Apparently Mods are being given automated instructions to "check for violence" for any comments that contain the word "Luigi". Subreddit drama discussed
The mods at r/popculture pointed it out. And then the screenshot above.
The subreddit drama
You're viewing a single thread.
It's not like we don't have mod drama but at least when you're federated, stupid decisions get limited to a single instance and others can simply defederate. Does allow for pretty... erm, interesting views you don't see on Reddit.
Also the modlog is public so you can at least see who was banned for what.
Nah, mods can just lie in the modlog. Verify that shit, don't listen to someone just because they're an authority.
Unless they're a .ml admin. The admins of lemmy.ml are always perfect.

Man goes to the doctor.
He says "Doctor, I am miserable. I have been banned from one of my favourite Lemmy instances for no good reason."
Doctor says "Treatment is simple. db0 runs a community for disputing wrongful bans. Go argue with strangers. That should pick you up."
"But, Doctor..." says the man, "I was banned by db0."
Yes you verify by opening the mod log and looking at the removed comments.
That's too hard for the average Lemmy user. They need a mod to tell them what to think instead of reading comments.
My first modlog entry on this account is from someone who banned me for harasment and stalking because they falsely claimed db0 admins were doxxing them in the modlog and I called them out on it.
Nah, mods can just lie in the modlog
Yeah, but you can also see the comments they removed to see if they are lying or not.
Not if they didn't remove any comments
That's the beauty of it.
The drama I prefer is power tripping mods who hate your username, hates that you use acronyms, and hates your server.
The drama I dont want is power tripping developers of Lemmy telling end users (us) what we can/can't post using the software.
