I’ve seen around 3 occasions of that this week, altho I have never seen anything like it before.

if I remember correctly they were:

  • smack talking a mod (FlyingSquid) for saying not to report the same comment twice, when they were different comments, and the report was spam
  • someone comparing .world with .ml in politics (as in there was a comment saying "this post will be overrun with .ml people, and then a comment going “but you are from .world”) (Maybe Im part of the problem? I have been called out for being a fascist because I questioned the “puching nazis” theme)
  • one more which I can’t remember.

Anyways, what is all that about? Are people really starting to hate on 50% of the lemmy population because of their instance?

    He is also very heavy handed. The entire admin team is (not necessarily a bad thing). I was banned from a community for reporting a comment that insulted me directly because they didn’t like a joke I made. The joke was a harmless word pun, the comment I reported called me an idiot. But I was the one banned. Resource? None, calling the mod chat to argue a community ban is discouraged and also an offense. My account could be banned just for pointing it out in this comment. But that’s just the way things are here. I had to block FS because he tended to argue in bad faith with me whenever I happened to comment in the same post as him.

      Flying Squid isn’t technically an admin. He just seems like he is because he mods too many communities.

      Oh yeh i got a lifetime ban and he banned another user for the same thing but 2 days.

      LyingSquid is the most biased unqualified person to be in a position of power. And he rages so often in the comments, you can tell he stews over shit to target people later.

          Yup, and I would gladly say for Israelis to get fucked again.

          Now go do a Zionist doing the same shit to Palestinians and see how lenient Squid is to them.

      He got angry when I corrected something; he saw it as a personal slight. Odd to me but so be it.
