      Apparently there was an argument that resulted in piefed mods banning all leftists instances, including myself…

        Ah, so basically the same problem there is on Reddit with power-tripping mods that manage several subreddits.

        At least it’s federated so being banned in one instance and its communities doesn’t keep you from joining or making similar communities in your own instance, or joining a different instance

    Lemmy is a lot weirder of a place when you start to realize instances are like virtual nation-states and the admin teams are ALL despotic auth-rulers with the temperaments of toddlers.

      the astronaut meme but its ‘wait that is how almost everything ever has worked this whole time?’

      lemmy just fundamentally attempts to accept that that is basically how people work, when you boil things down and remove the rationalizations, and tries to provide mechanisms to manage this somewhat less insanely.

      Our admins are lovely but severely overworked. Most admin teams I’ve interacted with are kind but overladen. Some are definitely emotionally stunted but I definitely wouldn’t establish that as a rule

      People fail to understand that exactly this is the concept of a federation. You only agree on a few things, in this case the software, everything else, however, is fully individual.

      Federation is not the solution here. The only solution that would work is peer to peer - no hosts at all, pure anarchy.

      PPB is “Pig Pooping on Balls.” One of hexbear’s favorite reaction photos is a pig with testicles so large they stick out back, and the pig literally has some of its own poop resting on its gargantuan balls.

      So I guess they have a list of users they see as helpless, ignorant pigs. Delightful bunch, those hexbears.

      It’s a joke that went over OP’s head.

      He came to Hexbear to sling shit and get banned so that he’d have something to whine about.

      One user, recognizing the irony, made a joke about Hexbear having it’s own list. A mod thought the joke was funny and decided to commit to the bit by putting it in the modlog, while also limiting it to a 24 hour ban.

      That way, he got the ban he went looking for and he gets to make this post, but he also looks completely ridiculous whining about it to anyone paying attention.

        The fact that you think the replies weren’t self aware is the funniest part of all this.

        Like, you actually think they just randomly decided to describe banning you (for 24 hours btw) as “putting you on a list” under a post about a banlist, and it wasn’t an intentional reference?

        If you actually stopped and thought about it for like two seconds, you’d get the joke, but you’re so caught up in your original thought of, “I’ll get myself banned to show how hypocritical they are” that you missed it completely.

    You can’t debate a takie. Debating them is like hitting a head against the wall. The best you can do is to purge them out

        Yeah. They disagreed with me, so labeled me as Nazi transphobe and removed posts/banned me immediately. This is tankie mentality. There’s no point in arguing with them

                  not as pathetic as making multiple posts crying about getting a 24 hour ban (it expires in an hour) for posting low-effort bait.

                  i’m just highlighting that some of the people eagerly supporting you ‘owning the tankies’ are pro-ice transphobes, talking about wanting to purge them.

                  if you actually care about authoritarianism i’d expect you to be a little more concerned about those sort of people surrounding you.

                So am I allowed to say that there are only two genders or not? The whole thing is obviously relating to JKR and backlash after what she said. Are you people that dense?

                also here’s you shittalking after renee good got executed; fuck ice and you’re clearly on their side

                Did she not barricade the way with her car? Did she not try to escape almost running over the ICE guy?

                And assuming ICE is full Nazi: Tell me is it smart thing to come swinging against fully armed SS? Yes or NO. Very simple question.

                  You are allowed to say whatever stupid transphobic shit you want, and to complain loudly and stupidly about the extremely predictable consequences like you’re doing
