I have one account. This one.
Yes it was recent, and that thread was the last one I saw before replying didn’t work anymore.
I’ve been here for a while, and I think it may be time to say goodbye to this. Federated or not, it’s the same mechanics that made Reddit toxic (minus karma) and the devs are pretty much mini Spezzes, so I doubt it will be that much better in the long run.
In fact poorly modded communities like c/politics will eventually get ignored by more and more and others on piefied and dbzero will grow and then they will get to critical mass until those mods get too crazy.
The core problem these communities and reddits miss is that you have a person coughing up 2~12 hours a week for free to moderate a platform they down own. What is their payment? How are they kept in check? How can users appeal?
And here we have that problem one level up where people call for defederation from certain instances. And there is instance admin abuse.
Big difference. Autism isn’t a slur, it’s a type of behaviour, I am autistic. It is to specify they follow rules very specifically (and without empathy) and again, I am warning others, which you could take issue with. So I was permabanned based on an implication?
Yes there were multiple occasions of that, and not just on that community. Mods are not keeping the community safer by removing that, they are just using their excess power to enforce respect rather than earning it.
The way you know it is excessive mod abuse is because they went straight to permaban, no warning, no temp ban.
They way you know they are autistic is that:
Don’t just show the modlog on me, show it on the entire community. Last thing I saw on there was crying about people creating hit and run accounts, and while I don’t condone of that either, just hapslappy permabanning is the cause of that.
As I said in my other comment, down the reddit drain we must go, because we didn’t change the fundamental problem of reddit, which was mod abuse.
This is an open form let people speak, or fuck off to reddit if you want to be powerhungry like spez.
