patience to improve when you’re pissed off
finally a space to diss on jordanlund bless 😭
i was banned by this mod for politely noting how certain comments lead to escalation of inappropriate behavior. i noted how by bantering with infringing accounts after comment removal, !world@lemmy.world mods actually increased the work they needed to do to remove abusive content and amplified toxic voices as a whole. i used no unkind language and really at the time i genuinely hoped for improvement to the quality of the community.
their response?
- permabanned
- for “mod abuse”
- one month after i made the post in question
don’t use !world@lemmy.world. their entire mod team is dedicated to just kind of fucking around in a sandbox with thousands of users, not to creating a space for genuine constructive world news engagement. preferably also just stop using lemmy.world when possible.
I am definitely considering switching from lemmy.world after the blatent censoring of posts and comments from large communities that happened the past few days.
Hello,
Could we then consider moving !index@lemmy.world elsewhere?
Yesterday when all this came out I immediately applied to my new instance and let me tell you- seeing all the content I was missing from the places world has defederated has been a blast!
Jordanlund is almost as big a piece of shit as LyingSquid.
“Against me? No. The differentiator I experience is because I’m male. I’ve had a lot of anti-male sentiment. I lost a job because of it. Because somebody didn’t like having talking to a guy. Such is life.”
This is some borderline incel bullshit here.
I’m sure there is nothing else to the ‘I lost my job because somebody didn’t like having to talk to a guy’ thing either.
If that’s actually him I’ll make that my profile picture and start posting in his subs more.
Wait, what? FlyingSquid seems fine. In the only drama I saw involving them, it seemed to me like they were in the right. I asked someone who was all heated up about what a POS they were for some details or examples, and literally all they could come up with was a single un-called for message FlyingSquid sent to one user months ago, which for a full-time moderator means they’re way ahead of the curve.
Edit: Maybe I should ask for examples, what did FlyingSquid do?
FlyingSquid has a tendency to threaten moderator action in response to arguments they’re heavily involved in, which often comes off as a last-ditch effort to ‘win’.
Well, that’s not ideal. Have they actually taken action on it, though? If it’s just getting heated in an argument, that definitely seems not as bad as handing out bans for misspelling “Palestinian” or talking about jury nullification.
I’ve seen FS straight up lie when banning people, making up excuses etc. For a period they even followed me around commenting on nearly everything I did trying to harass me until I called him out and the “coincidental” replies magically stopped.
FS is worse than JL from every interaction I’ve had with eirher. JL I can see having a bit of common sense and maturity.
They argue with users and ban them if they feel they’ve lost the discussion. They’re also incredibly quick to ban for “trolling” like a lot of le epik reddit mods turned .world superusers.
Guy never admits he’s wrong, ever. And I love the fact that he’s married with a kid and seems to be online 24/7.
Yeah, my interactions with FlyingSquid have been fine, but then again, I’ve never interacted with them in their mod role.
I’m against the genocide in Palestine, and sometimes comment that way.
From what I’ve seen FlyingSquid tends to be quite fair when moderating, doesn’t abuse the mod tools and is quite respectful and civil outside of the mod role. On occasion I’ve had disagreements and civil arguments with squid, and not once has the hammer been used as a conversation-ending argument.
Jordan however…
There’s a firmly held belief by a certain segment of the community that everyone on Lemmy is liberals who will ban you if you are anti-genocide. Everyone on Lemmy is anti-genocide. Complaining that it’s full of these liberals and pro-genocide people is just a way to do some aggrieved whining whenever someone is disagreeing with some total nonsense. “We need to hate on Biden because genocide” “Yes but Trump is ten times worse” “Oh I see, you’re one of those pro-genocide people trying to censor me” is roughly how it goes.
In my experience FlyingSquid tends to participate in the stupid and toxic aspects of the communities he’s policing but doesn’t stoop to abusing the power, certainly not to the extent of others I’ve seen. i.e. I think he could do more positive actions to build a good community but he doesn’t use as many negative actions to actively harm the community.
Lemmy.world is kinda lame in general though, especially when it comes to politics. Very narrow minded and like a bunch of piranhas when it comes to suppressing dissent. If you are easing into lemmy from Reddit you’ll feel right at home there.
They definitely will abuse it randomly. I know they’re going through lots of shit but damn they have a very hair trigger
Lemmy.World mods are extremely Zionist and frequently ban users for saying anything remotely pro Palestinian or making a claim about Israel without evidence.
Saying 20.000 killed Palestinians were Hamas without evidence to justify the genocide however, is totally fine.
A very open Zionist “gedeliyah” got promoted to mod on their news community.
Imagine being a regular person with no dog in this race personally and still going yeah, genocide seems good.
I just checked. It was two days ago, but the story about Amnesty International declaring it a genocide is still on the second page of results on !world@lemmy.world, and the very top story on !news@lemmy.world after a series of ones about the United shooting is about Israel killing an American family right after the US government told them where they were so they could avoid killing them.
If the lemmy.world mods are banning people for saying anything remotely pro-Palestinian, they must be busy with something else right now. Are you sure that someone wasn’t calling for Israeli civilians to be killed, or something, and got banned for that? Because that might seem similar, to someone with a particular type of mindset, but it’s not the same thing, and pretending it’s that first thing when it’s the second is dishonest.
He constantly brings up Hamas at every thread about Israel committing crimes and never condemns the IDF. The both sidesing is way too obvious.
Alright, found this post: https://lemmy.world/post/21895613
They fully admit it and say it’s okay they are one because it brings balance to the news mod team.
Again, is there a link?
I’m not pro or against them, but it’s generally easier to use links to posts or comments when discussing this kind of statements
I wish it would be true, maybe there wouldn’t be so many terrorist sympathizers on the biggest Lemmy instance in that case
