Primarily hexbear for me

Haven’t had to deal with: “agreeing with a post, then harassed by a few comments then banned with comment deleted” with /c/vegan yet but I understand the struggle.

The mod there was mad banning people who downvoted anything on the sub and got evicted

/C/shitpost for me, lawl.

The vegan thing is a dumpster fire. They had a mod go off the deep end and start banning everyone.

I really don’t get how people let modding go to their heads. I. Mod a few small communities and big whoop. Even if I modded a bigger one, there is a broad line between acceptable content on Lemmy and unacceptable content. Just because you have a contrary or shit take does not mean you need to be banned. Just because people are getting butthurt doesn’t mean you need to ban offenders. Diversity of opinion is a good thing for a community, unless that opinion supports Nazism or some other shit which promotes hatred.

Yep, so much of Reddit is like that… Creating an adversarial relationship with users …and just like YouTube slowing down people using ad blockers, or games demanding people be online, it will eventually drive people away.

Death by a thousand self-inflicted cuts.

also some communities have their mods completely replaced since Reddit’s api changes, because the former mods didn’t want to cooperate

I discovered that it happened for r/piracy and it’s one of the main reasons I got to lemmy since they have a big community here

anyway it makes sense that these replaced mods hate the community, it’s the reason they are there in the first place

Context?

I haven’t been there in over a year now, but it sounds about the same as it was then.

Here on Lemmy we just defederate with horrible instances and start our own communities!

I assume op was appropriately banned but enjoys a nice out of context whine about big bad reddit

Clbull OP ,

Actually, the screenshots of the ban messages were found via a Google image search and are not me.

But yeah, Reddit has a problem with rude power mods swinging their banhammer. It’s been documented for years.

AlexWIWA ,

The reason bans are permanent more often these days is because of the new Reddit ui. It defaults to permanent and too many mods are lazy.

It’s getting worse in more ways than one, I wouldn’t argue against that. But getting banned isn’t something I’ve come across. Posts removed or zero engagement on comments? Yes, all the time.

I feel like the way to get banned from /parenting is to bring up anti-natalism or childfree.
