The mod banning these users is the same mod who made the posts they downvoted. This is mod abuse, turning the downvote button into an auto-self-ban button.
The message is “If you disagree with me, you will be banned”
Monitoring and banning users for using lemmy as intended to signal boost your opinion should be grounds to have all mod privileges removed. This behaviour undermines the integrity of the server and the wider fediverse.
Okay. A day old. Of people hurling insults at each other despite me intervening two or three times asking them to stop. My inbox filling up with reports. What’s the problem with locking it?
That was a lie you just knowingly told. Why should I trust or listen to anything else you have to say?
You can literally observe the thread and see the deleted comments, and see them in the modlog.
Sorry I just think moderators shouldn’t tell lies to retroactively justify their poor behaviour. I think that is a disqualifying action and should not be considered acceptable behaviour from anyone in a position of authority.
Please find someone more trustworthy to pass your moderation privileges to.
You don’t know that I was lying. Does it make a difference if the thread was 2 days old as opposed to 1? What “poor behaviour” would this even be in aid of somehow justifying?
Again: What is the problem with locking a thread that has fallen into back and forth insults?
The point is you stretched less than one day into multiple days because you are aware your actions are not justifiable, so you knowingly lied to make yourself appear more reasonable.
You are not a good faith actor, please leave me alone. Also quit your moderation roles.
How do you know this? How do you know I didn’t misremember? And why would me claiming it was 2 days old, as opposed to 1 - from your perspective - make it somehow more justifiable?
And again: What is the problem with locking a thread that has fallen into back and forth insults?
You are welcome to stop replying.
Because the screenshot was just above, in the comment chain you were replying to. I assume you are lying, because the alternative would be to accuse you of being a fucking moron, and I prefer to assume competence.
Thanks, I will! Feel free to respond to this comment tho; I wont read it, but as with every other reply you have made in this thread, it will add to the mountain of evidence that you are not emotionally mature enough to be moderating anything.
have a great day and quit your role as moderator because you are fucking dreadful at it lol! :D
The timescale didn’t click with me when I saw the screenshot. I of course do recall locking the thread at the time, but the timescale details were gone. This is a small detail. What is the issue with locking a thread that has collapsed into bickering and insults?
I think we’ll let the audience decide that.
And I’m absolutely fine as a moderator.
