I don’t have time to deal with drama on the fediverse

X doubt

Also getting asked to do something is really not included in my definition of powertripping. BPR

Could you point to the “valid opinions” you mention? I can’t really find them…

Pointing out that a person was an annoying shithead in a previous conversation about a related topic (and tries to do so again) shouldnt get you banned. But the way you worded it in the removed comment really makes it easy to misunderstand your intent. Did you try to talk about this with the mods before posting here? I think it could be genuine mistake / misunderstanding of the situation.

Had OP even used half of the effort you went trough playing devils advocate for their comment, I am pretty sure their comment would have stayed up.

Sometimes actions have consequences. And getting banned in one of dozens of anarchist communities on the Fediverse is really not a big consequence.

Small tip: If you truly believe that what you did was homophobic, dont put “homophobia” in quotes. This makes it seem like you are not actually using your own words and are actually not meaning it.

you could check your modlog: https://slrpnk.net/modlog?userId=23146731

You do not receive notifications for moderator actions on your post/comments/account, but you can regularly check this page.

(also I think lemmy should implement moderation notifications)

Freedom of association is always a two way street. If one party removes their consent, than there is no free and consensual association possible.

Saying someone has a tiny penis is not as great as an insult as you might think it is.

If five people agree on a thing and one does not, then the one person is probably wrong.

Like yeah if fice fascist walk into a community moderated by me, I definitely will let them stay because they are 5 and I am only one… /s

While I stated in my comment that Lemmy does not support democratic processes natively, there are attempts to circumvent that such as [email protected] to implement these with work around. On Reddit there were also times when r/Anarchism was moderated through an additional subreddit, where moderation actions were voted on.

I agree that that this is not democratic. This is not really the fault of the moderator tho, Lemmy is not built to support democratic processes. As a moderator I see some potential scenarios where I would remove / lock an active post:

• The participants are actually breaking the rules of the instance/community.
• The amount/location of comments is not feasible to moderate and the small group of participants should change the app for their conversation.
• The conversation might not really break the current rules but still might not fit the community or be against the spirit of the community.

Btw, as a moderator of [email protected] I would remove your post because it actually breaks the community rules and disregards the posting guideline. Not a mod here tho. The intent of the community seems to be discussions of concrete mod actions and not just unspecific patters of perceived behaviors.
