- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
@TheTechnician27@lemmy.world
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Ban & comment removal.
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
I commented that I am not sure @arlesh@lemmy.world even verified the story is even real. Instead of proving me with another source that the story is real, I was deemed a troll, banned, and all my comments removed. If this is how criticism is remedied, I am not sure what I want fixed.
It’s fine to question it within the thread; the Wikipedia resource is a reference, not Gospel. The problem was that they were a) seemingly just spamming it, b) asserting “fake news”, and c) putting responsibility on OP to “verify” for no real reason.
I would make the same call regarding a temp ban after multiple comments like that. Its not a source thats against the rules, its literally referenced in there, and I would disagree about the thread being appropriate - your comm to run obv, but the trustworthiness of the NYT is an entirely different topic than what the that OP posted about. That OP didn’t break any rules, and NYT is clearly what this OP wants to discuss.
That should be a separate thread.
