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:
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.
CLM. This is one of the dedicated anti-vegan trolls we have. Being a sea lion is fine on lemmy, libs care only about being "civil" during these discussions. Lemmy.world's incivility rule is used to silence people all the time. It's no surprise this behavior is still happening, we've had this same thing happen before. Yes it is annoying and off-putting to troll people and then report them. I would say that is being shitty to others, not very genuine / welcoming / cooperative/ authentic / considerate etc. I would love for vegans to feel more comfortable on lemmy and across the fediverse, but until people give a shit this will continue to happen. Hexbear is one of the only instances I know that will ban bad-faith carnists, yes one of the evil boogeymen of the fediverse is not afraid to take a stand. Meanwhile, most instances don't care what their users do during off-instance communities. Always check someone's modlog to see if they have previously been banned for this shit, I think you will find that they have been.
wouldn't you know if I reported them? you told me in the past not to report people who treat me poorly.
edit: of all the things you could have contributed, you neglected to mention the one thing you know no one else could, and instead just shit talked me. idk how you became an admin, but I am interested in the recall procedure.
