!modabuse_powertrip@lemmybefree.net (new instance, I hope it’ll stay faithful to what it states)
Made this community after a few disagreements with the mod/admin policies on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
And !modabuse@lemmy.sdf.org seems mostly trolls
threaded - newest
What disagreements?
Also one of the YPTB mods is in a group with like 3 others who all:
Flood user modlogs with unfounded accusations of vote manipulation and trolling.
Think that people browsing All should know the size and history of every community before downvoting a single post. Also don’t understand what lurkers are and assume intent.
Take downvoting very personally.
Who’s that ?
Off the top of my head.
unruffled at dbzero hypes up the conspiracy that everyone who gets banned for vote manipulation/whatever deserves it. I think they posted something about the brigade menace and treat a handful of down votes on something as the end of the world.
cryptagion at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes
mystic mushroom at dbzero does mass bans for one or a few down votes
Also jet at hackertalks does mass bans for one or a few down votes
Think there was one other too but can’t remember their name. The complaint is that they don’t understand what lurkers are (vote but don’t comment) or that people might browse all and not care about AI but down vote something because it is awful. Then they make ridiculous accusations and accuse anyone who disagrees with them of being a troll.
If they just banned down votes and banned anyone who down voted with the reason ‘down votes not allowed’ then they would not be getting the widespread negative reaction that they are getting by accusing people of brigading or vote manipulation or ‘anti-ai harassment’ and all their other stupid and insulting made up ban reasons.
Out of all those people, isn’t @unruffled@lemmy.dbzer0.com the only mod of !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
Yes, unruffed is the one YPTB mod who is cahoots with the other three mods (of other communities) that are all doing the mass bannings, and even using each other’s moderation as an excuse for more bans.
Example of mass banning (multiple communities, many users in a short time span) <img alt="" src="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/3ddb45e3-fa66-4ffd-ab4c-2b9b6f8507ff.png">
Note I am perfectly fine with the last one for no down voting allowed for that community. It is stupid and rules don’t show in the main feed, but no down voting is in the rules and they were banned without being accused of more than what they did.
being anti-AI is not allowed per the rules of those communities. as for the other user, that user is literally a sockpuppet account with zero comments or posts that is used strictly to downvote. I petitioned today for them to instance banned.
Fuck off. I’ve never seen anyone more butt hurt about single down votes on lemmy.
there’s certainly somebody butthurt here.
Yes, your butt certainly hurts.
You are just mad that nobody loves you.
I have a 20 year marriage to my wife, a teenager, and a dog and all happy to see me.
How you doin’?
Edit: Oh, and I’ve been playing games and chatting with five friends for the last four hours. Played Helldivers 2 with two of em, Call of Duty with two others, and have posted here in between matches. Even touched grass earlier today!

Sad little man child
Can’t even hold back their rage
Tries so hard but fails
Five-seven-five, huh? Math too hard for your soft brain? Try again, word clown.
it is hilarious that you throw a tantrum about people downvoting your small communities, and the moment a community exists thst you don’t like you spend so much time filling it with shit posts because you don’t like being criticized. What a hypocrite.
Seventeen dumb clicks— truth bombs wrapped in ancient form. Peak shitpost achieved.
You’re doing the same currently…
I actually like this one
Hey, let’s not go this route
You’re the one whining about it, clearly it effects your psyche a lot more than anyone else.
I just don’t go to communities I don’t like. Even easier than downvoting things en masse.
downvoting is against the rules of those communities. if you don’t read the rules before interacting with a comm, that isn’t my problem. why not make a post in YPTB?
People can’t see the community rules when browsing All you fucking donkey.
Also, down voting is NOT against the rules unless they were changed recently recently.
downvoting has been against the rules from the start. and again, it’s not my problem if you didn’t read the rules. you were banned according to them. if you don’t like it, that’s really tough.
Downvoting being forbidden is dumb and unfair
That would be actual vote manipulation by mods
.
a pro-AI crusade, you say? yes, I like that. we must purge all of dbzero of the antis and build our kingdom of AI heaven!
Calls for genocide. Exactly what I would expect from a Nazi bootlicker.
not being able to access dbzer0 would be genocide? are you a satire account?
Don’t forget that Jet spreads misinformation about meat based diets and sudo health science in multiple communities that they moderate.
Yeah, he was the reason I dug in my heels against the stupid ‘if you don’t like it then ignore it’ bullshit which is fine for music and sports but down voting misinformation is one of the main purposes of the down vote!
Exactly!
Some of the shit getting posted deserves to be downvoted. It’s a feature here for visibility purposes. Pretending it doesn’t exist and banning people that use is just so asinine.
Don’t want downvotes? Go to YouTube and get coddled by the corpos.
Yeah, but one time there was an actual user who did use bots to mass downvote with obviously randomly named bots so that means any time something gets down votes it is brigading and vote manipulation!
Small AI communities nobody wants getting four down votes is comparable to LGBTQ+ communities getting dozens or hundreds of downvotes from actual brigading!
If you don’t like it ignore it, and also I’m going to follow anyone who doesn’t like my slop around and harass them!
Did I forget anything?
Yeah I block communities I have no interest in participating with.
People also need to remember it’s just a number. Magical internet points as they say.
LGBTQ+ should be protected because they are actively being targeted for death threats and persecution. I wouldn’t equate that to some Ai posts getting a few downvotes because the general consensus of Ai is it outputs Slop.
Using bots to downvote is absolutely pathetic but you can’t be online expecting literally every person to agree with you or let alone read every community’s rules before scrolling and voting.
I would assume this scribe.disroot.org/post/3486289/5751938
In part as well. There are many things that have built up over time, this whole post made me realize I had enough
.
Guy acts tough and badass, is actually a lifeless moron with skin thinner than paper. Tale as old as the web.
Where did you find this?
It’s the bio for cryptagion’s profile.
I’m not the mod. He was temp banned by somebody else, for being a dick and excusing slurs against neurodivergent people. I just called it before it happened because I’ve seen plenty of other ableist dicks get banned for it.
Yea, like… me for saying the ban was stupid?
This is getting ridiculous now
Good thing I made the community heh
you said a temp ban for ableist slurs on an instance run by neurodivergents was “fucking stupid”, when the OP refused to edit their post to remove the slurs. what did you think was gonna happen? you got a temp ban yourself, it’s hardly the end of the world.
They claim they haven’t received the opportunity to
A discussion to get their logic and side of the story?
Nah, banning is better. This way people will learn and change for sure, definitely won’t grow to hate db0 more and more…
There wasn’t even any slur, like come on, at least try making valid reasons. Anyone with a little good faith can understand what was meant by the message and that it wasn’t made to make fun of mental disorders
if people hate us because they can’t act like that on our instance without getting a ban, then that’s really their problem, not ours. nobody needs to be federated with us if they think we’re too sensitive or woke. that’s the beauty of fedi, if you don’t like our space, you can go make your own. like you did.
but don’t expect us to cater to your whims. you don’t pay the bills to keep our instance running. you don’t even live there. you don’t get a say in how we curate our instance.
Turned out from “we’re right” to “if you don’t like it, leave”
I have switched instances over some time and frankly I kind of have enough of it. At some point I’m thinking about making my own instance because I have enough of it all. We will see
Being open to discussion shouldn’t be a luxury
No, it was always we’re right AND you can leave if you don’t like it.
We’re not liberals, we’re not willing to compromise on our morality just to keep you around.
anarchism but let’s not have democracy and be open to discussion, huray
anarchism is not democracy, the two are not compatible.
theanarchistlibrary.org/…/ziq-do-anarchists-suppo…
obviously not meant as a government but as a group
it’s the same thing. anarchism doesn’t need or want democracy, and the very idea of “the rule of the people” goes against our objection to being ruled at all.
besides, you’re not even a part of our instance, why would your vote on anything matter? and why do you think our very large base of neurodivergent members would be sympathetic to your beliefs?
source on this?
and I don’t want to be accepted, just to discuss, but I see there’s no point in that
all of our admins are neurodivergent, and most of our mods. the instance is also advertised as being tailored towards neurodivergent people. If you want a source, talk to the members. Drop by the ADHD comm or hop on Matrix, we’re very active on our channels.
no, absolutely not. we’re not interested in discussing our policy against bigotry. if you try, you’ll probably just get blocked by our members until a mod or admin comes around and cleans up your comments. the great thing about fedi is that nobody is forced to associate with anyone else. we all have the freedom to just cut problematic people out of our circles and move on. and the best part? that person we disassociated with is free to move on and start their own groups, with whatever agenda they want.
that’s true freedom.
It’s funny that the person, who is really upset about a poorly chosen word and someone getting offended by it, defends Luigi Mangione, a killer
You really see the contrast. Cherry pick your defending cause and axis. A bit incoherent
Wait you don't defend Luigi? What piece of shit are you.
Yea you’re right, defending someone who murdered a rich guy. How brave
you’re the piece of shit if you believe everyone should support his action
A rich guy responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths through policy and leadership.
that’s basically the entire economy in a nutshell
Not a lot of people would stay alive
Oh yeah because everyone is upper management and responsible for the direction the company goes.
you’ll also learn that you either play the capitalist game, or you lose
There’s an infinite amount of people that could take their place
that hurts my heart. good to know I live rent free in your heads tho.
what were the disagreements about?
There’s another comment that asked the same thing with replies in it. See lemmings.world/comment/16797777
!nostupidquestions@lemmy.world is a heaven for trolls who have nothing to contribute but their opinions. There’s nothing to learn there :/
i couldn’t see what you’re referring to, though
What are you talking about? I never said anything about this community
strangely, from your link jerboa opens this post ☞
<img alt="" src="https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/92f9d030-8fb7-4092-8aaf-94ab598741fb.jpeg">
opening it in browser helped. You should probably post these on your new community?
it might convert incorrectly the lemmings.world link’s comment ID to your instance’s ID (sh.itjust.works/comment/16797777) which isn’t correct because comment and post IDs don’t match between 2 instances
I’m used to posting links from the author’s instance, I don’t think it should change anything
Horse shit, there’s a few regular commentors that do their best with every question they can, and even more that contribute irregularly but in good faith, even if they fall short of accuracy.
he defended ableist slurs against neurodivergent people and called the mod “fucking stupid”.
I must be really old because the only words I understood from that sentence was slurs and fucking stupid.
neurodivergent are people who have atypical brains. like those with adhd, autism, etc. several of the admins of dbzero are neurodivergent, and many of the mods are as well, so they obviously don’t appreciate slurs against people like them.
The word slurs is false
The user clearly didn’t meant to insult or slur at people having schizophrenia
So if I were to call someone a “fag” that’s not a slur against gay people? In exactly the same way “Schizo” is a slur against folks with schizophrenia. It’s not rocket science. You are using their disorder as an example of something that’s wrong/bad. How do you think that makes folks with schizophrenia feel? You freeze peach idiots are only interested in yourselves.
Schizo is short for schizophrenia
Fag is short for faggot, which is already homophobic
You’re really going to compare this to “faggot” and, to an extent, “nigger”? These words are obviously meant to discriminate those people, when I’ve never seen “schizo” be used to discriminate people having this mental disorder
Well it is bad… I believe nobody wants to have schizophrenia, just like dementia and Alzheimer’s, yet I believe you’re fine with people saying those words when you have bad memory, unless you believe that’s a slur as well? I don’t believe it was ever meant to discriminate those people, or to say that they are inferior in any way.
Bold assumption to make, when you’re making a tantrum about a specific subject. No, we’re not. And if I’m wrong, then I’ll admit it. Banning straight up for 7 days (iirc) is not the way to go to educate people. You assume bad intentions which can only end up wrong.
I do agree that using the word like that is inaccurate and might be a bit offensive, but claiming someone is ableist because of this is far fetched
By the way, banning me from your community will not make you be right magically
That’s really childish
2 upvotes on a 1h old comment from an old thread? You brought your alt accounts to boost your upvotes?
Can't keep up with the all the fedi drama lol
fedi drama is the best
looking through this persons comment history just shows that they’re probably just a right-wing troll. And the descriptions in the community of it being a “free-speach” community just confirms that.
I’m not and if you associate free speech with hate speech then that’s on you
If you associate discrimination with right then that’s also wrong (and I don’t believe I’ve done such thing anyways)
Idk about the instance, we will see if it’s not just a xenophobic mess, I hope not
You’re on blahaj so I believe you don’t have anything to say about free speech because that thing doesn’t really exist in your instance
