When having to admit their fault the moderator started looking for arbitrary reasons to ban me. Such as not using the exact terminology of the Amnesty report. Which does not call it genocide.
The moderator is also watching user votes, and calling out people not voting with him.
Seeing how Goat tried to ping db0 because they voted in the thread to drag them into debate, I’m gonna go with PTB on this one.
If they wanted to prove their point, they should have given links that proved their point.
On top of everything else, using mod/admin privileges to reveal users’ votes is just bad form.
The main reason reddit is shit is because it’s so easy to manipulate votes. I’m happy most lemmy instances have public voting.
Reddit is easy to sockpuppet because it’s a corporation with one primary goal: MUA go up. Ad sales and user data sales. If the vote manipulation and shill posts/comments don’t hurt user engagement metrics then they don’t care.
User votes are public on Lemmy. One should be held accountable for their votes
The only reason they’re “public” is an artifact of ActivityPub’s architecture that can’t be designed around, because if it could be, it would be. Users who continue to expose votes after being warned may get banned (which thankfully is extremely rare so far). Instances like lemvotes.org get defederated.
They are held accountable, by the mods & admins. Vote spam/manipulation accounts get banned.
Depends on the instance I think.
So correct me if I’m wrong but regular mods can’t see it and only admins.
So this is just an anecdotal impression but when lemvotes came online, a few mods and users got called out for their zionist voting. After that, the amount of pro Israel propaganda being upvoted, posted and commented went down by quite a bit.
It’s too much to ask of admins imo, going through downvotes. More importantly, I’d rather the bad actors have potentially any one of us to fear instead of a just a handful of already too busy admins.
Of course. I can only speak to lemmy.ml. Other instance admins are welcome to add their 2¢.
Until recently that was true, but I think mods can now see the votes in their communities.
Could be. I think at least one instance has built tooling/automation around it. The thing is, dealing with users getting into arguments/fights/vendettas over votes may also be a lot to ask of admins.
Regular mods can see since a few months now. I didn’t use to be the case.
God that seems like a bad idea.
Never mind that anarchists are explicitly anti-authoritarian, apparently db0 is a tankie now? Lol, yep checks out. Those twatwaffles think a “tankie” is anyone who is critical of the Dems, or of US foreign policy. OPs comments were also accurate imo regarding China’s influence in Myanmar being a much stronger example of Chinese imperialism.
The libs have got some nerve getting hysterical about the Uyghurs when they obviously couldn’t give two shits about their own government (and their own party) continually voting to keep supplying weapons to Israel in order to continue its genocide in Gaza. Has China been shitty and authoritarian towards the Uyghurs? Yes, no doubt. Is it a genocide of the type and scale that Israel is currently waging? Absolutely not.

I always said it was only a matter of time before the social fascists that call MWoG their home would turn on even dbzer0. It’s the classic Nazi bar, they outright fabricate info, erase context, welcome Zionists and other fascists, it was only a matter of time before they got even greedier and started attacking anarchists for being “tankies.”
It’s not a coincidence that they call us “roaches” or “degenerates,” it’s because it’s a cryptofash meeting spot.
Edit: lmao, seems I pissed off the social fascist. I couldn’t even engage if I wanted to interact with your Nazi bar, because PJ bans me from every comm they mod because they lost an argument in a comm they don’t mod. Go fuck yourself, fascist. Keep spreading hasbara, keep tending your garden of Zionists. Palestine will be free, and there’s nothing you can do to stop that.
Based
didnt u ban me from a community for no reason
For “violating the disengage rule” so no, not for “no reason”.
