This was in Lemmy world politics.
There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and internet moderators being power tripping cucks.
Are we really bringing back the “Ban you for coughing” nonsense from Reddit?
Yes.
Fother Mucker!
finally a space to diss on jordanlund bless 😭
i was banned by this mod for politely noting how certain comments lead to escalation of inappropriate behavior. i noted how by bantering with infringing accounts after comment removal, !world@lemmy.world mods actually increased the work they needed to do to remove abusive content and amplified toxic voices as a whole. i used no unkind language and really at the time i genuinely hoped for improvement to the quality of the community.
their response?
- permabanned
- for “mod abuse”
- one month after i made the post in question
don’t use !world@lemmy.world. their entire mod team is dedicated to just kind of fucking around in a sandbox with thousands of users, not to creating a space for genuine constructive world news engagement. preferably also just stop using lemmy.world when possible.
Because it’s clearly normal for your typography and patience to improve when you’re pissed off
When you read this thread, pay attention to how “PhillipTheBucket” runs defense for LW mods. It’s subtle and gross. Constantly asking for examples and arguing in bad faith.

Its funny that you call lemmy.world users worldists while being on lemmings.world
Worldists
so you’re either a tankie or a… worldist? and what exactly is that, except, not tankie? honest query.
Removed by mod
lol… sure kiddo.
you had me until you started typing. if it’s worth anything, I don’t think you’re a tankie, but I think this take is moronic.

Complains about tankies being authoritarian violent people
Advocates for genocide
Make it make sense
Removed by mod
To add to it, 90% of the people they call tankies are just leftists who want to learn from the good things that states like USSR and China have done. As if that means they endorse everything they’ve ever done. However if you try to point out the things America has done such as the multiple genocides we participated in, dictators we propped up, and so on, then that doesn’t count towards them being… What do you call an American liberal tankie? Sherman’s?

Lemmy has become Reddit
*world showing they want to be reddit but with 3rd party apps
Lemmy.World mods are extremely Zionist and frequently ban users for saying anything remotely pro Palestinian or making a claim about Israel without evidence.
Saying 20.000 killed Palestinians were Hamas without evidence to justify the genocide however, is totally fine.
A very open Zionist “gedeliyah” got promoted to mod on their news community.
I wish it would be true, maybe there wouldn’t be so many terrorist sympathizers on the biggest Lemmy instance in that case

Zionist “gedeliyah”
Do you have any example of this ?
They fully admit it and say it’s okay they are one because it brings balance to the news mod team.
Again, is there a link?
I’m not pro or against them, but it’s generally easier to use links to posts or comments when discussing this kind of statements
I didn’t save the occurances of it.
But this is one I was thinking of
The infamous “they”
???
I’ve found the news ones even worse
wtf is it with lemmy world mods. you think this is reddit? do you want your instance to be an echo champer or want users to just leave and join another?
Yes that is exactly what they want sadly
Lemmy.World so federated it is ran by the feds.
They glowin’
I got banned by him once because I pointed out, in rather colorful language, that a personal attack isn’t an ad hominem if it’s not directly used to refute an argument.
It was a three-day temp ban, in response to:
The evils are the same. There’s no lesser evil. Dead is dead is dead is dead, you fucking shitwit. You absolute twatwaffle. You self righteous piece of subhuman filth.
You do realize how incredibly stupid that argument is, don’t you? Please tell me you realize what a fucking idiot you are for saying something like that. I want to believe liberals aren’t so fucking brain dead. It was just sarcasm, right?
That’s not an ad hominem. If I say your argument is wrong because you’re a piece of shit, that’s an ad hominem. If I point out that the kids in Gaza are dead either way, so your argument is stupid and you deserve what the republicans are gonna do to you, and that I’ll enjoy watching liberals get their comeuppance and that I hope it’s painful and prolonged, that’s not an ad hominem. Learn what words mean before you use them, dumbass.
I don’t think it was the part about ad hominem that led to the ban.
It’s actually been really interesting reading how people summarize the interactions they had with moderators, and then looking at what actually happened, to see the parts they left out of the summary, and the stuff they put in the summary that wasn’t there.
The people who attract moderator attention sometimes also tend to argue in bad faith and engage in personal attacks. Who knew.
Oh man, I enjoyed reading those again, so thanks. Brings a tear to my eye, definitely some of my better work.
“where is the palestinian right to selfdefense” is dumb enough for a ban. fuck hamas, herzbüllah and the other terror proxies. and those who did not fight them are collaborators.
remember this: there are 9 ppl at a table and then a nazi joins. no one walks away? bam, 10 nazis.
I’ll gladly support anyone who opposes the genocide, no matter what methods they use. Every Israeli is a collaborator, there are no innocents.
I was banned by feminists for linking credible sources that the supposed suffragetes were Terrorists (It’s on Wikipedia)
The point is I did my due diligence & posted sources & boy these were some vile people I tell you
One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. I have exactly zero issue with terrorism from oppressed minorities.
They were no freedom fighters buddy, but please keep indulging in your fantasy
If bombing churches is freedom to you then I hate to see you define what’s the opposite
First of all, your comment doesn’t make any logical sense. Second, religion is the source of the vast majority of all evil in the world, so churches being bombed doesn’t bother me. Especially since my little sister was molested for years by our pastor, and the church tried to cover it up afterwards and claimed she, an eight year old girl, seduced and distracted him into sinning.
So bomb away. I’ll be grabbing the popcorn.
Jordanlund is almost as big a piece of shit as LyingSquid.
In my experience FlyingSquid tends to participate in the stupid and toxic aspects of the communities he’s policing but doesn’t stoop to abusing the power, certainly not to the extent of others I’ve seen. i.e. I think he could do more positive actions to build a good community but he doesn’t use as many negative actions to actively harm the community.
Lemmy.world is kinda lame in general though, especially when it comes to politics. Very narrow minded and like a bunch of piranhas when it comes to suppressing dissent. If you are easing into lemmy from Reddit you’ll feel right at home there.
They definitely will abuse it randomly. I know they’re going through lots of shit but damn they have a very hair trigger
If that’s actually him I’ll make that my profile picture and start posting in his subs more.
So their profile picture used to be a picture similar to that. And now theirs is a picture of I voted in Oregon…
Wait, what? FlyingSquid seems fine. In the only drama I saw involving them, it seemed to me like they were in the right. I asked someone who was all heated up about what a POS they were for some details or examples, and literally all they could come up with was a single un-called for message FlyingSquid sent to one user months ago, which for a full-time moderator means they’re way ahead of the curve.
Edit: Maybe I should ask for examples, what did FlyingSquid do?
Yeah, my interactions with FlyingSquid have been fine, but then again, I’ve never interacted with them in their mod role.
I’m against the genocide in Palestine, and sometimes comment that way.
There’s a firmly held belief by a certain segment of the community that everyone on Lemmy is liberals who will ban you if you are anti-genocide. Everyone on Lemmy is anti-genocide. Complaining that it’s full of these liberals and pro-genocide people is just a way to do some aggrieved whining whenever someone is disagreeing with some total nonsense. “We need to hate on Biden because genocide” “Yes but Trump is ten times worse” “Oh I see, you’re one of those pro-genocide people trying to censor me” is roughly how it goes.
Everyone on Lemmy is anti-genocide.
I’m gonna quote that, just because it’s so fucking stupid and I think it needs emphasis to show how disconnected you obviously are.
Maybe I should have said “99%”, I have seen some overtly pro-Israel users. They’re pretty few and far between, though. The vast majority of the time, it’s someone using a lazy strawman to attack someone by pretending they like genocide, instead of dealing directly with what they’re saying.
Can you link me to some examples of defense of genocide? I can pretty much guarantee you that whatever example you send me is not going to be a defense of genocide, it’s just going to be some opinion you disagree with which you are pretending implies support for genocide, so you don’t have to engage with what it actually says.
No, what you can promise me is that you’ll attempt to rationalize it as something it’s not, the same way you’re going to great lengths to try to whitewash FlyingSquid. The problem with that is, you’re just some random idiot on Lemmy, and I don’t care if you’re delusional or not, so I don’t see why I should take that kind of time debating you. I don’t care if you agree with me or not, so there’s no benefit in it for me whatsoever.
You messaged me, man. There wasn’t benefit for you in typing up your opinion in the first place, either. If you’re willing to spend time yelling about how it is, but not willing to demonstrate how it actually is when asked questions about it, then I’m going to draw the obvious conclusion.
I’ve seen FS straight up lie when banning people, making up excuses etc. For a period they even followed me around commenting on nearly everything I did trying to harass me until I called him out and the “coincidental” replies magically stopped.
FS is worse than JL from every interaction I’ve had with eirher. JL I can see having a bit of common sense and maturity.
Can you show me some examples?
I don’t know why you’re so invested in trying to whitewash FS, but what makes you think you trying to discredit the many experiences with others is going to change anyone’s mind about the worst mod on Lemmy? Your opinion on the experiences of others doesn’t mean shit.
FlyingSquid has a tendency to threaten moderator action in response to arguments they’re heavily involved in, which often comes off as a last-ditch effort to ‘win’.
Well, that’s not ideal. Have they actually taken action on it, though? If it’s just getting heated in an argument, that definitely seems not as bad as handing out bans for misspelling “Palestinian” or talking about jury nullification.
I’m not sure if they actually have. I know they’ve publicly called people out for reports which isn’t great, and have made threats based on reporting content multiple times, something that isn’t possible in lemmy, the content in question at the time was spam.
Power tripping bastard for sure, banning someone for misspelling words? If anything that makes him look like a troll, not the OP.
