oh tactically they/theming is a classic move
also their post on YPTB: https://lemmy.world/post/42787278
can you fix this in the post, I think they use they/them
"oh they're obnoxious"
damn right I am 
here's one I ran into just last week, someone claiming to have been unfairly modded on .ml, when they had received a temp ban because they were actually advocating for collective punishment of russian civilians "because it's the only thing that Russia will understand":
Come on feds this is some of your weakest ever work, it can be shut down in less text than exists on the propaganda, do better.
I actually watched this in action in a group chat I'm in (national chat so I know basically nobody in it).
-
new person expresses positive opinion of PSL re: protests
-
dude links red flags document (I actually checked this at the time and was like hell no I'm not clicking on a google document link)
-
Gets dogpiled by clique of people (like 4-5 in a big chat)
-
they start accusing the new person of trolling every time they chime in to any conversation
-
eventually gets kicked for refusing to take them seriously
for being very concerned about "high control groups" they were being highly controlling
but the censorship makes it impossible.
the vast majority of the time I look into the supposed censorship on .ml it's someone being bigoted or insulting the person they're responding to
Edit: A period of time where the proletariat organizes power to eliminate the bourgeoisie in order to get rid of those previous class divides, is not authoritarianism.
It is though, you are being authoritarian toward the bourgeois in that case.
They're not all going to consent to having their property redistributed.
a discord
discord 
it is .world which has the discord server, there isn't even a matrix chat for .ml as far as I know.
Why do you say that?

Account purged on quokk.au for 'brigading' due to linking to a YPTB post about their moderation
(lemmy.ml)
Round 2, this is a follow-up to this post
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 (don’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 (don’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 
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.
