  Aye. Also bans happen on and by every instance with a mod team that isnt worthless. Sometimes you just need to ban people.

    I’ve gotten bans in communities on .ml that I haven’t even commented in for things they didn’t like me saying in a different community on their instance. Nowhere else has done this. I now expect 4 bans in .ml communities.

      I agree this is dumb and childish, but whats really the issue here? They can decide what and who they want to see on their site. It doesnt affect your usage of lemmy in general, just the communities hosted on the site that decided they dont like you.

        There is the double standards.

        The fact that they ban people from communities they haven’t interacted with over not liking your shit when they bitch about being silenced.

        It seems like they want everyone to bend the knee to their echo chamber.

        I don’t know how I haven’t been downvoted by them for this.

      This bullshit of going through someone’s post history and not liking it so you ban them for a group that you mod is so reddit. If the poster has not violated the group rules that’s all that matters. And I never understood why anyone would actually go through a poster’s history. It’s social media which is all phony bullshit anyway.

      Multiple simultaneous community bans are almost always artifacts of a site ban. Site bans don’t reliably federate in the modlog, so you have to check the modlog at the site that banned you: lemmy.ml/modlog?actionType=ModBan&userId=5313048

    It’s one thing to ban someone for posts and content on the instance itself

    It’s very modern-Reddit like to ban someone who never posted anything on your instance’s communities

      The nature of federation means that even if you never post anything to my instance, your garbage may still be visible to my people via tangential interactions on shared linked instances. Bans solve this on the local instance level and are by far the easiest way to accomplish this.

      (To be clear, the “you” in this is not referring to you specifically OP, it’s a general term)

        That’s like China setting up police station in other countries to police behavior outside their borders.

        If your users go somewhere with laxer rules, it’s not your place to try to impose your rules on people who don’t even use your site.

        There are certainly valid reasons for it and it’s also a fairly controversial thing to do. IMO it should be reserved for obvious spam/scam accounts or other problematic content accounts (e.g. Posting harmful misinformation or propaganda, illegal content, hate speech etc), not as a tool for “content I don’t agree with, but is otherwise fine”

        However, that being said, my meme isn’t really about whether or not it’s a just or good/bad thing to do, it’s about the irony of a group who consistently shits on .world as being “Reddit-like” to pull a page straight out of the reddit mod playbook

        Yes, and it is up to those users to decide that by themselves.

        Your job is to keep your instance clean, and defederate when your users want to. Not to police other instances and force them to do your bidding. You have no authority there. It is up to those instance mods.

  Very dialectical of you. Are you some kind of communist?

  True, but it’s the irony of it I’m poking fun of here. Also, I think .world is “Reddit like”, but Reddit-like of 10 years ago

    Thank you, yes! That’s why I came to Lemmy in the first place after all. I get the altruism of the fediverse but ultimately what I wanted out of the one social media platform I use is niche communities and memes. I was really upset to lose Reddit; it had become a major part of my screen time. And yes, it totally got shitty. So I’m happy to have a reasonable substitute in .world.
