I would urge you to not freak out and call people paedophiles out of the blue, and accuse them of all sorts of other things, even if you’re attempting to be didactic. I got a report about you and have not banned you as of yet. By the way, were you ever on a certain discord server for a HP fanfic years ago, before covid actually?
Should be pretty easy to figure out the mod responsible, especially since it’s across multiple instances.
Either way, I’m really not a fan of mods just banning someone from every single comm they mod. If you want to be an admin, make your own instance please.
I tried joining Piefed instead of Lemmy… Before even making a single comment I was banned from 3 communities for “Lemmy account with same username has been seen to start arguments on the Lemmy equivalent to this community”
Fucking thoughtcriming me
Piefed communities are creepy. It’s a platform based on the concept of those dead duplicate communities trying to boycott the Lemmy devs.
The piefed communities that come across my feed are so curated and empty it’s always just a mod fighting with every other comment.
The bans the user above is referring to took place on lemmy communities. Piefed as software had nothing to do with it.
[email protected] and [email protected] are the most active communities on those topics
That night be there antibot automation. You can appeal if it wasn’t you. It’s their current attempt to try to combat some AI bots that have been around on Lemmy.
They’re automating assessments of user interactions on Lemmy as an anti-bot measure?
Kinda.
Since Lemmy existed before Piefed, pretty much all the bot accounts were here. So their current system uses a database of flagged Lemmy accounts and if the name matches someone else who joins, then it automatically gets flagged too. I think they also check IP addresses at the moment, though I don’t know if they gave up on that or are still experimenting with it.
The automated part was the bigger issue, but it sounds like there’s probably not much assessment to have automated then.
Oh, for clarification - they’re not automating assessment of user interaction, rather of users who join, and afterwards checking that username to a database of flagged users on Lemmy. It’s to speed up the sign on process a bit more.
Since it’s possible someone else might just happen to pick the same username as that in the database, then it’s possible to appeal and mention you’re not that person on Lemmy.
Yeah, I was so excited about piefed when it first came out. But the thoughtcriming and social rating based on people disgreeing with you, took the shine off pretty quick.
Happens on lemmy as well.
Here’s the mod who did all this btw:
They’ve been on a tear lately it seems.
What the fuck is even going on in this thread.
one or more bigots keep making lots of harassment accounts to attack draconic neo. they spam posts like this and the trans communities too with their shit
Lemmy has a real problem with alts and sock puppeting
Doesn’t help that admins have at times decided to encourage alt’ing to bypass bans “because if they are good faith participants, they won’t get banned again”. The problem is the whole federated system means accommodating different standards.
As a proponent of any decent implementation of the idea, I’d just like to point out that if we could select our own moderators for communities, a lot of these alts and sock puppets would probably have been handled by the people I would have aggregated to the list instead of just waiting for the time zone or availability to roll over to the official ones. A lot of these are blatantly obvious.
Admin of what instance said that? I’ve only ever seen the opposite opinion.
They know who they are, and it depends on what’s involved. Even if the ban was clearly in bad faith, the tune changes when it’s someone co-mingling in their circles, and I’ll leave it at that since it would involve old Matrix conversations. If you haven’t, that’s good, although it’s what ban happy behavior encourages. The only people whom bans like those works against are good faith participants.
I noticed you have an 11 day old account… I take it you gathered enough bans to warrant a new account?
Gmail lets you put a . or a + <word> in your email address so you can still receive it.
So if your email is [email protected], you can register a new account as [email protected] and then [email protected]… Since + is a valid email address character most places accept it and you can make infinite accounts with one email…
Work with some fr33 tr14ls but don’t tell everyoneYou really aren’t making a good case for yourself if you are trying to promote ban evasion. Were your critics right, and is your gig up now?
And no, this is just an alt, after experiencing some rather concerning double standards of enforcement in another instance as well as an harsh degree of escalation from said enforcement, this account represents a different approach on a platform that handles some things better than Lemmy’s and avoids any presence on the aforementioned instance.
Without trying to read the comments or understand context in any way because internet drama is super boring…
if everywhere you go smells like shit, maybe it’s time to check your shoe
Yeah. Idk what his agenda is, it seems a lot of people on here are passionate about their ideas. But he’s on record doing this: https://sh.itjust.works/comment/24653648
All I see is no VPN and an almost dead battery. No idea what the rest is about
I never interacted with any of those communities or the mod. Nothing was explained to me either.
And I don’t trust VPN’s, I trust TOR
Buddy, I’ve got some bad news for you about TOR…
You mean fud?
Go for it, im rather into cryptography.
Tell me about how giving my credit card to a corporation that says “trust me bro” is more trustworthy than Tor… Go aheadOh VPNs are crap no doubt, but TOR is not helping you either.
LoL straight up lies
you dont need to use a cc to pay for a vpn and tor is slow as fuck. maybe using tor is part of why you got banned even, like “suspicious” ips as htey do with vpn ips sometimes.
edit - why am i being downvoted?
No, there was a reason to ban you. It just was not a valid reason.
