Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Calling another user "shitlord".

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Did @eldavi@lemmy.ml report me?

Either way, it was sarcasm

the caustic use of words, often in a humorous way, to mock someone or something

I won't reveal who reports who, but I will say it was someone else.

The civility rule is NOT ambiguous:

"Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members."

All good but this moderation approach is censoring non-problematic content because some people have poor reading comprehension and/or don't understand sarcasm.

I would expect them to get better instead of content getting diluted.

@eldavi@lemmy.ml did confirm that he did not report me, so this is literally some third party injecting themselves into a discussion. Either way, rules can be used by faith actors to stifle speech, that's how it works on reddit. I would posit context should be counted when issuing removals.

It literally doesn't matter who reported it, you broke the civility rule. Had I come across the comment organically I still would have removed it.

Don't attack other users. Full stop.

Don't attack other users. Full stop.

Nobody was attacked. Learn to read.

Now you're arguing with a mod after a civility violation. Temp banned.

On further review, this appears to be a ban evading account of sunzu. Perma banned.

i was wondering what you said since i can only see that it was removed.

i've used milderer sarcasm than you have and my own comments have likewise been removed; i suspect that the fraught relationship that lemmy.world has with the rest of the lemmyverse is fueling overzealous moderation.

[–] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org -1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I figured you would have picked up on it based on your comments

It was something along the lines: "but have you thought about the right of rich Americans to defend themselves, ****Lord"
