I did some analysis of the modlog and found this:

Ok, bigger instances ban more often. Not surprising, because they have more communities and more users and more trouble. But hang on, dbzer0 isn't a very big instance. What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?

Ok, so lemmy.ml, dbzer0 and pawb are issue an outsized amount of bans for the number of users they have... But surely the number of communities the instance hosts is going to mean they have to ban more? Bans are used to moderate communities, not just to shield their user-base from the outside. Let's look at the number of bans per community hosted:

Seems like dbzer0 really loves to ban. Even more than the marxists and the furries! What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?

Raw-ish numbers and calculations are in this spreadsheet if anyone wants to make their own charts.

And yet you don't see an issue with the way this was handled?

So, yes you banned a community moderated by multiple users because you personally felt slighted at being banned by one person.

I don't need to know you, I just observe what actions you take. You went off half cocked in this post like it was some sort of gotcha.

Also not sure why you suddenly have it in for our instance recently. It seems like you've thrown in your hat with Kaplan who is seemingly determined to get rid of the last remaining leftist instances. That's extremely disappointing.

    They never will.

    Always has, we don't support liberal capitalism. That's worse than the fascists they hang out with, while claiming they fight fascism.

    Being labelled as a Zionist is probably the reason.

    When this was discussed last week with db0, db0 said to just move on as people tend to call everyone a lot of things on the Internet.

    On the other hand, it could also be expected than instance admins take actions against this type of disinformation. Dbzer0 staff prefers not too for ideological reasons, but that's the core of the disagreement: should instance admins allow mods to spread disinformation in modlogs?

    If Rimu wants us to reverse a misguided community ban by a community mod I'd be happy to do so. But he hasn't even asked afaik. We are actually quite reasonable people, despite claims to the contrary.

    I don't have any particular beef with Rimu except for the current hostility towards our admin team. And hit jobs like this post are not helpful.
