Former mod of a number of communities. This account is now inactive.
We don’t have much of a choice.
Not because of real users, but bots. We’ve seen a huge influx of bots lately, to the point different instances have different solutions.
I know of one instance that is planning on removing all comments and posts of users that delete within a week of being created, as there is a group with an agenda doing this.
Without knowing the context, I’d say PTB, because they did a ban with removal, thereby hiding the validity of the ban.
Knowing the context, yeah, same outcome.
You posted slurs.
That’s why it was a ban.
This user was arguing, off-topic, gaslighting, and trying to start slap fights. Couple that with over 7 reports made by them against anybody who disagreed, I gave them a 3-day timeout.
Rule 4 allows for them
I appreciate your choices. I really do. I won’t stop eating meat, but you are welcome to your own choices. Just don’t try pushing them on me.
Reported for trolling. This isn’t trolling. It’s shitposting.
Staying up.
I was going to make a fork, governed by the users to ensure PTB features weren’t present.
Is there already a decent fork, to save me time?
This comment was reported for “Racism”
I have removed this comment, but not for that, as “Trustafarian” isn’t a race - it’s slang for “trust fund kids that live a hedonistic lifestyle”.
I removed it for misinformation.
Calling me a Zionist. That’s rich, and a violation of the rules. Cool story.
Now, on to the data. Did you look at how many people polled? I did.
A substack blog is the authority?
Got a better (read: more balanced), more data-driven proof, or are you just diving through the garbage pile looking for the evidence that suits your argument?
They were all down voting today. All the accounts were created today
They are not banned on Lemmy.world. Just on the news community. I have notified the admins, so they should receive the ban hammer soon.
I banned all those users for being vote manipulating bots.

This post isn’t uncivil. It’s valid drama.
This post has been reported as AI Slop
This is one of the rare cases we allow it, as it is a direct response to an actual political event, in the exact same manner.
Cool story.
Comments have gone off the rails.
Locking this down
