Can I see all the communities I'm banned from on Lemmy somewhere?
Can I see all the communities I'm banned from on Lemmy somewhere?
These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I'd like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I'm wondering if there's a list?
If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?
Yeah, it must be the numerous different "nutty" mods! It's definitely not you that's the common denominator here!
Right? "I've been banned from enough communities on different topics that I can't keep track! Could it be that I'm an asshat? No, it's definitely the mods..."
I looked at the modlog and while OP seems snarky, sarcastic, and opinionated, their bans seem pretty unnecessary by my standards. The stated reasons seem fairly dubious, more mod finds your opinion disagreeable than any rule-breaking.
Moderation on Lemmy is a shit show honestly.
I mean, moderators are just people. When you put people to act as a judge, whether being in a court of law, or a internet forum, its the same problem with people having their own biases. Lemmy is new, has a small pool of users, there is a smaller selection of people to act as mods. But Lemmy is not run as a bussiness like reddit, so the instance admins that are just fediverse enthusiasts can step in and remove mods that are just powetripping, unlike reddit that doesn't want to do anything about it
I mean there are some shit mods man. I got banned from a community once because I criticized a New York Post article. Said it was baseless and there was no substance to it. I guess the guy was mad that I correctly identified the source.
I got banned once for saying the holocaust was one of many genocides throughout history and not unique...
Edit: I'm really curious to know if people downvoting the above statement think Nazis invented the genocide?
But that was one case, of course there are some mods that are just shit (or maybe just interpreted things wrong, made a mistake or acted based on emotions for various reasons) but if it's this many cases, it becomes kinda hard to believe that all of those mods are the issue and not the person getting banned by multiple mods
reddit and lemmy are nearly homogenous in terms of humor and politics and personality. there's a way to speak so that your comments aren't misunderstood and it often means prefacing what you're about to say with some context that wouldn't otherwise be needed, or ending with /s or something like that. if you've been here long enough you forget how weird this is
In my experience, that's just the .world instance and its associated halo of federated communities.
It's actually really cool how there's multiple spheres of culture on lemmy, which are more and less Reddity.
Are you saying there aren't a metric fuckton of power-tripping nutjobs in self-appointed positions of authority in the Fediverse?
I mean, most other people here aren't banned on so many communities that we want a way to display all the communities we're banned on
Bootlicker will always side with authority by default, it is a human condition and one of the mean reasons why we are getting fucked. The harder normie bootlicks, the harder daddy owner fucks us. It starts with basic shit like this but goes all the way up.
I think some Fediverse mods are more extreme and biased than their equivalent on Reddit.
For example, criticizing the anti-men stance (as in: nothing to do with feminism) promoted by jlai.lu admins for example got me my ban. My first ever ban despite being very active on Reddit for 10 years prior to migrating to Lemmy.
Smaller communities do feel like an echo chamber as a consequence.
PS: sh.itjust.works admins do look fine though!
