    Rip, got banned for brigading. I guess it’s my fault for casting a few downvotes on some pretty terrible takes engaging with a post.

      Add one to the pile of words the mods over there don’t know the definition of, I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It’s pretty funny they’re banning people for “brigading” even after their own instance admin told them there was no evidence of that happening.

        I do think my behaviour fits some sense of the word, but I didn’t mindlessly downvote every single comment either. I hadn’t thought they’d be so petty but oh well.

    Context: https://sh.itjust.works/post/27423240

    I would repost the comments here to show I didn’t say anything objectionable (I wrote a decently long comment about how I was checking mod logs and didn’t see removed posts and agreeing with the request for more details) but it looks like they got totally nuked ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Also, it looks like this meltdown is over some prolific shitposter getting banned from blahaj 6 months ago and I guess OP just now noticed. And also doesn’t understand that not federating posts from banned users is not “removing posts.”

      I never really got the appeal. I get joking about disturbing situations you have to deal with, but not what other people suffer through.

      Joking about the impending World War that would affect English speaking countries = based

      Joking about what is currently a proxy conflict for English speaking countries = cringe

      Honestly I’m not even sure if I ever posted there before this, I only saw it scrolling /c/all when it caught my eye for obvious reasons. If this is how the mods react to some polite but doubtful questions it doesn’t sound like I’m missing much!

      The funniest thing is that the NCD mod suggested in one of the replies in that dumpster fire of a post that it’s the Blahaj mods that are the ones who deserve to be posted there. The lack of self awareness genuinely is staggering…
