@MrKaplan@lemmy.world has decided that one can only say nice things about the company or else you're a troll despite having years long legitimate user history. No rules were broken, only @MrKaplan@piefed.world's feelings. Furthermore I wasn't even the one to call them "and shitlibs" (The FHF is, I just didn't say it) - yet @MrKaplan@piefed.world has decided we both should get instance banned for this.

Good to know that Lemmy.world and the Fedihosting Foundation will tolerate StoneToss and Jago but draw the line at their company being called, a real unofficial rule being enforced on multiple users now.

And Hi @mrkaplan@discuss.online, I know you're watching these threads now :) I made this for you

Edit:

They’ve updated the ban, I’m now banned for stuff I did after being instance banned and not even visible from their instance.

Nice to know you enjoy my FHF meme MrKaplan!

@recursive_recursion@lemmy.ca felt the need to act on Lemmy.world's behalf and follow their instance ban, with their own. Trying to paint critcism of the Fedihosting Foundation as 'trolling' and that I am a bad faith poster despite being 100% and authentic in everything I do and never once using Bad Faith. I've never even once had a post or comment on lemmy.ca require moderation, and had only ever contributed with useful posts to the TIL or Music comm.

Overall a rather shameful display from an otherwise upstanding instance and clear sign of this being a targeted move as it's now the 4th instance ban in 2 days despite never receiving one prior.

Comment and thread in question: https://lemmy.world/comment/23138585

Ban from that community, memes@lemmy.ml:

Rule 1 of said community: Be civil and nice.

Rule 1 of said instance: No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

I was clearly not bigoted in any manner, and I believe more civil than the way I was treated, was it the Code of Conduct? Excerpts:

Please be kind and courteous. There’s no need to be mean or rude.

Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every design or implementation choice carries a trade-off and numerous costs. There is seldom a right answer.

I think I was kind with the people I disagreed with, even if they could not be in return, yet those comments (some including ableist slurs) remain. I think this is enough to demonstrate it is merely a difference in ideology which motivated the ban. Well, bans, because it seems they copied and pasted the same ban in all the communities they have access to:

It's not a general lemmy.ml ban, just those in particular.

I understand this kind of behavior in safe space communities that don't want outsiders bellyaching about the pragmatism of electoral politics, but that's not the case in any of the communities I've been banned from, nor is it a part of the instance rules or CoC.

PTB or triggered shitlib? Not an exclusive or, of course.

This is horrific, I was unfairly instance banned for X. Now I won't be able to see all their amazing content about Y and Z.

1. The Power Trippin Bastard was: @Illecors@lemmy.cafe
2. Instance Ban
3. 
4. ??? without a reason I am left to assume the admin is possibly a neo-nazi? — I don't know, it's hard to tell and I have nothing to go on for this.
5. It infringes on my basic human rights, specifically Article 27 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights ("Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits."), I would like public flagellation of the administrator as a remedy.

in which PugJesus makes a post about 'solidarity' and immediately bans any anarchist he disagrees with.

I get that tankiejerk is a circlejerk comm, but the hypocracy in this post was so rank I couldn't resist commenting. Obviously I was perm banned within minutes

PJ says:

but when someone says to you “I’m an anarchist, I organize to alleviate suffering at the grassroots level”, the correct response is “Right on, comrade”, even if you think state institutions are the optimal solution.

Me:

I’m an anarchist, I organize locally. It’s a big part of my daily life. based on my experiences I have found way more common cause with so-called ‘tankies’ than liberals when it comes to actually working to oppose the shit that’s crushing us.

[banned]

it turns out that he doesn't practice what he preaches at all. Obligatory:

There's only one mod of !mop@quokk.au

I commented on their meme about Kamala Harris being just as likely to commit war crimes as Trump with an admittedly snarky, sarcastic reply that basically said "some of us wanted to whatever we could, as little as it might be, instead of watching the world burn. Must feel real morally superior safe behind that keyboard"

They banned me from the community for it.

Kinda funny for a community that bills itself as "free from the influence of .ml"

That's right, nuttin'! Here's the modlog:

This mod clicked ban, saw the box to put in a reason, and put nuttin' in it.

Jokes aside, the last thing I did in that community was say "mods, remove this slop please", in the comments under an AI generated meme, posted by a mod. I thought that was funny, but it might have been why the mod decided to ban Me. But the mod didn't see any reason to put that in the modlog, which is where reasons to ban people go.

Apparently I was instance banned for a single downvote on a ~~comment~~ post I disagreed with. I've said before that mods who do this kinda thing are cowards, but I'm honestly not hugely upset about it as I'm not a furry, so whatever. But insulting me in the ban is too much. Grow a fucking spine you pussy, and at least message me if you're too going to insult me with your ban.

Edit: Changed comment to post, for clarity. I assumed it was a comment I downvoted as I tend to interact more in comments.

Edit 2: This got more traction than I expected and I'm glad to see most agree that moderating by voting behavior is childish. I don't condone the transphobia in the comments though. Don't judge people for how they view themselves, judge them for their actions, especially towards others.

Edit 3: Now apparently I'm inciting harassment by posting here. Go fuck yourself. I never even called you out by name.

The video I linked for reference

I guess I was "sympathizing with invaders" because I said "Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man."

Just patently ridiculous moderation...

Time for a second holocaust

Man, why does Israel seem to want nothing more than to justify what Hitler did? Starting to feel like he should have been given time to finish the job.

I don't know how anyone with a clear mind could possibly defend this kind of behavior, this is Nazi shit. You cannot claim to be "apolitical", ban both sides and then still have a Hitler defender around on your instance.

I don't care if I am banned or not even though I did not do anything wrong - I mostly lurk on here, but Agrivar@lemmy.world should not be welcome in the fediverse, and the fact that they are only banned from 1 community is completely fucking inexcusable. kill all Nazis

I've made 3 posts to that community, none of which were in that span of time. So it had to be due to my accounts posting history. For the clarification, I open a window with all of the tabs of communities I am going to post to and add links/images and then titles. I then scroll down, ctrl tab, and hit submit. I'm not a bot. Which the mod could have just like... asked. But fine. He may not have the common decency to even ask a question before jumping to conclusions but i'll stop posting them so fast. Don't know which moderator it is but given that @Demigodrick@lemmy.zip is the only active moderator over there... fairly sure it was him.

Could just ask next time dude.

Edit: That's a lot of downvotes for not saying anything one way or another.

Edit 2: Wow. Wondering why I'm bothering to put in effort on posting to this website if this is the general behavior and attitude. Be polite? Get hostility. Add content? Get banned.

What is Vote Manipulation? I've never posted on most of these communities, but I seem to be banned on all of lemmy.zip, and now some sci-fi communities on a Star Trek server.

This is becoming ridiculous.

We are back at square 1.

-A few days ago, a moderator on Digital Art banned me for supposedly posting "furry" (anthropomorphic animal) art. My works are based on yokai characters (Japanese mythology), kemonomimi (humans with animal ears and tails), and beasts (normal and mythical animals). Nothing falls into the furry category, which is exclusively for anthropomorphic animals. And it should be clarified that I have been posting in that community for months without any warning or comment about my works. I tried to contact her through comments in another community she moderates (I barely use Lemmy to post, and I'm not going to download external apps to open chats just for this, plus I don't speak English), but she decided to delete them and not speak to me.

(I won't get into a discussion about this; if you don't believe me, just look up the terms mentioned. Labeling everything as furry simply because it has an animal percentage is pure ignorance, and I'm fed up with the topic because I've explained and shown it a thousand times to some stubborn people. Please don't try to convince me to use the word "furry" as something universal, because it's NOT, and I know what I draw and what I don't.)

Wowzers! You get banned for posting sources not sanctioned by the empire apparently. I thought dbzer0 was supposed to be a leftist instance, but they ban just like the lib and zio instances like .world and ShitJustFash?!

I see lib rags spammed all over the feed....

🙄

Jordan Lund is NOT a good human being.

Right, the Gaza Genocide isn't US Politics... Those aren't US made bombs being dropped with US politicians cheering them on and US diplomatic support and denial allowing the Genocide to continue. Nothing could be more salient to US politics than the ways in which the Palestinian Genocide drove us to war.

What a joke.

I feel that this situation unfortunately requires escalation and I will be directly contacting Lemmy World mods, I will update with their response.

For the record the first article about corporate complicity in the Palestinian Genocide includes references to many major US corporations, thus making it drirectly relevant to US politics at an immediate level.

The second article about US media's complicity in coverage over the Palestinian Genocide... do I need to actually explain how that is related to US politics? Of course it is?

https://sopuli.xyz/post/42579919

https://dawnmena.org/destroying-al-shifa-hospital-robin-andersens-the-complicity-lens-us-media-coverage-of-israels-genocide-in-gaza/

The third article is relevant because the US and Israel have been intimately interwoven in their escalation of Genocide and breaking of international norms, if a Genocide begins in Lebanon it will be a DIRECT continuation of US politics applied first in Israel and next in Lebanon. I mean what the hell we are fighting a war RIGHT NOW and this is the biggest escalation possible IN THAT WAR. How is that NOT related to US politics?!?!?!?!!!!!???

The fourth article about there being no ceasefire in Gaza, I don't even know how to go about this one, om, it is politics involving primarily the US here? The US is the single most relevant political actor capable of changing this situation? How is this not US politics? Where can you cleanly draw a line here?

https://sopuli.xyz/post/42630002

https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/there-no-ceasefire-gaza

The US is directly and intimately complicit in the Palestinian Genocide, you cannot in good conscience nor with logical consistency separate US politics cleanly from this issue, if you wanted that to be possible you should have spoken up louder against the Genocide before, now it is too late to fumble with broken stilted arguments like this. The Palestinian Genocide is US Politics, period, end of story.

Can we finally stop pretending that what we have been witnessing in Gaza over the past 22 months is a “war,” a “conflict,” or even a “humanitarian crisis”? Many of the world’s leading human rights and humanitarian groups – including Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders – agreed months ago that what is being livestreamed to our phones on a daily basis is indeed a genocide.

...

Trump’s Republican allies in the House and Senate are even more gung-ho. Forget complicity; Congress is filled with GOP cheerleaders for genocide, from Senators Tom “bounce the rubble in Gaza” Cotton to Lindsey “level the place” Graham. The newest member of the House, Randy Fine, a Republican representative of Florida, has called for the nuking of Gaza and said just days ago that Palestinians in Gaza should “starve away” until the Israeli hostages are all released. (A reminder that incitement to genocide is also a crime under Article III of the Genocide convention.)

But we cannot let Democrats off the hook either. The first 16 months of this mass slaughter unfolded on a Democratic president’s watch. From the get-go, Joe Biden gave Netanyahu and his cabinet of génocidaires everything they needed – 2,000-lb bombs to drop on refugee camps filled with Palestinian children? Check. UN security council vetoes to prevent the passage of resolutions calling for a permanent ceasefire? Check. The burial of internal US government reports warning of war crimes and famine in Gaza? Check.

It wasn’t just Biden. The vast majority of Democrats in Congress spent much of 2024 casting vote after vote to keep arming, funding and whitewashing the mass killing of Palestinian civilians. Even now, in the summer of 2025, seven high-profile Democratic senators were happy to take a smiling photo with Netanyahu, including the Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer, who claims talk of genocide is antisemitic and says his job “is to keep the left pro-Israel”.

How can I see the mod and community so I can block them?

The power tripping admins at lemmy.blahaj.zone decided to ban me from 196 for zero reason. Citing "Troll" as the one they gave. I understand blahaj has had issues with power-tripping at the admin level in the past over stupid neopronoun debates regarding actual trolls pretending to be fake genders but this is a new low even for them.
