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’ve had more Lemmy stalkers from the .world instance than any other instance.

    You get the most X from the instance with the most users? Say it isn’t so!

      Hmm, you do make a good point. But I still think the .world people skew more extreme when it comes to fixation. Maybe it’s just because of numbers, but my point still stands.

      I also never had anyone from any other instances, or from Reddit (a much bigger platform), getting together and writing actual computer programs about me, all just so they could try to figure out my location by the times I’m posting. Yeah, that happened.

      .world mods didn’t do anything about it either. That’s a level of weird unique to .world in my experience.

      But I don’t want to veer off from OP’s issue. I meant my comments as a personal aside about how extreme Lemmy can be, which can also lead to the situation OP is having with PTB’s on .world
