I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all

    I defended @[email protected] when a comment of theirs was reported.

    I was just given context on this. Looking at their comments in that light, I have decided to ban them from [email protected] for all their bad faith arguments. Banning people for “bad faith” voting is bullshit. Coming here to defend that horrible action will not be tolerated.

      Thank you and good riddance to @[email protected], when you look at the amount of subs she is modding, it’s quite worrying. It makes me wonder if she does anything else with her time.

    We all know it’s the vegan community. I got banned for simply voting on comments.

    Now they’re also spamming posts to fill up everyone’s feeds.

      Same here lmfao, the utter sensitivity.

      Edit: Also, it’s mostly that one power-mod spamming vitriolic posts. I just blocked them and my feed is a lot nicer. Dude’s checking the database and just banning everyone who downvotes him.

        Is that something regular moderators can do…?

        Not that I particularly care, but I moderate three communities on here and none of the tools available to me show who downvoted what. Exposing that type of info with that type of granularity feels like a bad idea to me; the sort of thing that is just begging to invite some sort of abuse.

            shadow account linked to yours, but only the administrators of your instance know

            1. Vote my conscience
            2. Bribe my admins to secrecy

            Gotcha!

          Yep, I mean you can see for yourself, I’ve never posted anything about veganism nor have I posted on the sub, and I was banned for “anti vegan sentiment” or something, I don’t feel like looking back at their rules lol.

            Their rules have the word “carnist” in them, so that should show you how seriously to take them.

              It’s a real word, even if it’s a relative neologism, so I’m not sure why you have the scare quotes around it. In fact, the term has been in use for over t20 years, so, IDK man, maybe accept it. Implying that it’s not a real word because you don’t like it–versus because it’s used as a slur to other people–kinda feels like Musk’s complaints about cisgender.
