I apparently got shadow banned almost a year ago from blahaj, for a comment I made on lemmy.world
(lemmy.sdf.org)
For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.
They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.
Blahaj is essentially the padded room of Lemmy. The users there never ever ever want to see a difference in opinion, a naughty word, or a thought provoking comment. They want to be victims and talk about cute stuff. Completely within their rights to make their instance the most cringe thing on the Internet and yet another example of leftists fighting other leftists and pointing fingers at one another over minor issues while conservatives actually are exterminating minorities at record pace and creating laws and regulations to destroy lives. It might be funny if it wasn't so sad.
Thought that was Beehaw?
Definitely more beehaw. They don't like when other instances don't follow their rules...
I've had nothing but thoughtful and pleasant interactions with users from Beehaw, so what's the tea with them?
Weren't they the ones who defederate any instance that allows the word "poop"?
I...have no idea? I don't really know any Lemmy lore outside of that time everyone was posting beans. But my instance doesn't ban "poop" and I can clearly see Beehaw, so probably not.
Is there a lemmy version of r/subredditdrama? Because that would be helpful lol
Not literally but aren't they the ones that basically don't federate with anyone because they have the moderation policies of Nick Jr and allow basically nothing more scandalous than "If You're Happy And You Know It" in?
Again, I don't know. My instance seems to be fine with them, and I wouldn't say it's Nick Jr here. I also just see the same news/tech/whatever posts on Beehaw as the ones on .world or whatever, so I don't even know what the content difference would be.
But now I'm just even more curious about any potential mod/admin drama regarding these defederations, damn it.
I came over fairly early during the Rexodus and a lot of the scuttlebutt was about Beehaw defederating basically anyone who had an open sign-up policy, which includes sh.itjust.works.
Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I signed up around the time there was a big spambot attack here, so I picked an instance with closed registration. That explains a lot, actually.

They ban anyone for being a dick.
As is their right to? Like the whole point of Beehaw is to foster a positive environment. I've disagreed with many people there (including their admin, I'm pretty sure) without getting banned.
Sure, but this community is full of ban baiters and dicks looking for validation.
Same guy?
So a marginalized group that gets continuously shit on both offline and irl makes a lemmy community with strict rules so they can have a space to enjoy lemmy and take a break from being shat on... and you have a problem with it? Why does all online activity have to be productive? Why can't people make safe space to relax in?
Never said anywhere I had a problem.
"It's completely within their rights, but I'm still going to make a paragraph-long complaint about it, even though it doesn't affect me.'
Yes that's how internet discussions work chief...
Do you want him banned too now?
Yes, I'm aware that Internet discussions are often full of people complaining about shit that doesn't affect them. I'm still going to point out that it's stupid.
Is... Is this not exactly that?
Ah yes, echo chambers have never had disatrous consequences for people outside of them. Brilliant.
