Something funny is going on at Lemm.ee. The admin is suddently ban hammer happy too.

That and all the mods removed from here is kinds strange.

Anyone have any word on what’s up and why the drastic changes in attitude and all of the sudden bans?

**EDIT: **Actually I think I found the reason: https://lemm.ee/post/55846636/18367529 (!meta@ lemm.ee “It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required”)

Lemm.ee is a bunch of new admins, so it’s not longer as friendly to differing opinions as it once was.

Which a bunch of Lemmy Democrats are gonna cheer and advertise about.

Probably a good idea for us to find a new conservative community.

Don’t let them silence you, guys. We should just move–not run away. Running away is what they want us to do.

EDIT: I’m not defending Nazi’s or Nazi salutes. I didn’t see the post and I haven’t seen any describe it other than “it was a Nazi salute!” Does anyone want to actually describe the post? What did it say? Was it a meme? Was it Musk? Was it a random pic?

    What makes you think I have only been on Lemmy for 8 days? You realize that some people have more than one username, correct?

      no one can magically know what other accounts you use

        Of course not. Nor which other accounts you use.

        Which is why I explained it to you. Lots of people on Lemmy have more than one account. So you can’t really judge based on an age of a user account unless they say they are new.

        I’ve been on lemmy for a little over a year.

            I’ve never said I haven’t changed accounts. I purge my accounts every few months for privacy.

            So I’m still not sure what point you are trying to make.

          so why are you now using a new account?

          Trolling? Ban evasion?

            I haven’t trolled and I haven’t evaded any bans.

            Lots of people have mulitple usernames on Lemmy. For me, it’s to protect my privacy and information from being all in one place. As are many others on here.

            In fact, in the privacy communities, they recommend purging your username and creating a new one every few months. And I agree with that. And I do. And I will continue to do so.

            Feel freel to check out the privacy communities and ask their thoughts on that subject.

              Thats fair enough. But also, dont get upset when people question how long youve been on the platform when literally the only information others have is when you current account was created

                I wasn’t upset. I was merely pointing out that you have to be careful of assumptions on a platform like Lemmy that is so decentralized and focused on privacy.

        I haven’t been banned from anywhere under any username I’ve used. I just explained why I change usernames ever few months… Where did I ever say or show that I’ve been banned?!

        Tho I DO expect to get banned a result of this conversation thread! lol

            I hope I don’t get banned. but I keep saying it because the attitude on Lemmy lately has been very ban-heavy to conservative views.

            Trust me, I’m more than happy to be wrong.

            But I also get called a “troll” on a daily basis, even tho I have not said anything trolling. So meh, it’s Lemmy, hard to tell what will happen.

            If I do get banned, I’ll just start another username though. I scrub my usernames every few months anyway, so no biggie.

                Calling someone a troll just because they have an opinion you don’t like is top Lemmy. Congrats.

                Name one “troll” think I’ve said or done.

                    If you don’t like Conservatives so much, why are you here?

                    I don’t mind Lemmy. But you all hating every fucking thing that doesn’t line up exactly with your beliefs is annoying.

                    For instance, you have been part of the crowed to call soemoen a “troll” just because yo don’t like them. But that’s not the correct use of it. A troll is someone who purposely posts or says things, just to get people mad.

                    I don’t do that. I have no history of doing that.

                    Your mad because I’m not a democrat and you think that now you have a target to take out your frustration on. Trump won. You were suprised. Then sad. Now pissed. So you found a “trumper” in the wild, and you think you can just fucking attack.

                    I’m not a Trumper. I like what he’s doing. But I don’t worship him at all and didn’t want him to run.

                    Should I call you a troll? I mean, you are saying stuff I don’t like. PLUS you are in a fucking conservative community, but you aren’t conservative. So doesn’t that make you more of a troll than me?
