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.
Comment on Totally forgot there were subreddits that did this lol
HikingVet@lemmy.ca 4 days agoI’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.

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

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.

Probably because they cant see your comment because you are banned lmao. I would love if everyone just got along with each other, but taking instance admins ability, to decide what they want to store on their server, away from them is definitely not a strategy that leads anywhere but a cesspool of shit.

Thank you for your insight. It’s been pleasant discussing this with you.
Can I ask you to do something? Totally up to you. But if you look for Prole in the modlog and read the exchange they had with Brain in a box today, it highlights what I mean by double standards.
I get people don’t want a cesspool and I’m one of them, but it seems like .ml wants a particular type of cesspool.
