I believe you’re referring to ananarchy@sh.itjust.works … and that you have reading comprehension issues.

That is obviously a joke community that makes basically anyone a mod who the original creator feels like making a mod in the moment. It’s a bit like some chatrooms back in the 90s that would just hand out mod powers to whoever. I never asked for mod powers, and I make no claim to anarchy as a personal philosophy.

Do you make a habit of not looking past surface details? Did you even bother to look at the community info, where it says “everyones a mod”?

I do claim responsibility for the community tagline “because anarchy is too mainstream now”.

How much of your negative opinion about me

So, just another liberal sjw troll larping as an anarchist.

…is based on this one detail? And do you ever consider that you might be reaching conclusions based on bad assumptions? I am absolutely not “larping” as anything.

How Corruption and Oligarchy Work in China

This isn’t socialism at work, it’s the mob boss extracting his cut of the profits.

Old & young (time). Also a distraction.

AI

No, it’s a war between up and down. Left and right is a distraction.

Gonna Buy a Hat

You would spend all of your time just blocking bots. Even if you personally would not be turned away by that, most people would, so the platform would be effectively empty.

In a vacuum, an idealistic world in which everyone is acting in good faith, this seems like a good idea.

In practice, any unmoderated internet space that allows arbitrary user content quickly becomes overrun with adbots, to the point that the platform is unusable for everyone else. Leaving it up to the individual to block them just becomes an exponentially growing game of whac-a-mole.

Is /e/OS out of date?

You are underestimating the cost of switching a business’s infrastructure from one system to another. For an organization with 10,000+ staff, this is extremely prohibitive. The time and effort required for retraining alone makes this a non-starter.

Why do you have a problem with anarchists banning you from anarchist communities exactly? Do you think you should be able to say what you like wherever you go?

I think that I haven’t broken any rules, and that I’ve essentially been judged under some secret law, and the punitive measure was delivered effectively in secret with no communication or recourse, which is the kind of behavior one expects from fascists and authoritarians.

Basically I think I’m the victim of abject hypocrites. People who claim to be ideologically against abuses of authority obviously approve of such abuses when aligned with their personal politics.

It’s very telling to me that so many people here are functionally behaving as if the mod were right because they’re the mod, which is to say “might makes right”.

Quokk.au isn’t a freeze peach instance. They have no obligation to let you visit and shit on the floor.

I think that if you’re going to build an echo chamber, you should have explicit rules identifying it as such, to the effect of “Only approved ideologies are allowed to be expressed here, and all others are forbidden.” That way you at least have to consciously process that you are building an echo chamber, and you put up a warning sign so that reasonable, cooperative and tolerant people will know to stay away.

Unless you think the ban is deserved?

I think the ban is the ban, and that my conduct is and will continue to be more mature than these PTBs.

Yikes. So what you’re saying is that a difference in political opinion is justification for retaliatory action. That is fantastically authoritarian.

What exactly was “shitty” about any of those comments?

I appreciate the offer, but I’m not really interested in attempting to dodge a ban for the sake of a comment on a meme post. It was just the catalyst for this.

Tell me you know nothing about corporate IT without telling me you know nothing about corporate IT.

A reasonable question that is unlikely to receive a reasonable answer.

More vague generalized implications, still lacking anything specific. You might as well just say overtly that you support abuses of power.

You do realize that IT admins have no control over the business software environment, right? They get hired to maintain it, they do not have purchasing authority.

For what reason, exactly?

An accusation was made in the ban, but nothing was provided to substantiate it. What you seem to be saying is that the accusation itself is enough to justify the ban, which is akin to a witch hunt, where the accused is presumed to be guilty and is then punished for having been accused, with no evidence given and no recourse.

I was not given the basic courtesy of a warning, or even a message from the moderator, and a 73-year ban is effectively permanent, which is extreme when no actual rules were broken. Basically, I was banned for thought crime, because the mod didn’t like what I said. The judgment was carried out summarily and with no consideration. This is kangeroo court nonsense.

The last time I experienced similar behavior was on lemmygrad.ml.

Then even more PTB.
