@nutomic@lemmy.ml, a site administrator of lemmy.ml, banned @soferman@lemmy.ml from !worldnews@lemmy.ml. The reason they gave is:

because of your hostile behaviour there. This is something I should have done long ago. The main reason I didnt is that I didnt want to give the impression that you were targeted because of our political disagreements. But the fact is that you are causing too much trouble.

The ban announcement can be found here.

soferman created a post about the question if their ban is justified in !asklemmy@lemmy.ml. They deleted it after I asked them to, because deletion hides the post from front pages but it’s still accessible for review.

      This sounds like a reasonable thing to do. Try to keep it as factual as possible and please don’t open the third thread about this drama.

          long post on it

          I hope you don’t open a new post for it, but post it as comment instead. Maybe just below your initial comment here. Or maybe in one of the other existing comment threads about this.

                that’s not deescalating things and irrelevant to the discussion.

                    I understand, but you could’ve stayed where you jumped to. Not saying you should censor yourself. I, too, have a problem with staying away from conflict. I saw that I am not able to reasonably discuss things with @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml, so I’ll try to stay away from them, or at least not actively engage them or comment their posts from now on to not waste any more of my time. It’d be easier if Lemmy had an ‘ignore’ feature which hid all of their posts but still showed they posted. I was on a forum once where this kind of function replaced their comment texts with ‘this comment has been hidden because you ignored user xy.’ with two links to show the comment or un-ignore them.

              This thread right here is NOT in soferman’s defense. It’s a discussion about the ban, which, in my opinion, was unjustified. I specifically created a separate comment with my own opionion so that other people could add their own. I only put facts in the opening post, without bringing my own opinion in. If you think it’s a good idea to create even more drama to drive people away from Lemmy, feel free.
