I mean that’s one of the more unsuprising bans ngl.
I could find way more dodgy bans if I just spend five minutes scrolling the general modlog. ML bans are so frequent and tend to be so dodgy, that the ban you got there is like the least unsuprising thing of my day.
Unsurprising, but a blatant example of them not allowing criticism. I mean, people expect it from them, but it is something to link to when one claims they don’t do this.
KIA as in the car brand? What the hell are they even doing on .ml?
It’s a shame so many default to .ml without any knowledge of who owns and runs the instance…
It’s because not enough bigger instances have thrown in the towel and defederated lemmy.ml. Many people are able to ignore this issue when it hasn’t happened to them which is why they still choose to create communities there. Defederation though is harder to ignore since it kills your chances of starting a community there.
Tangential, but: communities should be linked in the form of !name @ server.tld.
Fair
While yes, ml is a shithole. If you spammed that (I haven’t checked), the ban is fair game.
Nah, no spam, a one off on an opportunity that presented itself on a somewhat relevant post (OOP was saying they were posting in an attempt to revive a dead comm) lmao
If you don’t attack them directly (e.g. call them tankies) and just list the alternative, you’d be fine.
Then they overreacted. A single comment is perfectly valid in my opinion.
No dissent on the grad!
I mean that’s kinda what you get. You go to their instance, talk shit about their instance, and get banned. Any other one would very likely do the same, regardless of orientation
Any instance that silences ‘this instance has problems’ has problems.
‘has problems’ is different from " you fucking tankienscum shouldn’t get to talk about cars".
Quit putting words into other people’s mouths. The post is right there, they did not say that. They said you could go to another instance that doesn’t have the baggage of tankie authoritarianism. If you can’t accept middling criticism, make your shit private, get off publicly accessed media.
And for that they banned OP, just proving his statement correct.
Saying this on a post and comm entirely unrelated to ‘tankie authoritarianism’ is just off topic at best and directly malicious at worst. Anyone that does that should be banned. Either keep your options to areas with any semblance of being on topic, or don’t whine about moderators doing the bare minimum.
I don’t yell about us imperialistic nightmare shit that .world wholeheartedly supports on cat comms that happen to be hosted on .world. and it’d be right to ban me if I did, because those are cats, not nazis pretending trump is the first nazi in the white house when Joe racial jungle biden was just in it.
You should be able to express your anti-imperialist sentiment as well. If someone asks about an alternative, and you suggest something other than world, and tell them it is better because they aren’t loaded with closeted nazis, you should be able to. It is a very low level comment in regards to how rude/disruptive it is. I could understand if they were going all over the place just doing that. That is not what is happening.
If you are that sensitive you should lock your place, and add people via invite, as you see them posting things you like. You should then have your rules expressed about this stuff. If you have an open door system, you should be able to tolerate critical comments that are middling rude.
By your system of etiquette, you should be not arguing this, as you are on a space specifically to discuss over authoritarian mods in places like .ml, etc. in a snarky, sarcastic, satirizing, etc. way. This is not the place to defend the behavior. However you are good to criticize the opinions/posts here, as long as you don’t do something stupid like make threat. That is how it should be.
I dunno, unless you’re spamming I feel like mods of normal instances wouldn’t be threatened by someone in their comm presenting alternatives.
True, but in this case it was more of a poke for davel, since they were so kind as to revert my 1 year site ban 2 months in for the sole purpose of allowing their following to brigade my posts and content lol
Hence the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe it would be best to add that context though LMAO
So you support reddit banning people who push lemmy?
Good to know where your principles lie.
What?
What a pathetic “achievement” to “unlock” yet again. It’s boring and hack and old. Get some new material.
Lmao, technically my achievement has been relocked since davel reverted my existing 1 year site ban just 2 months in for brigading purposes and just manually banned me from
2930 comms out of 3655+ .ml commsAnd even this isn’t a site ban, just a plain ol comm ban, but since davel issued the Kia comm ban, I accomplished what I wanted
Anyways, if you want to see actual documentation of the Tankie behavior of .ml to scratch that “new material” itch, be sure to check out the other posts around here!
