So for context, a certain Zionist Feddit admin complained earlier about being banned from lemmy.ml and they recently got banned from here for the same thing. But they were not banned from sh.itjust.works and made a post complaining in !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works, I'm not linking that directly they've already accused me of brigading their community.

Anyway I argued with them for a while and continued to shoot down their deflections and justifications (way longer than anyone should argue with any Zionist troll) and goat decides to respond to me accusing me of using antisemitic symbols, the triple parentheses. Now what I actually used were 3 sets of quotation marks but he said they were similar. And asked me to edit the post. What do you think?

Is he right? Should I edit the comment? Or is he just trying to deflect from my criticism by saying it's antisemitic?

No bans or removals have happened yet in this situation as of writing this.

Edit: I want to say, that the reaction to this post is shameful, many of the people below in this posts' comments are some of the legitimately most disgusting people on planet earth. Holy fuck I anticipated some nastiness but never this much.

I'm not making another of these posts and I will be reporting and blocking any of the dipshits who make accounts to harass me in my DMs.

Maybe I fucked up, maybe I was too harsh. Maybe I owe some people apologies. I don't know at this point and I suspect I will never know for sure.

Also if you came here legitimately giving feedback and not just bad-jacketing or harassing me. I thank you and the above message wasn't meant for you. This post has been brigaded and shut down by a Zionist troll harassing me with a deluge of alt accounts.

Adendum to my post:

I should've known better than to trust or listen to @goat@sh.itjust.works in any way... I don't know how I missed this but if I saw this before posting this thread I never would've posted this thread at all, because there isn't any logic whatsoever here, and any assessments of me or dbzer0 made by goat are being made in bad faith.

I am fine with the ban but the admins should be consistent and ban the other guy and remove his comments too. He also wished that ICE kidnap me. How can you be anti ice and trump if you wish his gestapo to kidnap someone else?

This is another example of double standard on lemmy when someone is constant with opposing Israel .

Apparently the one who oppose Biden, Kamala and Trump support for the genocide is the bad guy and the one who defend Biden and Harris is not

Also Kamala supported Trump surrender plan of Gaza

Harris praises Trump, aides for role in Gaza peace deal: ‘An important first step’

I didn’t even know the link was from .ml. I haven’t blocked the instance completely, just some communities.

I’m not sure if blocking them deletes their comments like the piefed code suggested, but I’m done. I don’t have time to deal with drama on the fediverse, and I don’t care what comes from this. I just thought others would get a chuckle about how petty this is.

This person seemingly did nothing wrong apart from having a lame user handle. Suddenly they are site wide banned.

https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=20350905

can anyone point me to why this would have occured and who can do this?

I assume it has something to do with the discussion in the other thread on YPTB. Still doesn't make sense to only ban me from one community I haven't interacted with in a while.

Edit: It turns out it is an instance wide ban on lemmy.ml. Some people have told me already that I should see it as a badge of honor. Honestly, I can just shrug. I don't visit lemmy.ml anyways.

In short

I got a reply from a prolific anti-vegan troll and referred them back to an earlier conversation we had. Got banned for "harassment" and "following someone around" when in fact they replied to me and keep following vegans around when they post against anti-vegan propaganda.

The 14-day ban and comment removals by @aeronmelon@lemmy.world: https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog/45638?page=1&actionType=All&modId=6106918&userId=18352111

And the posts in question:

• https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/19014218
• https://lem.lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/19014077

The comments when I posted them rendered as

Oh hey its you

The link is to a discussion which expanded is this here (The link goes to the comment with the highlighted star):

With background

The person in question is a very dedicated anti-vegan troll who is known to make non-sequitur claims as replies to vegans, in the hopes of roping then into a defensive position under the guise of "debate".

To exemplify this I engaged with them a couple months ago and got a perfect showcase of their behaviour. I had never used this and have never replied to them since then (at least I don't remember that I have and searching didn't turn anything up). But then when they replied to me yesterday I did. And got promptly banned for "harassment" and "following someone around". I messaged the mod who banned me to no reply.

Their behaviour is being enabled by lemmy.world mods like @aeronmelon@lemmy.world who will readily delete comments made by vegans should they dare step a foot outside of the norms of "civilized debate", like e.g. in the same thread (1) and (2). The petulant and incessant trolling by them is of course never subject to such moderation actions.

To any vegan comrades, do not engage this troll, you risk getting banned and your comments deleted.

Apparently I used wrong account to post this. Will have to switch accounts to my blahaj account on occasion to reply to comments, apologies.

!leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com moderator @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com removed my comment

or primaries

a spoiler effect happens when a losing candidate affects the results of an election simply by participating

Vote splitting is the most common cause of spoiler effects in FPP. In these systems, the presence of many ideologically-similar candidates causes their vote total to be split between them, placing these candidates at a disadvantage. This is most visible in elections where a minor candidate draws votes away from a major candidate with similar politics, thereby causing a strong opponent of both to win.

This willful ignorance of the spoiler effect is tiresome denialism of mathematics. We've already seen the consequences.

reminding that primaries exist & quoting wikipedia's explanation that in the US's voting system, voting for minor candidates spoils the election in favor of the major party candidate the voter opposes most. In context

the post is titled

Vote Blue No Matter Who

with my comment responding to the parent comment, which practically denies the point the higher comment is driving at that not "voting blue" can only spoil the election in favor of "the fascists". Ignoring the purpose of primaries, the parent comment suggested alternatives that still don't "vote Blue".

the moderator claims this violates rule

3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.

That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of “Marxist”-“Leninists” (read: Dengists) (actual ML’s are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don’t just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).

Somehow, straightforward social choice theory (a branch of mathematical social science) is "liberalism", "revisionism", or "reactionary". Is "1 + 1 = 2" equally problematic?

Maybe moderators shouldn't claim mathematics is ideology.

So yeah someone posted a video from a Kurzgesagt channel to mealtimevideos and i wanted to know if Kurzgesagt is still funded by Bill Gates (who is a supporter of the Trump regime and Israels genocide)

This immediately got me banned from the community. As the mod didnt even bother providing a reason i cant really be sure what the problem was.

Be respectful of other submitters and commenters. Personal attacks, hate speech, bigotry, etc will not be tolerated.

This rule would hardly be a reason because its not about the content, but the "submitters and commenters"

@geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml banned me from !ManufacturingConsent@lemmy.ml (permanently!) and removed my comment from the post, because I dared to note that there are protests in Iran and shared a link to a crimethinc article with voices from within Iran. They call it "imperialist propaganda" if leftist voices from within Iran are distributed.

My comment:

I get it that the western media narrative is incredibly one-sided, focused on ideological bogeymen and focused on getting the monarch back in power. But I'd like to point out that there is in fact quite massive repression going on against the protestors. Leftist orgs in Iran need international solidarity now.

Their "reasoning":

reason: Ignoring the post to spam imperialist propaganda

I don't think that person can be reasoned with if they call crimethinc imperialist propaganda, so I'm not getting my hopes up for them lifting the ban.

I also think that they might be a bit butthurt, because I called out their zionistic worldview (i.e.: that judaism equates zionism) a few days ago.

My favorite part is where they continue to argue with my banned ass, knowing full well I can't respond. The only way to win for them, I suppose.

Edit: Looks like there was some confusion regarding cross-posting in the original link so I'll just put the Modlog link here that displays the removed comment and ban, with the thread itself linked here. I'd rather add than change for the sake of the post's integrity and preventing confusion.

Today, i couldnt upvote a post from anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus so i decided to check it out on my pc. i noticed that i was banned from the com even though i havent posted anything on the com nor the instance. i guess the reason for the ban is that i posted a meme to different comm a while ago. The meme is homophobic but i didnt know it when i was posting it. After finding out it was homophonic, i added a disclaimer to my post.

i dont think i deserved the ban, and i want to hear your thoughts.

Seriously, what did I do wrong besides say "discriminatory"? I was trying to help my friend?

It was a genuine question believe it or not. And “yes” would have been sufficient.

Aaaaaaand I just got banned from NOT one, NOT two, NOT three, but four Lemmy.ml communities. Is this a sign I have to start studying and reading up on theory?

Also, I know some Lemmy.ml mods is gonna say that "you wouldn't get banned from these communities had you read your theory!" like they're teachers demanding students to eat their meat before they can have their pudding (because how can you have your pudding when you don't eat your meat?)

Now I support the idea of socialism (I'm more of a market socialist), and I'm NOT against the idea of actually existing socialist countries (ie: China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos and the DPRK). That said, I think Lemmy.ml should be more open to different forms of socialism, as well as the Marxist Leninists who DOESN'T have to support Stalin (and his bureaucratic and polarizing practices while General Secretary of the CPSU) to support ML.

I am very bummed that I CAN'T respond in these communities - that said, I can subscribe to different versions of these communities that happened to be in different Lemmy instances (other than Lemmy.ml):

I post lefty meme and was banned.

Both mods are also moderators of announcements@discuss.online; they are admins, this is their instance, and they are engaging in vote tampering to boost their instance and its communities over the rest of the fediverse.

Hmmmm seems like some pro labor mod is doing some apologia for crimes that people hung at Nuremberg for.

Forgive me for dispensing with civility while hellfire rains down.

I would prefer this post be restored or the rules be updated for clarity

Just recently, I got banned from Lemmy.ml because they thought I was "trolling" using an LLM. Let me clarify to any Lemmy.ml mods reading this that I'm not using an LLM for my comments. I am a human being who actually has autism which is why I type like this.

Sometimes I post so much so fast that I get a "too many requests" error before I get to post the next comment - in these cases, that's my cue to cool down for a bit, and then post my comments from my "queue" (I leave the comments unposted until I post them) after a certain period of time.

I just submitted a message like this on the Lemmy Matrix chat (through Cinny - pretty good software) as my ban appeal- I then got a reply saying "mods DON'T hang out here - just message them from the sidebar" which I will do after posting this.

Since yesterday, Jordanlund is continuing to remove reporting like that from the reputed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drop_Site_News (article depicted in the screenshot is https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/israeli-spy-yoni-koren-stayed-jeffrey-epstein-apartment-ehud-barak) just for being hosted with substack. He is now moderating World News and Politics at lemmy.world.

Yes, legitimate news sites use Blogging platforms, they also use Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube and we don't allow those links either.

goodness, that is not the point. That means these outlets post to their own website while also reposting the thing on twitter. In so many cases, their own website uses substack/wordpress! For example, https://time.com/ is the official website of Time magazine, as in the publisher of Time Person of the Year. It uses WordPress, as you can see by going to https://time.com/wp-admin/.

If he wants to target blogspam, he should be targeting things like The Daily Beast and https://www.utubepublisher.in/, which use none of the technologies he's targeting. This ban on CMS technology is arbitrary and does not prevent poor publishing that simply registers a domain, as anyone may register a domain.

I sent the MOD this message:

Hi XXXXXXXX, I just noticed that you banned me 2 hours ago from c/Science for Spam. I am confused. I mostly lurk and haven’t commented or posted anything in several months. I definitely don’t post ads or spam. Can you please let me know what happened?

The only reason that I noticed that I am banned is that I watched that (long-ish) video about Brainrot on the feed and the top comment is asking for a tldw.

I guess it's tradition to post here. Some random comment somewhere netted these community and instance bans. Whoever did that doesn't like communists
