I’m asking in good faith here, not trying to start a fight but if my understanding of the content that person posted is correct (abjectly transphobic) then why was their perma ban changed to a 2 day ban?

Frippa got two days for posting a statue with a dick, this clown posted hateful shit and gets the same punishment?

That doesn’t seem right at all.

If this was an accident fair enough but the mod log doesn’t give us justification for these decisions and it leaves it open to speculation and having their ban changed to 2 days seems sus af.

If this is something to do with lemmy vs lemmygrad then fair enough can that be explained please.

Thank you.

    It wasn’t porn it was that famous Michealangelo marble statue that they got banned for due to it being a troll post iirc.

    I’m all for keeping porn off here but personally while I thought frippa’s initial post was crass and valid to be removed (this was the mod team of 196’s agreement) I think categorising it as porn in the mod log was unhelpful and directly contributed to them posting the statue picture and getting banned for trolling.

    Whether than ban is justified or not isn’t really my point, in regards to frippa I think we need to readdress what is agreed to be porn and what is just material that isn’t desirable because calling everything porn when it’s not makes us look like wacky anti-art Christians vs practising communists.

      Frippa posted a cringe drawing of a penis, not something anyone here should see, especially since we have a lot of underage users. After it was reported, then removed, they started troll-posting the same pic but with a covering over the penis, then michelangelo. Just standard trolling that should not in any way be allowed.

      You can see their removed posts in the modlog.

      edit: also I don’t want community mods to feel like us admins are stepping on your toes, but we do have instance-wide rules against that type of content.

        We don’t feel like you stepped on our toes, we agreed with the decision.

        My personal point is that I don’t think categorising it as porn was helpful or accurate in the modlog and I think that contributed to them acting out hence the statue post with the title including “porn” or a reference to that.

        “Explicit/problematic imagery” was what i intended to remove the post under and I think that articulates better why the post itself was unacceptable.

          That was my bad, I pry could’ve spent more time thinking about a better ban message.

            I get your point though, removing the content was the priority given minors are on here.

        No not at all, I’m not trying to come across aggressive or anything, sorry if I did 😪

        I just think there’s lessons to be learnt from both this scenario and how frippa’s ban was presented in the modlog to make sure that its actually transparent.
