Incase anyone tells you that lemmy.ml is not a tankie instance.

      People here complain about reddit mods being power tripping, but my experience on Lemmy has been equal if not worse. Ml and hexbear being obvious examples, but I’ve even gotten 7 or 30 days bans, with no warning, for stupid shit that I’ve seen plenty of other people do, in a news sub and aboringdystopia, obviously because the mod disagreed with my opinion, they were just using some minor violation of the rules to justify banning me.

        A lot of folk either have forgotten or never experienced self regulated communities that existed prior to social media.

        It is a culture shock to see disagreeable or stupud takes instead of them being removed from their sight and feeds without engagement or even knowledge.

        The difference is that the mods in many cases also run the instance. If anything that could be worse for power tripping!

        But you can always remove those instances from your Lemmy experience. Not always a great option if there’s only one good community for something (e.g. news), but supposedly people who agree with you do the same and make a new community. Given nothing can last forever and even your own instance can grow terrible with time (as Reddit subs sometimes did), it’s nice to be able to hedge your bets.

        Example, nothing of value was lost defederating from hexbear.

          Dessalines literally changed how mod log reports work (to not show who took the action or if it was an admin) early on because it was a bad look that he was censoring and banning so many users over very mild perceived slights. The dude is clearly off his rock at this point, ironically showing exactly what Marxist-Leninists do with even a tiny bit of trivial power.

          One time I posted a meme on a Blahaj community I moderated where someone named Obvious_Troll@hexbear.net was being transphobic. Ada, the instance owner, private messaged me to say I needed to redact the username or my post would be removed. She said Obvious_Troll is a real, trans Lemmy user and I’m not to attack them. There is no user called Obvious_Troll, I made that username up for the meme. Ada defended a fictional transphobic troll because they were from Hexbear.

          Lemmy has a serious admin problem.

            I think Ada is afraid of ever hurting a trans person, like by excluding them from their community, even though their job is to moderate users on the trans instance.

        Mods have removed my comments for dumbest shit.

        Edit:

        https://lemmy.world/comment/12050823

        My removed response:

        I’ve never bought any Apple product, you triggered ball of catpuke. I’m just pissed at Android manufacturers copying Apple without offering any pros of iPhone. 5 year old iPhone still updates to latest iOS. Good luck trying to do that with 5 year old Android. Keep raging at the mere mention of Apple though. Sounds like a wonderful existence.

              You can’t tell the difference in alluding to someone being gullible and calling someone a triggered cat puke? One is a comment on your behavior (swallowing marketing) and the other is a direct insult. One might be a personal attack, the other one definitely is. Just be kind.

                I’ve never even once bought any Apple product ever. I’ve been using Android since last 12 years. So yeah, when I have a legitimate complaint about the direction Android is going in and this is the response I get to it:

                It never ceases to amaze me how iPhone users think… But hey, keep on swallowing that Apple marketing wholesale though.

                Then fuck that asshat and if you think his reply was justified then fuck you too.

                  Save the hostility for the tankies. Or at least take it somewhere other than here. We’re here to hate red fash.

          I mean this is a stupid take but if I were a mod I’d leave it up (for everyone to see).

      I think I was banned from some communities there but I don’t remember which ones and haven’t missed them. I’m probably better off.
