Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.
The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.
They seem to be banning anything anti Russia just based on your modlog, buy you also have a hard time following their rule2: be nice. So I can kinda see where they are comming from as well.
Oh, I wasn’t the one who was banned. I’m here to call out questionable use of moderation powers by the lemmy.ml admins. If the admin felt that the user violated instance rules, the recourse was to issue a site ban—which they did. Throwing in 20 community bans after that for the same time frame is petty and unnecessary.
Tbf, “Rule” 2 has an unwritten clause at the end, it’s actually “Be nice, unless you’re a tankie shill then you have the power of the mods/admins enabling you being a giant fistula to liberals anyone who disagrees with you in any thread.”
Socialism to authoritarianism in 3… 2… 1…
Well, the community’s rule is specifically not to make political jokes in the https://lemmy.ml/c/nonpolitical_memes subreddit.
So removing the comment seems acceptable. Banning like this is certainly ridiculous. On the other hand the modlog shows this user “Dasus” to be a serial troll, who got himself banned on many communities.
