Lmao abused by a mod on the abuse hotline. Maybe it sounded a little pointed since its just text but wtf a ban? Lmao

It's pretty weird over on lemmy.sdf and I try to just take qrstuv (EDIT: this was wesker, not qrstuv. Wesker also gets up to some trolling) as some odd performance art. Funhole, Linux Surrealism, and bun alert are great, but most every other community is run by qrstuv, and they can be oddly tyrannical outside of Funhole. Their entire account is practically digital performance art. EDIT: Wesker tends to be a little bit more "normal" rather than too weird to die all the time, but there's still a ton of lighthearted in-joking and trolling going on.

I'm pretty sure that community was originally created by qrstuv to bait someone who was being shit in the Funhole community into complaining about the legitimate moderation actions taken against them, then see how long it took them to realize they were being responded to by the very person who banned them.

My take would be that, yes, it is absurd to call correcting terminology victim blaming, and that's the "joke".

EDIT: I'd actually check the mod log to see if any action was taken against you besides a trolling comment. Would be willing to bet there isn't actually.

Also, the joke of going: "Item A: blah, Item 2: blah" should be pointed out.

It's not a legitimate mod abuse community, it's effectively a -jerk style comm for shitposting around the theme.

Hot damn a ban for that? I haven't looked at your history, which could change my opinion, but damn that seems harsh.

I personally don't think you did anything, maybe tone was slightly harsher than it needed to be, but that's all I see. Hardly worth a ban. Ban for me as a mod is like you systematically bothered my users or went on a racist tirade or something.

PTB

I think that's a troll community, right? The problem here is that you are the onion.

That community is a giant troll. EVERYTHING is victim blaming there, which means nearly everyone gets banned. Got myself banned quite a while back for practically nothing lol

I only saw the top of the image before coming to the comments. I was thinking to myself, who tf calls them sub reddits on lemmy? (eww that word...)

And that's exactly what you said. I woulda gotten a ban too I guess.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

(It's a parody sub, so part of the joke is the wacky rules and bans.)

Wesker is a wild card.

The mods comment makes absolutely so sense. I want to think it was meant as a response to something else but it kinda just doesn't make sense in general.

My suspicion is that the sub is so tightly wound against "victim blaming" (aka, "not instantly agreeing with OP") that any correction is seen as opposition. My other suspicion, from looking at the comm and how often they mock this one, is that they tried and failed to play the victim here, and decided to make their own mod abuse comm with blackjack and hookers. PTB

everyone's trying to figure out where the victim blaming is, I'm more baffled by "you don't know that"

we don't know that communities are called communities? we don't know that subreddits are on reddit? I guess we need this mod to drop a list of the things we're allowed to know

I'm sorry this happened to you.

Haha, some people just have a stick up their ass.

Lots of sophist bullshit like this gets tossed around these days, so people can rationaloze being an ass.

Mod abuse hotline is a circlejerk creation. It's not a place to call out mod abuse, it's a call for the mods to abuse you.

A play on words and interpretations...

That's an odd community. They don't like this one very much and they like to comment something about pooping in jail. It's either teenagers or performance art.

Godmods - when the cure is worse than the disease.

We really need a clueless user acronym lol. Or maybe noob user? I dunno, something to cover when the situation is just a matter of stepping in a cow patty while walking in your living room. Wtf is it doing there? Oh, my brother is taking the piss again.

Some communities aren't exactly normal, but you'd have to already be familiar with the fediverse and how some instances/communities are to know that you can't expect genuine discourse (be it from trolling, satire, or just batshit crazy mods/admins).

That's what you ran into here. Wesker is.... well, Wesker, and that means a lot of weird shit mingled in with some otherwise entertaining shit. You got hit with the weird shit this time. You didn't do anything wrong, you just ended up in a crack house while looking for epsom salts to soak your bunions.

Edit: also, you were correct and thank you for giving that information to someone with good manners the way you did :). Some folks get nasty about it

Yeah I don't know what their deal is but they're some kind of troll. I don't think PTB is quite right, but it's close enough.

Must have been mids first day on the job

lol nta

Mods, please do something about all dis bictim blaming in this thread

Anybody can be a mod or the president. Hang in there.

Just got banned for calling out a zionazi who deny the genocide in gaza and along anybody else who support the mod rightful actions

Somebody should troll and make a post about how they as a mod abuses their power
