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.
All posts should follow this basic structure:
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.
YPTB matrix channel: For real-time discussions about bastards or to appeal mod actions in YPTB itself.
Some acronyms you might see.
Relevant comms
and all I got was an unhinged message and a bunch of confusing bans a day later
Just to remind everyone, the list is an active and ever changing document. The list has been growing slightly every day, and if you use differential compare in something like Kate, you can see the changes when you download the json again. Guess what, you got your wish!
Well, I’ll be… I can still make the cut?! Yeehaw! Come on gang, let’s go fuck up a Nazi’s day.
Eh, I feel it's kinda cheating at this point. If I didn't organically make the list,I don't want to ask for it. That being said, those are my feelings and won't fault anyone for asking for the honor.
I was on the list before it was cool
Yeah. You can't SEO into the list.
Oh my god he's still fucking doing this???
Weird. Last time I checked they'd removed or made it private. Guess they don't care anymore that people can see it while also saying those who are looking at it are mentally handicapped?
Well if the followup doubling down post about the situation is to be believed, that basically is the case. The cat is out of the bag, and taking the filter down would allow "violent crazies" to impede upon the "Tesseract experience," after all.
The fact that they turned off commenting on it is funny. Like how much of a snowflake do you think it is a good idea to instead of using a block button to use a hidden code to force other users to follow your own thinking. How unsecured they seem.
It's streisanding like crazy as a result. If he'd allowed comments all the crazy would be on his posts. But he's disallowed so now the discussion is happening EVERYWHERE else in thousands of posts on all instances
Other folks' consent was simply less important than their need to secretly silence others with malware. The worst part about it is I could envision a plan where this list was broken up into various categories, and with a little bit of good rhetoric, could've convinced a percentage of people to willingly give them some control over their feed. It could've been fully transparent with some simple toggles, they would've got some power, and their reputation wouldn't be in the gutter. Not exactly the ideal person to trust to make your auto blacklist(s), but hey, that'd be a vastly different conversation than the one that's happening now.
Completely unsurprising they are still blaming everyone else and doing no self reflection.
Along with the only place they attempted to explain themselves was removed by a mod that seems to want to protect the person and or tesseract
Edit, oh and they've done another follow up post in response to continue anger at users for not liking the shit tesseract does
There's been an another doubling down with an extra edit to double the downing: https://lemmy.today/post/57202811
I do feel bad they're getting harassing DMs and death threats though, that is taking it too far. But I don't know what sort of reaction they expected from doing something so underhanded and then taking the high road after.
Oh yeah, that's fucked up. The kind of people who make that big of a deal out of it, enough to send threats, are reinforcing his reasoning. It sucks that he's stuck inside the meat grinder now, but he did throw himself in.
He changed the repo because people were forking it wirh things like "removing bullshit censorship" and he considers that bullying the big meanies
This meltdown keeps getting better and better
I do find it hilarious that the same people who say the Lemmy (the software) is shadowy and evil, while they do this and PieFed deletes users and tracks votes and limits them, while having a hard coded limit on memes and warns users of websites the software dev doesn't like. Not even getting into how PieFed now punishes users who use it too much.
At least the Lemmy devs keep their actions to .ml, it's easy to avoid if you don't like it. I sure as shit don't.
But leave to the people who find online communists the real threat instead of the fascists in office to dictate what you can and can't say on things, beyond their home instance.
The ones who concern troll about dangers with the software of Lemmy being controlled by the lemmyDevs, while doing that exact thing on piefed or their own UI projects. Every accusation is a confession apparently.
Again. This is a user who's said multiple times they're leaving lemmy and their instance is read only.
and is a committed dev because of that
Without the context of the DM itself I can't say PTB for sure. But PTB seems the most likely, given. You know. Everything.
Oh yeah no I was totally being an asshole to him
So absolutely in BPR territory, but also funny as fuck
I also had my, I think very measured, response to this whole thing removed
Blocked from Tesseract and some lemmy.world instances. I fail to see the problem. Your fediverse experience may even improve in quality.
Hah!
I just straight up trolled him on a few comms he moderates, and then blocked them, and then him, and then his alt.
"what are you gonna do, ban me?"
He can kiss my entire asshole, censorious fucking coward.
I play by rules when people are civilized.
Only, when people are civilized.
I've been trying to up my toxicity game lately. One day I'll get on that list too perchance 🥺? 👉👈
The question mark just means that 🥺 is optional
Maybe I'll just say perchance in every post so they don't have to see me lol
I'm on the list!!!
I'm not on the list with you all; you're all on the list me with me! Welcome aboard the hate train! 🤣
I guess I've been too apolitical, I'm sad to not be on the list.
I was semi-surprised to be on the list. I actually like the guys front-end and have no issues with him. But I have never ever in a million years advocated violence. In fact, I have spoken up against violence (and got heavily downvoted for doing so).
Obviously I'm aware that there was a huge misinformation campaign against me brought on by people mad that I support third-party voting in US elections (and they still do it!), but to see myself on a "violence" list is crazy. Lots of people have talked shit about me because I speak up against violence!
The list seem sorta random when looking at the names though. But hey, you speaking in this community just may get you on the list now! lol
We're at the point it wouldn't surprise me if simply saying nazis aren't welcome or it's okay to punch nazis in the context of here's the simple way to get nazi defenders to appear by saying this simple line was enough for them to put people on the list
Just using the word 'perchance' or 'beans' would get you on the list, lol.
ask and ye shall receive 🧞
This is humble bragging
Most thinned skin faschy
Wait.
WE CAN FIND OUT HOW WE GOT ON THE LIST?
I probably spell-checked some diatribe, and suggested being able to spell a word is a crucial requirement for convincing people of your authority in the matter. It's like how we don't applaud a tenor for clearing his throat.
Well shit and I'm still not on it. I feel like DM is cheating but now everyone is doing it and I don't want to fall behind...
