I resolved to do better, and the way I go about it is with transparency.

A laudable goal. But one you are so clearly not actually attempting to live up to. If you were, you might have realised all the people telling you that you’re being a lower tripping hastard have a point.

You can’t ban a person for saying “get rid of genocidal institutions” and then claim it was a Just act on the basis of a no violence policy.

If you were a good mod, you’d say “mea culpa. I made a mistake. Let me reverse it and unban the user.” But you’re not a good mod, you’re a power tripping bastard who has doubled down every single time you get called out—except for all the times you’ve chosen to try to deflect the conversation into irrelevancy.

Happy cake day!

They don’t hate me personally, they hate being moderated.

Nope. We hate moderators making up bullshit to silence people they want silenced. We hate capricious moderators who can’t follow their own rules.

I like how you quote the thing that proves you wrong and say “hey, this proves me right.”

fwiw, I’ve never even heard of the movie 1900 before, let alone seen it. I think I’ve only seen 1 Depardieu movie…maybe 1.5 (not sure if he has a cameo/archive appearance in the 2nd film of the pair): Jean de Florette.

But anyway, yeah I think your edit here really hits the mark. The comment is just so clearly not a call for violence. Both the context in which it was made and the content of it make that very clear.

I like how every chance you get, you choose to avoid addressing the actual issue of why you’re banning users for breaking a rule that they very clearly did not break. You choose to concentrate on the part where I hurt your feelings 😭 instead of the underlying lie that the other user was inciting violence in the comment that got them banned.

Take your bitch ass to Jon like you did with Wren, go on, I fucking DARE you.

Lol, nice job completely misreading what happened there… I have to assume it’s on purpose.

So, because an earlier comment was interpreted as inciting violence, a user is no longer allowed to amend their point to more narrowly criticise the institutions that are causing genocide? That’s some serious bullshit you’re pulling there. If that’s the level of logic you’re using, I have little doubt you’ll find some justification for “I’ll have to permaban them before the month is over” to end up being true, that a mod attempting to actually apply rules with a modicum of fairness or common sense would not.

It’s not “defending genocide” to say !world@lemmy.world does not allow advocating violence.

Do you really intend to stick to this line? Do you ever intend to address the fact that it has been very clearly pointed out that the comment that got the other user, @theacharnian@lemmy.ca, banned was not a call to violence? Or will you keep deflecting and ignoring that part in order to maintain the facade?

Seems to be. It’s certainly where I’d prefer to post, although it’s not clear to me what its intent is. What makes “world” news? Non-American? That’s my assumption for the LW one. But on quokk.au is it non-Australian?

Regardless, where I choose to post doesn’t help when I’m commenting on another post. Which is most often the case in any world news Community.

And yet when I went point by point explaining how the comment that you banned the other user for clearly was not a call to violence, you banned me instead. You still have not attempted to justify how you believe it was a call to violence.

In the absence of even an attempt to justify you actions otherwise, the only obvious interpretation is that you want to avoid criticism of Israel’s genocide.

Oh geez, it gets even worse.

According to the mod @jordanlund@lemmy.world, even just advocating an end to genocide is worthy of a ban. Like, when you’re really specific and say you’re talking about ending institutions that are doing genocide rather than people, that gets you a ban.

And so is calling out a person who is advocating for genocide by their choice to silence anti-genocide views. (Officially, my ban was for being mean, but let’s be honest, the real reason is that they felt called out over their support for genocide.)

Don’t get paid for donating in Aus.

No, you can’t move the existing account. But I think you can export your settings, including subscribed communities.

It might be a good idea to add a description to your lemm.ee account saying what your new account is, kinda like a forwarding address, because people will still be able to view your old account from their instances.

Better article including video of the assault and description of the police’s woeful response to it.

I mean yeah, the Australian Antarctic Territory (that we basically inherited from the UK, IIRC) is fucking massive. But it’s also what we call an “external territory”, so I wasn’t counting it.

The internal territories are the Northern Territory (practically a state for our purposes here) and the Australian Capital Territory (similar to America’s District of Columbia, but with real legislative representation!). Oh, and the Jervis Bay Territory, but for most practical intents and purposes that’s another arm of the ACT.

lol

Sincerely, Australia; where two states are bigger than Alaska, and all but 2 states and 1 of 2 real internal territories are bigger than itty-bitty Texas.

Why is the open source Chromium ranked worse than Google Chrome?

This isn’t about you. Stop trying to make it so

You didn’t bait me. I wasn’t making this about me. But since you apparently are (because how else could this entire comment be interpreted), I’ll reiterate: you abused your mod powers by banning me in retaliation for me using the normal process of reporting rule-breaking content just because you don’t like having it pointed out that you broke your own rules.

The bait was at Nay. Nearly every one of your comments in that thread before I ever got involved was baiting them. From the very first:

No, but It beats communism any day of the week.

I don’t know how that can be seen as anything other than bait, considering the context of the post was criticising the problems with capitalism. It’s whataboutism at its finest. You follow that up with:

And how many years do you personally have living under a different socioeconomic system?

Which, again, is bait. Not only is it not relevant (again, we don’t have to praise everything about communism to point out the ways capitalism is bad), it’s also extremely patronising. By the way, my answer is either 6 or 0, depending on what you count. With that experience, I can tell you that “Actually Existing Socialism”, as the tankies like to call it, fucking sucks. The censorship (not unlike that you yourself seem to be a fan of, through your actions) is extremely stifling, the rampant corruption is much worse than we see in developed western nations

Then, when given an answer, you extremely rudely respond:

Did I ask you?

This is asking someone to be rude to you back. They even tried to play nice in the follow-up, giving you an actual answer to the question. To which you again responded

did I ask you?

And you have the fucking gall to ban them for calling you “sweetie” after that? Oh, wait, no. You pat yourself on the back for just “warning” them over this. The nerve!

You do not get to pretend you had the high ground here. Not in the slightest.

What’s ridiculous is that you baited a user with your incredibly poor behaviour and then banned them for reacting it your bait, and expect people not to call you out for it.

It might be bullshit

I mean, that mod has piped up in here claiming I reported “all their comment” (a lie) and that I did it in response to them disagreeing with my comment (another lie). So to me the answer is pretty obvious.
