As stated in the title, I went to some posts and comments that I had bookmarked for some media that I was trying to download. This was on my lemmy.world account. Turns out they’re gone. Doing some digging and found out this community was still up but wasn’t visible on lemmy.world. what happend?
I originally joined up to .world and offered to mod a few communities, cause whatevs I got free time. I saw a fellow mod outright nazi-ing about ( not “saying things I disagree with” but actual nazi fanboy-ing) so asked instance admin if he could be removed as a mod from said community we shared. It was a polite message, and I wasn’t gonna harp or removed about it either way but I figured if he wasn’t removed I’d just leave (no way that’s not coming to a head sooner or later, yknow?) I was immediately banned from the entire instance without even a message or anything about it. Just outright immediately banned.
Sure, if that’s how hard you’re going to bat for nazis I don’t want to be here anyway. Shrug
A claim like this typically requires evidence.
And I provided such evidence to the admin, who then banned me.
Why not provide it to everyone else?
Who would I have a screenshot from an account I had for like 2 weeks, what, two years ago now?
I get it, you’re being disingenuous and want to argue that its only Nazi if its from the Nazi region of Germany, otherwise it’s just sparkling fascism which is actually A-OK or that “um, ackhthually, nobody supports Nazis on the internet.”
Either way, you go dig through two years of mod logs or wtfever. Have fun.
Lemmy.world is about a year old. It definitely wasn’t two years ago.
I think a lot of mods do it because they just have a lack of control in their lives and have this unhealthy need for it (not because they have free time and want to actually help grow the sub). Basically like HOA/Strata. Those guys are literally there not to upkeep the houses and buildings but to just be tyrants telling others what to do. My last HOA was so angry when people would feed the local rabbits (bEcAuSe tHeY MuLtIpLy oUt oF CoNtRoL) that they were threatening fines. I had to get the actual property management involved and the guy I spoke had a tone that he to was so done with them. Basically said that it was illegal and he would talk to them lol. I wouldn’t be surprised if half of them were reddit mods.
Wow, that’s a very ruud instance owner.

I’m not terribly surprised to hear that. I would have grumbled but accepted some sort of “hurrdurr free speech” spiel but an instaban definitely says to me “these are my personal politics you’re fucking with.”
