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.

    given your reasoning it’s not hard to see that you were willing to do this and you could have easily continued down this path.

    What exactly are you basing this on, because from what I read, I got “I thought it was a rule violation so I reported it,” which doesn’t exactly support your idea.

      To clarify what I meant there, I’m not saying that they were willing to continue despite what the moderator said.

      I meant that they would have continued to report other users for this reason until someone pointed out to them that this isn’t really a rule violation.
