MODERATORS
 

I did some analysis of the modlog and found this:

Ok, bigger instances ban more often. Not surprising, because they have more communities and more users and more trouble. But hang on, dbzer0 isn't a very big instance. What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?

Ok, so lemmy.ml, dbzer0 and pawb are issue an outsized amount of bans for the number of users they have... But surely the number of communities the instance hosts is going to mean they have to ban more? Bans are used to moderate communities, not just to shield their user-base from the outside. Let's look at the number of bans per community hosted:

Seems like dbzer0 really loves to ban. Even more than the marxists and the furries! What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?

Raw-ish numbers and calculations are in this spreadsheet if anyone wants to make their own charts.

They'd also have a very contentious discussion community.

!yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Edit: fixed link.

Edit 2: for clarity, I'm saying the topic is contentious (going to get very opinionated points of view), not saying anything about the mods/admins/users.

Are you surprised the same people who get the most upset about being moderated also abuse moderation the most?

You allow the most disgusting lies in your community then ban people who are reporting them too fast

A million statements from Israel leaders advocating genocide, a million of report about systematic human right abuses from the most reputable human right organizations , a million of videos of Israel terrorist crimes yet you let someone claiming Israel do not target civilians

It is not random, this is truth. You can lie all you want, and many of the people on here will believe you, but we know. You are a Zionist, on Lemmy, as if this was Reddit Banning people for Israel. Fuck that.
