This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:

Content WarningGraphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.

While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.

Am I crazy or is the modlog missing heaps?

I control-f for the 'I to complain?' part of the post above and don't see anything. Just trying to follow the argument is confusing as hell? It sounds like someone doxxed FS, and he got suicidal over it? I hope gets some help if he's seriously feeling like that.

The modlog, as far as I can tell, gets sorted in the same order as user profiles do, by default. Which is to say "here's some recent stuff okay let's skip over some stuff hey here's some random stuff from two months ago that's pretty good right? I have been drinking FYI."

I could be wrong about this. I definitely feel like I have seen it be missing stuff even without mod purges though. Searching for the specific community or specific user / moderator you're looking for is usually pretty reliable, as long as there aren't pages and pages of results, then the same issue seems like it might occur.

Yeah, admins can purge stuff from the mod log. That comment seems to be completely gone.

People over at .world def purged stuff from mod log regarding me. Granted I wasn't suicidal, so def wasn't important, but they still purged some stuff. They def wanted to paint a particular narrative of me.

They say they banned me for abusive PM's. But I haven't seen any evidence of those PM's or what they considered "abusive." Even after I asked them to publish these "abusive emails" for everyone to see.

So yeah, they definitely can make up shit on their own over there.

Having said that, sounds like both people involved in this interchange need help. Why the fuck do people take shit on Lemmy so seriously?!

that comment specifically was a link to a graphic image, so yes the admins certainly purged that. cc @Deceptichum@quokk.au

It's not really a black or white issue.
