before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com

i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:

and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you’ll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.

it was less than 2 hours. it’s almost not worth discussing.

but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planned and under the terms which i agreed.

db0 has said he doesn’t want to be the benevolent dictator for life, and has specifically both recused himself from ruling on my conduct and encouraged me to post here and in [email protected] (though i’m still holding off on that for now).

so, did i deserve it? power tripping bastard? what do you think?

    Did you report your interlocutor?

    yes. for incivility, to the best of my recollection, but since lemmy doesn’t let you review your own reports, i can’t say i recall perfectly

      indeed we’ll have to rely on your memory. do you remember how many times you reported this admin (even across separate comments count) and whether you have reported others multiple times in the same sitting? i would ping the admin somewhere (here or in a thread you might start in /0 governance)

            Nope Tesseract shows the mod who did it when you’re logged in to the instance you’re viewing it from. I believe some apps also show the mod names as well, I know Photon and Voyager do.

              Interesting you see that. For me (logged in on my db0 alt) on Tesseract there is a moderator column but it’s empty even for local actions and Photon doesn’t even give me a moderator section.

        it’s possible I reported the user two or three times, but it might have been only once.

              I mean you can report multiple comments, but as I said in my other comment about that unless you reported like 50 comments (common sense says that reporting multiple comments in a discussion thread wouldn’t be anywhere near report abuse thresholds) it would be PTB to ban someone for reporting multiple comments in a discussion. You want people to report violating content and not be worried about action for that, sometimes violating content spans multiple comments at once.

          Oh yeah, I forgot about that Lemmy modlog quirk. I really wonder why that’s not open to users if the purpose is transparency. Mbin’s modlog tells you who initiated the action, though the “tradeoff” quirk is you can’t see the reason provided, plus I would probably have to leaf through pages 12–18 to find that action. A post at governance will probably have the admins of db0 find out who did it and investigate.
