I pointed out the correct terminology for comms here on Lemmy. This is somehow blaming a victim. Help me understand.

The irony of just getting banned, no warning, from a power tripping comm about mod abuse is just next level.

    Mod abuse hotline is a circlejerk creation. It’s not a place to call out mod abuse, it’s a call for the mods to abuse you.

    A play on words and interpretations…

    Hot damn a ban for that? I haven’t looked at your history, which could change my opinion, but damn that seems harsh.

    I personally don’t think you did anything, maybe tone was slightly harsher than it needed to be, but that’s all I see. Hardly worth a ban. Ban for me as a mod is like you systematically bothered my users or went on a racist tirade or something.

      I mean, even IF my history had awful things, this was my first time interacting with that Comm and it was in an effort to help someone obviously new to Lemmy. Seeing harshness in my message is evidence that we all read things differently.

        Nah, if you had a history of awful things and came in it would make me read your comment differently.

        That said, I saw no harshness in there.

        But I will say that your activity outside of a comm is definitely a factor for me as well. I won’t preemptively ban, but it will mean way less leeway being given.

          No, it wouldn’t be different unless he has a history of victim blaming

              You really believe banning or removing someone post/comment for the wrong reason is right?

                You know how you throw a party, and that one drunk neighbor shows up, pisses on your shrubbery, and cops a feel off your mom?

                It’s okay to escort him out the door when he shows up at your cousin’s bat mitzvah before he can cause trouble there.

    It’s pretty weird over on lemmy.sdf and I try to just take qrstuv (EDIT: this was wesker, not qrstuv. Wesker also gets up to some trolling) as some odd performance art. Funhole, Linux Surrealism, and bun alert are great, but most every other community is run by qrstuv, and they can be oddly tyrannical outside of Funhole. Their entire account is practically digital performance art. EDIT: Wesker tends to be a little bit more “normal” rather than too weird to die all the time, but there’s still a ton of lighthearted in-joking and trolling going on.

    I’m pretty sure that community was originally created by qrstuv to bait someone who was being shit in the Funhole community into complaining about the legitimate moderation actions taken against them, then see how long it took them to realize they were being responded to by the very person who banned them.

    My take would be that, yes, it is absurd to call correcting terminology victim blaming, and that’s the “joke”.

    EDIT: I’d actually check the mod log to see if any action was taken against you besides a trolling comment. Would be willing to bet there isn’t actually.

    Also, the joke of going: “Item A: blah, Item 2: blah” should be pointed out.

    It’s not a legitimate mod abuse community, it’s effectively a -jerk style comm for shitposting around the theme.

      Wow, that is a lot of very specific stuff to know that I would never have guessed. I can’t decide if this means I don’t spend enough time on here or if I need to spend way less.

      Huh… That is really deep in the in-joke nonsense weeds, thank you very much for filling us in on what the hell happened here, I’d have had no ability to ascertain any of this without your explanation

      I don’t moderate that community anymore. I was forcibly removed in a coup. I said some things, people didn’t like the things, and I was removed and banned myself for a while.

      This is what I suspected from the mod comments on the post. I can’t decide if it’s dumb or funny, but it’s good to know that is what it’s meant to be.

      There’s a Mitchell and Webb sketch about the Apprentice being full of idiots, for an audience of idiots. At the end, they note there are some non-idiots who watch out of a sense of irony.

      “And remind me, how do these ironic non-idiots show up in the ratings?”
      “They show up the same, my friend.”

      So I’m not feeling much better knowing this is a mod abuse done ironically.

    My suspicion is that the sub is so tightly wound against “victim blaming” (aka, “not instantly agreeing with OP”) that any correction is seen as opposition. My other suspicion, from looking at the comm and how often they mock this one, is that they tried and failed to play the victim here, and decided to make their own mod abuse comm with blackjack and hookers.

    That community is a giant troll. EVERYTHING is victim blaming there, which means nearly everyone gets banned. Got myself banned quite a while back for practically nothing lol

    everyone’s trying to figure out where the victim blaming is, I’m more baffled by “you don’t know that”

    we don’t know that communities are called communities? we don’t know that subreddits are on reddit? I guess we need this mod to drop a list of the things we’re allowed to know

    I only saw the top of the image before coming to the comments. I was thinking to myself, who tf calls them sub reddits on lemmy? (eww that word…)

    And that’s exactly what you said. I woulda gotten a ban too I guess.

    The mods comment makes absolutely so sense. I want to think it was meant as a response to something else but it kinda just doesn’t make sense in general.

    Yeah I don’t know what their deal is but they’re some kind of troll. I don’t think PTB is quite right, but it’s close enough.
