I made a post to https://lemmy.world/c/unpopularopinion

https://aussie.zone/post/34735670

One comment was very rude, so I reported it. Another comment admitted that they were going against the rules of the community and downvoting a post they disagreed with, so I reported it. Two total reports I’ve ever made in that community that I can remember. Suddenly I’m banned by @JonsJava@lemmy.world, who says I’m reporting “everybody” and starts shit talking me publicly in the comments.

I know I’m not supposed to include private communications to “prove my point”, but at least it’s interesting to read.

Tap for inadmissible evidence

They stopped replying after that.

I now know it’s a guideline, not a rule, but Jesus, what an unfriendly community over there. Just a DM explaining it’s not a rule makes sense. Or at least lift the ban after the explanation, and apologise for being so snarky.

    I try not to be a PTB.

    I know at times I can be snarky, but at times it can come off crass.

    With that said, I’d never ban for you airing grievances.
