Look at my history. That wasn’t the reason I was banned. Over a year ago years ago I warned another user that I saw that mod ban an account for arguing. That post history was there and flying squid warned him to not do that sort of thing in Ten Forward. A year later I made the mistake of replying to a post that he posted to me. The post was about the writing in Discovery.
You can see my last post on tenforward that got banned. He deleted it but of course in Lemmy it’s only hidden so you can still view it.
So yeah, not only did he ban me but he lied about the reason.

Did you know that the ban reason is written by the moderator and they could write whatever they want - Including subjective views on the situation or even lies?
I don’t think the modlog is supposed to protect the moderators from the bad users but rather users from bad moderators.

Yeah, my favorite bans are the ones from the News communities, with notes like “bad punctuation” or “spreading misinformation” because they posted an MSNBC article.

No way! People can type whatever they want?
I love the modlog because it frequently shows both users and mods can be lying. A user who claims they were banned for something other than racism who has three racist comments that the mods deleted or admins of a certain instance who claim any criticism of China is bigotry.
In this case I was entertained by the modlog entry.

I think because I warned some users a couple of times over a year ago, that he thinks I’m a sock puppet of the person/people he has banned. When he got angry about my warning the user, I didn’t engage at all. But a year later in that thread about Discovery, I wasn’t paying attention and didn’t notice that I replied to him.
He seems to have a lot of drama around him.

There’s a Ye Power Tripping Bastards community on dbzero. I did know how to link at one point but forgot so this probably doesn’t work: lemmy.world/…/yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0…
