I submit for your judgement, my ban from a History Photos, after the mod (a favourite around here) loses his cool and breaks almost all the sub rules and the instance general guidelines.

Arguably he also breached instance rule 1 against ableist conduct and use of slurs as the history of the word moron is quite troubled - something I’ve disagreed with @[email protected] on before.

For clarity I do not support any of the states identified by the US as rogue states. Discussing motives and outcomes does not equal support.

Rules

  1. Be respectful and inclusive.
  2. No harassment, hate speech, or trolling.
  3. Foster a continuous learning environment.
  4. No genocide or atrocity denialism.
  5. Photos MUST be at LEAST 10 years old, and ideally over 20. We appreciate that we are living through events which will become history, but this is ultimately not a comm for news or current affairs, but events which have occurred some time in the past.

    I’m going to weigh in that this is a case of PTB even if, as some others you could have been more graceful. The role of a moderator is primarily to prevent things from spinning out of control like they did here.

    That particular mod left his old home instance after realizing it had some problems, and was acting better for a while, but has been returning to many of his old ways. In particular:

    1. He has been getting less and less respectful and inclusive
    2. He has not been open minded, which is required for a learning environment
    3. He has a eurocentric perspective on genocide and atrocity that ignores that even though pre-colonial societies were not perfect, the current state of the world is a very direct result of an attitude that any one society is more advanced/developed than the others they encounter

        Care to share the user?

        I don’t agree with your take.

        I do believe it’s not news, or unbiased, so I can see why I might have, but it wouldn’t be ban-able, so I’d like to know the user to refresh my memory.

            I re-reviewed all the details, and came to a very confusing realization

            • This has been 11 months, so I have pretty much no memory of the ban
            • I did this at 5:23 in the morning
            • I reference a temp ban that never happened
            • it was on a thread that was full of rule violations (https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/post/32467169)

            With all that in mind, the only conclusion I can come to is I fucked up. I must have misread a mod queue report as someone else, and banned you for their actions.

            I can unban you if you like, but if you hate me and the communities I moderate and don’t want that, that’s also your choice.

              I mean I would like an unban as I think it’s completely unfair. The previous ban that was referenced was my lemm.ee account which I had switched away from since the instance had shut down. Here is my recollection of the events at the time of the original ban: https://lemmy.ml/post/19362644

              Also I don’t hate you or anyone really, I just had run out of good faith with the lemmy.world mod team in general and after you reaffirmed the ban in our last discussion without actually pointing out what you thought was racist with you as well. Glad to be proven wrong on that account though.
