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.

          Linking walls of text filled with links to your own blog isn’t debunking. Its a straight up fascist tactic to denounce others positions since no one is going to read. How about you actually explain yourself in a comment instead of posting a link to your blog.

          Not to mention you didn’t actually debunk any of their evidence, its just a rant about doxing and TOS violations. Crying about ‘doxing’ then listing a bunch of users you dont like it the same post? Come on dude.

              You cannot judge something if you do not know the entire story, and I clearly revealed this. You are not involved and therefore no reason to judge me or take what OP claims serious.

              This is just another - I got banned and cannot handle it - story, hope we can move on, the user is not worth the fake drama. Everyone is happily to add something useful to my content I post, but do not fake report someone and cry afterwards. Judgment calls I made are also not abuse.

                This is all toxic behaviour, can’t you see it? You should just calm down and try not to be aggressive. I never said you were aggressive with me, I just expressed an opinion. If you don’t like it you have to accept it and answer, not using powers like you did some times. Anyways, why instead of spreading hate against Firefox don’t you try spreading info on alternatives? Hate is something that blinds our minds and creates a suffocating experience in Lemmy

                  The entire thing is childish, I agree.

                  I do not go into apple community, down-vote everything because I want to enforce my bias on something and then fake report statements from others users and seriously expect I should not protect people from my community who just ask a legitimate question just because a troll does not like it.

                  You judge me without knowing me, I responded. What you do is slander and to smear me without actually have spoken to me. If you are not involved you ignore it and move on, that is what adults do, and if you cannot stand a community you block it in your settings, same goes for users. There is an option.

                  I spread no hate against Firefox, m Community is about history of Mozilla, Firefox is part of that history, if people cannot stand Mozilla failures and trying to wrongfully defend that then this is their ego problem. If we are not even allowed to express our opinion on a professional manner than we can close the the forum.

                  Respect is if you tolerate, the user never tolerated to begin with, he reported, speculated something into OPs post that is entirely speculation and I protected my user and I would do it again.

    The situation is going a bit crazy from my POV.

    While I am waiting for the other admins to finish the decision, I think it is a safe step to lock this.

    If this needs to be re-open. You can notify me through messages here or I will re-open it after the decision is taken.

    BTW, I think this is my first real decision as an admin. I hope it is good enough.

    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

      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 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.

                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.

                  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.”

    That sublemmy is something I am not comfortable with in the first place. It is clear the place is intended to drum up drama using conspiratorial hot takes, because Mozilla is a prominent entity. Think of it like banking off Mozilla’s status.

    You got banned for your own reasons, your failed to attempt to discredit and smear someone else valid question. Even after showing you that his question was more than okay you refused to accept it, down-voted without valid argument and even in advance tried to bring the entire thread down by reporting it.

    In retro perspective

    • You down-voted every thread in this community, and every single post and legitimate answer. If you do not like it block users as well as the community, there is no point in arguing about historical events if you have nothing to add.
    • You enforce your bias on others with failed attempts to take this down.
    • You reported this thread in advance like a child because you did not liked what OP, or for that matter the community has to offer.
    • You had no evidence, this is against community rules, I banned you for that and your intolerance against other members who just wanted to ask a question and even after explaining you that this is okay you continued.
    • This thread is against Lemmy Code of Conduct but I do not report it, it exposes you as an awful being which no one should have in his community. Which is clear after the drama stunt you pull here.
    • You only 8 days timeout, now you made it worse, for you. If that was your goal, kudos … you won.

    My choice was correct. I banned all others now who abused the report function, without any legit reason just to troll me and the community.

    Have a good day, you ban will now be indefinitely.

    Nothing further to discuss here, I will now block every troll in this thread.

        It was no valid report I contradicted it. If I would ban everyone who ask questions, that would actually be mod abuse. His report was before he even showed up in the thread, so this was troll attempt. I protect my community here from other who smear people who just asked a valid question, or in this case multiple.

        I ban trolls as I am supposed to do. There will be no unban.
