For all your boycotting needs. I'm sure there's some mods caught in lemmy.ml's top 10 that are perfectly upstanding and reasonable people, my condolences for the cross-fire.

!memes@lemmy.world and !memes@sopuli.xyz. Or of course communities that rule.
!asklemmy@lemmy.world
!linux@programming.dev. Quite small, plenty of more specific ones available. Also linux is inescapable on lemmy anyway :)
!programmer_humor@programming.dev
!world@lemmy.world
!privacy@lemmy.world and maybe !privacyguides@lemmy.one, lemmy.one itself seems to be up in the air. !fedigrow@lemm.ee says !privacy@lemmy.ca. They really seem to be hiding even from another, those tinfoil hats :)
!technology@lemmy.world
Seems like !comicstrips@lemmy.world and !comicbooks@lemmy.world, various smaller comic-specifc communities as well as !eurographicnovels@lemm.ee
!opensource@programming.dev
!fuckcars@lemmy.world

Thanks for sharing your opinion. I have made different experiences. You can debate them and they wont ban you if you act like an adult. What most mods (me included) wont accept is excessive drama, aggressive behavior, etc. obviously people make mistakes, some are outright dicks. But the generalization seems very far fetched.

I’ve seen the modlogs. There are mods there that ban people and use “Lib” as a reason. And other just use “rule 1” as a reason- which as we all know, is just a vague catch-all for “shit we don’t like.”

Besides that, a mod was recently busted banning people from communities they never even posted in. Just as recently as three hours ago- one of the idiot mods there banned someone from 45 communities.

That place is a shithole. I stand by it.

And thats your right. I dont object to that.

I‘m saying thats not a general rule for these or any mods/admins. I have personally had discussions with them and with some I‘m not on the best of terms. Yet I haven’t been banned anywhere from posting. Furthermore, i have seen a lot of posts and comments „just pointing out“ stuff and using derogatory words and populist language. I cant say I‘d watch that indefinitely myself.

Btw stating a rule as a ban reason does not seem suspicious to me. Feel free to disagree.

Okay man. I’m not going to argue with you. You can check the mod logs yourself if you wish. Nearly everyone that gets banned from there is banned for the reason “rule 1” and no other explanation.

It’s not there to be disagreed with. It’s a fact of the matter.
