You again.
When you get into arguments with this many people, you should ask yourself if maybe you're the problem.
isnt linkerban "famous" for being a total jerk?
As famous as someone can be on here.
at this point, why not setup your own instance + communities so you can do whatever you please?
If it was just this guy, he'd be defederated from everywhere within days.
Yeah many instances don't take kindly to admins using their abilities to circumvent bans, which he would almost certainly do if he were an admin.
What did you post ?
would be good to know the context here?
Context: Linkerbaan whines every time he gets banned for incivility and blames Zionism for it. And it happens on an almost daily basis.
Yeah he's one of the more problematic users on Lemmy, that's why I put together a little guide on how to ban users with the API since that allows preemptive banning that can prevent dealing with problematic users like this before they start trouble in communities.
Once more, do not downvote posts because you think they deserved it. Use the YDI vote for that.
I think many people are downvoting him not simply because he deserved it but because it's very obvious and consistent bellyaching about being sanctioned for blatant rule violations.
That's still a comment vote.
Fair enough.
Is there anyway to have a bot counting the votes and have a results table? That might encourage people to use the letters system rather than up/down votes
No, but we didn't have nearly enough traffic to warrant this. But if someone makes one, I'll allow it.
YDI
I feel like these are invaluable instructions to any moderator dealing with him, or worried they might have to deal with him in the future.
Is there a phrase to describe someone latching on to a cause not out of a good faith desire to help it, but to use its rhethoric as a shield in order to attack as many people as their typing speed will allow?
YDI. Nothing more to really say, it's all been said.

This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Rules
- Post only about bans or other sanctions from mod(s).
- Provide the cause of the sanction (e.g. the text of the comment).
- Provide the reason given by the mods for the sanction.
- Don't use private communications to prove your point. We can't verify them and they can be faked easily.
- Don't deobfuscate mod names from the modlog with admin powers.
- Don't harass mods or brigade comms. Don't word your posts in a way that would trigger such harassment and brigades.
- Do not downvote posts if you think they deserved it. Use the comment votes (see below) for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
- PTB - Power-Tripping Bastard: The commenter agrees with you this was a PTB mod.
- YDI - You Deserved It: The commenter thinks you deserved that mod action.
- BPR - Bait-Provoked Reaction: That mod probably overreacted in charged situation, or due to being baited.
- CLM - Clueless mod: The mod probably just doesn't understand how their software works.
