# Rules

1. Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
2. When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
3. The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.

The usual instance-wide rules also apply.

***

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

This is awful mod behaviour... (lazysoci.al)

I used to see this on Reddit, I'm disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.

Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.

Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.

Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn't all as bad as it seems.

Thanks, didn't realise it was a historic issue. Only just noticed.

I guess I should expect to be banned from a bunch of communities for even mentioning it. It's so petty and shows how thin-skinned people can be. Shouldn't be mods if they can't perform the role objectively.

[–] cecilkorik@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

lemmy.ml is a trap run by literal communists (who also happen to be the main developers of the lemmy software) it's basically like the Lion King scene "but what's that shadowy place?" "oh that's lemmy.ml, we don't go there"

But the nice thing about federation is that even thought it's run by the developers, we don't have to participate there and they evidently don't want us "sheep" to participate there either so we can have a mutually beneficial relationship of not having anything to do with one another.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago

Hopefully more apps start to support piefed and maybe more instances will make the switch, allowing us to jettison there need for ml's lemmy development.

[–] 50shadesofautism@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 year ago

If you really want to participate in places just make an account on the top 100 instances and then boom alts for days, follow me on tiktok for more life advice.

[–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Could it be an instance ban?

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This. This is how an instance ban shows up, as a series of bans on any community they were active in on that instance.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ah! Really!? Then that maybe what it is. I went looking through the modlog and kept thinking "again?" over and over as I saw similar entries. Okay, maybe it isn't as bad?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

It's probably still bad.

[–] meldrik@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's simple. Don't criticize China in any community hosted on Lemmy.ml 😂

[–] Cube6392@beehaw.org 0 points 1 year ago

probably don't even post or interact with lemmy.ml. strip them of influence by simply disengaging from their squishy power

[–] PleaseLetMeOut@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

So the Fediverse equivalent of being banned from /r/Pyongyang?

[–] Reddfugee42@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You have been banned from /r/Pyongyang

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

You're free to argue about that stuff, it just seems like a lot of Redditors are not used to dealing with any opposition. After all, your opinions aren't the ones being nuked off of mainstream social media!

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Lemmy.ml strikes again!

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's lemmy.ml...

Their mods don't do much, it was likely an admin banning them from everywhere.

It's incredibly common with .ml, and why people are better off blocking the whole instance

A lot of the small ones are like that. And a lot even use a bot to ban if someone isn't subscribed. So it's possible all you did was down ote a brain rot meme and now you're banned from all those places.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 0 points 1 year ago

I'm not banned (yet), it was something I saw in the modlog whilst checking something else.

I didn't realise it was so common. Why are people so awful to one another :(

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That person was banned for anti-semitism and various other trolling: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?userId=17758269 . And banning from each community is the current hack for how to also do instance bans(fixed already in main)

Creating public modlogs was almost pointless, because people just use screenshots instead of actual modlog links.

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just learnt this in another comment. I didn't realise instance bans were reported like this.

Re: screenshots -- this community rules require censored screenshots.

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

No probs. It's always better to link the actual modlog, otherwise you have no idea why someone was banned.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The account you linked is from lazysoci.al but the one in the screenshot is from lemmy.world. It looks like it's this one https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=3194530

[–] dessalines@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Ah. That person is telling people to kill themselves, so that ban also makes sense.

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Pretty sure it was because that user said jizz

edit: just to clarify, i meant that it was because of the strict no nsfw rule that is in place, not that i necessarily agree with it

[–] lazynooblet@lazysoci.al 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I know which user you're talking about, however this screenshot was a different user a few hours before. Seems like it happens way more often than I realised.

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

yeah that's basically how an instance ban works. since you're on a differrent instance with different rules, you might not be dealing with the same issues.

you can check out powertrippinbastards for examples of mod power uses that you might not agree with, and if ever you disagree with how your instance handles modding, you can change it.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

This has already been explained by others so I’ll ask a question in addendum, when you’re unbanned, are your comments reinstated?

[–] Mwa@thelemmy.club 0 points 1 year ago

Good i didn't join lemmy.ml

[–] DicJacobus@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

its .ml

that means the user either said something not-nice about china or russia

or they implied america isnt 100% bad and has some redeeming features

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago

Notice how they are .ml comms.

[–] Joeyowlhouse@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This user was banned for being anti-Semitic and telling people to kill themselves. Also, when you're instance-banned, you automatically get banned from the communities you were active in. The mod didn't manually ban them from all those communities. When you attempt to post to a community in an instance you're banned from that you weren't active in, the instance-ban means the post won't federate.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah .ml has its issues but this person is a good reason to ban. It's fair to ban someone this genuinely fucked up.

[–] CraigOhMyEggoAlt@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's not the same person. Notice how the order of the community bans don't match up. Joey just wanted to sound like a hero again.

[–] Joeyowlhouse@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is the same person. The order can vary depending on the instance. OP is from lazysoci.al and the modlog order on their instance looks exactly the same as their screenshot https://lazysoci.al/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=2246232

[–] CraigOhMyEggoAlt@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 year ago

The coloring isn't the same in the link though.

[–] Joeyowlhouse@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 year ago

Some instances pre-emptively ban users if they happen to have a history of malicious behaviour. Can't say I can blame the mods and admins for not wanting to put up with the user's behaviour and the barrage of reports that could follow. Sometimes it's less of a workload to just ban them than wait for their inevitable trolling.

average .ml moment
