Will it be effective?

Spoiler

No, it was not very effective.

EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.

EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!

EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!

EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the !vegan@lemmy.world community, as a result of their abuse of power.

This was their response:

EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:

The users at lemmy.world basically already drove the mods in that community to suggest vegan communities on other instances to basically not have to put up with the rest of lemmy.world. It's a dead community walking and the whole ordeal convinced me to block .world. I've seen less content, but damn has my experience on Lemmy gotten a whole lot better.

You'll probably never see this, but I applaud you. Isn't that the whole point of the fediverse? You can control who and what you see, and if you ever change your mind you can easily undo it. (And I get it, everybody needs a safe space sometimes.)

PSA, stop trying to use the Reddit syntax of /c/vegan, it's !vegan@lemmy.world. The exclamation mark is what makes it a link. Also please always include the instance the community is hosted on or it will link to different places for different users.

It's funny how many trolls and crazy people are attracted to positions of power, I suspect it's compensation. That last message says it all. Their user seems to have been nuked, at least in their home instance. Ironic they had to remove the same mod they not only criticized but also continued criticized in their remove mod post unironically. Does this mean they will move back to lemmy.world? Didn't they move out to lemmy.ml?

Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.

Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc

(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
