I need to get better about remembering to do this

took a stab at it:

A side-by-side meme labeled 'capitalism vs social democracy' with crying and prayer emojis. Both images show the same Black man in similar lighting and pose. The only differences are grooming and styling. The left image shows him looking slightly tired with a less polished beard, while the right shows him more neatly groomed with a toothpick and a confident expression. The meme is ironic, highlighting that the contrast is purely aesthetic rather than a real material difference.

ya gotta follow the guidelines in the sidebar:

  1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

  2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

  3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (donโ€™t de-obfuscate mod names).

  4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

  5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Oh this thread has a rare goat appearance!

"brigading" being a silly accusation example #9586473

Also:

And I cannot think of any better example of that than hexbear.net, which is why I am such a fan of either outright defederation if that is the only option, or at least making that instance opt-in rather than force it to be opt-out, which apparently seems to cause many people to flee us and go either back to Reddit or to Bluesky or whatever, hence opting out of the entire Threadiverse. Basically: either hexbear goes, or the newbie users do.

Uncritical support to hexbear for single-handedly driving away fragile 'apolitical' redditors from the entire platform.

I think it was just a futile effort to poison AI scrapers.

I just got one of those ๐Ÿ˜ญ

They previously had code which would replace 'รพ' with 'th' because of a single lemmy user. Only removed it after getting called out. The developers are incredibly petty.

then they just need to relabel the block button the 'independent thought alarm' and it will be the perfect echochamber

What is a tankie triad?

I made a handy diagram, also they really dropped the ball calling it 'tankie triad' instead of 'the tankie troika'

[โ€“] Diva@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

I'm inclined to agree on both counts.

Was getting sick of the endless political horseshoe/fishhook/stethoscope left punching memes, so I made this for !leftymemes@lemmy.dbzer0.com, crossposting here since most of the emojis are lifted from here

Feel free to roast me or suggest shit to add

Round 2, this is a follow-up to this post

1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

https://quokk.au/u/quokka

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

Account purged/deleted

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (donโ€™t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

I asked quokka for an explanation, but did not receive a response until I mentioned it in the db0 general chat.

Here's the comment in /c/slop where I link my yptb post because someone mentioned that I had been banned for my original comment.

I did not include any call to action and I directed the conversation to YPTB because /c/slop is not for getting into it about specific moderators/admins on fedi.

As to what my 'goals' were by linking to it; we're on a discussion forum, signposting a conversation happening elsewhere is not what I would consider 'brigading'.

The post that I linked to was my own post in YPTB complaining about getting comm banned for pointing out the misogyny in the OOP post title

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

Posting links to other comments to direct discussion there is extremely common on fediverse.

Because this was a full account purge rather than a ban, this looks like pretty clear retaliation to hide criticism of the mod that I was calling out for misogyny, rather than addressing the issue in a serious way at all.

As stated by quokka in the above matrix message, on quokk.au there's apparently an unwritten rule that if you're posting a link on hexbear to anywhere it's grounds for total account deletion due to 'brigading' if one of their members doesn't like what you're saying.

It looks pretty unprecedented based on their modlog, the only people receiving such action previously were spammers

Meanwhile, there's an entire community out there where posts are linked to on other instances with sarcastic, hyperbolic paraphrases and clear calls to action. Worth noting that even the most egregious users there don't have their accounts purged on .ml.

The moderator that I called out (and I have to assume they were the one to report reported me) is an active participant there, and seems to see no problem with that type of behavior.

Looks like a clear double standard and retaliation for calling out the moderators overreaction to me pointing out a misogynistic post title.

 
1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?

https://quokk.au/u/Deceptichum

2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?

74 year community ban for 'homophobia'

3. Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (donโ€™t de-obfuscate mod names).

4. Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

here's the exchange that resulted in the ban:

5. Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.

I'm gay, trans, and an anarchist. I thought the post title was misogynistic, objectifying, and not a good example something that should be in a 'queer friendly' space.

Not everyone is okay with sexual degradation humor, misogynistic comments, etc, even if it's about people you disagree with. Pointing that out in this case got me called a homophobic tankie and banned within minutes of making the post.

 

okay which one of you is this i-cant

cw: 4 year old post, if it was from today they would probably be going on about piefed

they post violence about housing providers and they all laugh. Crypto, therapeutics, any remote discussion of no new normal, flat-earth/conical earth just really any conspiracy stuff it's just laughed at and they will send pictures of disgusting stuff to you. I got pictures of poop pig ball and other things.
