1. Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards
2. What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Community Ban
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 have not posted there)
Likewise the community has no rules listed, so I’m not sure how I’ve broken rule 4
Davel is probably going to try to claim me downvoting a post or comment of his that popped up on my feed or something as me breaking the entire instances rule 4 (no spam?) - which is why I need to be banned only from one community I don’t engage in.
Lemmy.ml admin Davel has been rage downvoting my posts a lot lately, even going so far as to downvote me telling real legitimate antisemites to ‘fuck off’.
Even CowBee had the decency to admit they were in the wrong and change their ragevote to an upvote.
Davel however seems to especially thinskinned even for the typical .ML’er and would rather double down and engage in poorly disguised retaliation bans for criticisms of a political ideology.
This thought terminating behaviour on display by one of the admins of such a reputable and outstanding instance as Lemmy.ml was not at all warranted and I hereby call on the leadership at lemmy.ML to unban me so that I may continue to not post in their community.
the lack of effective blocking is what really kills Lemmy….
it’s like it was custom made for harassment and brigading.
If I block someone - I never see their content, posts, or messages to me again.
What aspect is ineffective?
In most cases, you’d want a block to go both directions. Imagine you’re being stalked by a user. In its current implementation, blocking that user won’t stop the stalking, because they can still see and interact with your posts. You simply won’t be able to see their interactions. If they comment on your post, you won’t see it because you have them blocked. But your block does not prevent them from seeing, voting on, or commenting on your post.
Essentially, lemmy’s current block function works more like a mute. When you “block” someone, you’re just muting their interactions so you don’t see the harassment. But it doesn’t actually stop them from harassing you. It just ensures you can’t see it to stay on top of it. To use the earlier stalker example, what if they’re amping up their stalking and have started doxxing you, and you’re completely oblivious because you’re not seeing their responses to your posts?
most other fediverse softwares have blocks run two ways to reduce risk of harm via stalking, brigading, and dogpiling. there’s a difference between muting someone and blocking them on things like mastodon. on lemmy blocks are equivalent to mutes on mastodon
I can see how that would be very helpful to some people. Thanks for explaining
If you can’t see someone’s posts then they’re blocked for all that matters. Anyone wanting more than that is being too precious.
this someone can still follow you and downvote everything you post, and comment on everything you post, and all you’ve done is make it so you can’t tell.
So if you can’t tell, why does it matter? People that do that do it for the attention you give them. If you’re not giving them any attention because they’re blocked, they go away.
I mean… I guess that’s not ideal? On the other hand, they keep wasting their time, and I get on with my life. So I’m OK with it this way.
that’s fine if you assume it’s just one single person and you’re still on the 1997 internet
Well now I’m not sure what you’re after. If it turns into brigading that’s a separate issue, and blocking one or two users from seeing your post won’t fix that, right?
Adding features to stop that is actually counter revolutionary, if you don’t like spam you’re actually a liberal.
Idk if it’s even rage downvoting when op does vindictive stuff like this https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/58724904
Or doing exactly what they’re complaining about here to that same user
i’m not offering an opinion on that, i’m talking only about the ineffectiveness of “blocking” on lemmy
