Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !uspolitics@lemmy.world
7) No Hit-and-Run questions.
Please don't delete your post for no apparent reason. If you plan on deleting a question later, say so in the post, or if you feel that you have a good reason to remove it, message a mod beforehand. It's not fair to the ones who took their time to answer, and it's not in the spirit of the community.
8) No Bots.
Posts or comments from bots, LLM's, AIs, Neural Networks, Transformers, or Marvin the Paranoid Android are not welcome in AskLemmy. Real humans only please.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Personally feel that was pretty rational considering the sheer amount of transphobic vitriol those threads always drew. I was tired of seeing them every time I scrolled, and some of the alt spamming transphobia stuff was completely out of hand. If you read the thread you linked announcing it, they also only banned a very specific genre of YPTB thread related to Blahaj, and other posts about Blahaj are still allowed.
Feel like you are representing this really unfairly.
If you look at the timestamps that's an at least 2 year old post that recently seemed to get relaxed...
I've had both those instances blocked for at least two years, and was running off memory.
But I did take the time to search blajah just now, that mod post is the only post. It's possible there's some that just have a community name and are from that instance, but I doubt it.
I also just don't really care that much about drama with two instances I've had blocked for years.
Both places are full of power tripping mods/admins, whem I run into those places, I block them and move on
So you led with a complete fabrication (2 years ago the admin of db0 is saying the ban should only cover that topic and that it should be temporary)
Which is why you felt the need to comment and lie about them. Sure thing. Any other things you don't care about you want to weigh in on unprompted?
Also I just looked and a post about 196 on Blahaj and transphobia is the 3rd post from the top excluding the pinned thread. 😂
I'm not sure why you'd think I'd have seen that when I just said it was blocked for years...
But I looked:
https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/76216189?scrollToComments=true
The blajah admin saw comments they didn't like on a different instance, and instead of blocking the right person, blocked someone else....
I'm not sure why you'd support admins banning people for comments on completely different instances, but I honestly don't give a fuck, am not gonna try to change your mind, and am never going to see any other comments you ever post.
Imagine getting caught in a lie and saying the truth is the problem.
They immediately reversed the ban and handled it graciously, but I pointed this out because your assertion was you can't criticize Blahaj at all on that comm or that instance. Something that happened less than ten days ago, and where everyone walked away happy. Please by all means block me for pointing out the egg on your face
Db0 is evil for not tolerating transphobia, I guess?
