From what I’ve gathered you get banned if you use a VPN. If not immediately, eventually.

No.

Happy Easter my friend.

Like, I get the thinking behind it. In casual conversation it would come of as a fairly rhetorical way of expressing how bad racism is. But in text form, it can (and will to some) come across as actually encouraging violence. You always have to plan for the stupidest people in the group.

I get that thought, and I don’t think that is exactly what I’m doing. Instead I am making an off ramp for some of those communities. I plan on inviting the mods from the r/railroading to mod Railroading@Lemm.ee because they haven’t fallen victim of the same automod hell.

I think I want to take a few of my favorite ideas and curate them here. Like, I know of one sub that never took off. I think the only mod got banned or went dark almost as soon as it started. I would like to create that here and start filing it.

Also, I think that is a chance to create specific reasons to entice users over to Lemmy. People frustrated with the unfair moderation of their favorite subs looking for a better way to continue participating in those types of communities. Not a clone, a revival.

Waiting to see. Some others have had theirs go permanent an hour or two after it opened back up.

That’s pathetic moderation right there.

Fair point.

I’m starting to duplicate communities here on Lemmy. If they permaban my account, I will start handing out invitations on day one.

Yeah that’s… That’s a pretty clear cut example of violating Rule #1.

I went back to look at it and saw so many missing comments. They didn’t show up as deleted or removed. They were just gone as if they never existed. I get cracking down on encouraging violence. But that wasn’t what they deleted. What they scrubbed was blatantly dishonest to call a violation of that rule.

All valid points and questions.

It was a news article posted in the r/Wisconsin sub about the kid who killed his parents and plotted to start a violent, extreme right-wing revolution. The headline said something like “Wisconsin teen killed parents and planned on killing the President.” In the first paragraph it said “…he murdered his parents, and planned to do something even more sinister.” There were a lot of posts questioning that sentence, (like, “why is that more sinister?”) and I replied to one of them saying “It isn’t, it is the lesser of two evils.”

That comment got removed (and I think a LOT of others in the thread) and I got a three day suspension for advocating violence. Calling it evil is not advocating for it. It was brought on by an auto-mod, and the appeal was denied a little too quickly for me to believe it was actually seen by a real human, as they claim.

So I’m curious what the consequences would be for reporting mods who ban members for violating reddit rules. I just got a three day suspension for violating type 1 (advocating violence), which I think is purely dishonest to say I violated that rule. I looked up the mod of that sub and sure enough, they actually advocate for violence all the time. If I go around reporting those mods until they get permanent band is that a bad thing? Will I just get repercussions? Am I just being childish?
