Was having a conversation with a mod who was upset that I downvoted their opinion. Apparently if you disagree, you are banned. Looking at you @CHEFKOCH@lemmy.ml. I wouldn’t consider anything I did trolling or a violation of the rules of c/scandalzilla.

Here is the post if anyone wants to validate: https://lemmy.ml/post/163594

    I’ve only ever seen posts from them that are mostly power abuse. They act like they’re better than anyone else and bans anyone who disagrees. They very much have an inferiority complex.

    Edit: I came to lemmy to avoid people high on power, not have the powermods of Reddit come to take over here as well.

    If someone mods more than 5 communities I’m generally wary of them until they prove themselves not power hungry

      Yup, he banned me for criticizing a bloomberg article lol

      I feel like he can do his thing on his own communities, but it is annoying when he posts in !linux, and then when the post becomes popular, he deletes it =/

      We’re discussing it in the admin chat whether to do anything about them. They have mostly been doing it on their own communities, but to me having lemmy be a pleasant experience is more important than mod’s “freedom to do what they want with their communities”.

        Respect for discussing it, regardless of the outcome. Even if you end up going with allowing the mods to have free reign, I’m glad that it’s going to be discussed instead of turning a blind eye like Reddit does.

          The user reported it with no reason and then aggressively down-vote everything + providing no evidence for his argument, even if community rules are clear on that, this is not discussing, it is trying to find arguments to justify that I take legitimate content down, which I will not be a part of.

          The smart way is to block users as well as communities in your settings instead of making it worse, creating more work for the moderators and then cry afterwards when you get banned for not providing any evidence at all.

          You btw reported the topic it for no reason, except troll without providing anything, not evidence just nothing. I think if you accuse others of childish behavior you need to see the full picture first.

          That you have interest here in this is thread is crystal clear, you dislike I did not take his content down or ban the user, now you pretend you discuss anything or that you have interest in discussion, you did not even had the respect to discuss this, you simply report it.

          I never take legitimate things down, even if people want me to do that, his post is and remains legitimate and there is nothing to debate here.

          It does not surprises me that Reddit hides such things because the drama is not worth it, he got banned, cannot handle it and here we are. Simple payback.

        I’m glad to hear that its being discussed, but I’m not sure what the best course of action would be in this scenario. It seems that each has their drawbacks, including doing nothing.

          Don’t outright ban them from lemmy.ml or something like that, a little bit of drama is healthy I believe. Nothing bad has happened yet I think.

        Chef-Koch is NOT a suitable mod. Please, he has a history of steal others works and be a total jerk during discussion. Don’t give this kind of power to a person who will abuse it. I know you are in a difficult time, but please keep attention to who you are giving mod’s power

        Edit: I’m stupid and thought this was “admin” privilege, sorry. I was terrified for a moment

        • I reviewed the OP user as well as his content, or in this case his question and my decision on this is okay and justified. People dislike it for no reason, just report it with - troll - without anything and I reviewed it again. No evidence for or against provided, just random people who clown up, because they dislike I post historical events from Mozilla.
        • I do not ban users based on user names or what others people want me to do here, that actually would be abuse.
        • There was no power abuse, it was response to aggressive trolling smear and discredit someone which was misconducted by the user. I took action to protect the topic as per community rules.

        This entire thread is to smear me and already against I am also not a Lemmy Mod, I moderate some communities here, so even the title is already misleading and clickbait. It is also already against Lemmy ToS, because he cannot handle he got banned and that is bottom line here. Smart decision is to block users or communities if you disagree entirely because there is nothing to get from. Now people trying to support him because they might also got banned by me for trolling or have other problems with my content.

        So this is typical case of payback action. Nothing to see here. I explained everything very well.

        Last statement from me on this.

          Witch hunt or not I remember you being an absolutely insufferable prick in the linux sub the other day (yes yes, I was better at it than you, I know) so I find this all absolutely hilarious that the chickens are coming home to roost. Btw since you wanted me to “RePoRt BaCk” to the post you think I shouldn’t have made and I haven’t yet done that: Fedora works fine, everything worked “out of the box” and I already learned a lot of file ops and nav in terminal, thanks for not helping! And blue still sucks, green ftw.

            Payback action here, still crying. Nice.

            Use your time maybe learn Linux instead of insulting others, how about that.

              It is a “Payback action” to speak about a true event? What are you the Ministry of truth? Crying because I’m laughing so hard more like it lol you scrub.

              I am, is it ok with you that I don’t use every waking second to learn how to use the terminal? Because I’m taking a shit rn and don’t feel like waddling to the computer.

                True is that you cannot handle criticism and abuse this thread to slander me, reality, yes.

                You called me again a prick, I reported this now. I will continue to do with every new insult until this thread gets closed, the bottom line is that you make Firefox community look bad because they love drama and abuse every opportunity to discredit each one another, this is actual the real hate.

                OP does not get unbanned, no matter how hard you argue here.

                  Your criticism is worthless, it isn’t constructive and is in essence just you being condeacending and complaining about other’s use of YOUR internet.

                  I called you a prick like I call you a lemmy user, they are simply true. Got a problem with truth? Report to your heart’s content my dude, freedom of speech is a removed though so I’m not sure if it’ll help ya, maybe, we shall see. I make a community I’m not in look bad? Sure bud whatever helps you sleep.

                  I don’t care about op or his ban, I’m just laughing at you and the drama you create, most comments in here are about how you are a mega jerk and this is the second post I have seen directly complaining about YOU, I am not the problem here, YOU are. “If you meet five assholes in a day, you were probably the asshole.”

                    I create no drama since I did not created this shameless thread which is designed to slander me.

      Fun fact is that this user that I banned here wanted to abuse his voice to take a legitimate question down.

      Ironic isn’t it.
