You could easily make the call that I deserve this ban. But after Jordan lied about a user the other day, calling them transphobic to try and get trans people (and others) on his side as a cis white man, I just did not have the patience for him to start talking @ me about anything related to gender.
Not only that, but his reply in itself was a bit of* a powertrip in my opinion. I reported the bottom comment as "seems a bit attack helicopter-y?" mainly because that user seemed to have a posting history that indicated being a bit of an outrage merchant. I didn't necessarily want the comment removed, more than anything I was hoping to ping @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone to keep an eye on the user. It feels like his reply was a bit of "I've seen this, I don't care and I'm going to show you that I don't care by replying to you publicly without acknowledging your report privately".
I'm also pretty sure I upset his feefees with my comment the other day here on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com and he jumped at the opportunity to ban me from somewhere. Yeah, I baited that reaction but come on, a permanent ban on a first offence? Yeah, alright mate.
I didn't even realise I was in a lemmy.world community, let alone one @jordanlund@lemmy.world moderates (god one of the other mods is PugJesus) or I pawbably wouldn't have participated. Going to have to go through all my lemmy.world comms now and unsubscribe I think. Can you imagine running a comm about the heinous nature of policing and then being so authoritarian?
Regardless of my own disability, suggesting it is also assuming that any given person has the time, and it just feels like it's excusing bad behaviour. Reaching out to the mod in question would be fairly useless, he's prolific not just on Lemmy but right back from his career on Reddit too, hence the title of my post. However, I have pinged him, so let's see if he has anything constructive to contribute.
Implying that merely posting here won't help solve the pawblem at all is also kind of untrue in itself. I posted a couple weeks back about a very frivolous temp ban and that contributed to the ban being overturned and the mod in question seemingly being educated. Resignation/removal isn't the only way to resolve poor moderator behaviour. This space is one of the few that strives to create a culture of mod accountability.
In saying all that, I'd love to see a !thepoliceproblem@lemmy.dbzer0.com so if anyone here wants to create that then I'll be your first subscriber!
The centrist position on policing in the US is to cave in to the police union every single time, and to embrace the militarisation of the police. That's happened under Democrats and Republicans alike.
While I respect the fact their union is effective at protecting it's members, the fact is that union is largely responsible for shielding police from any accountability for their criminal actions.
I agree some sort of ACAB community would go down well here, so thanks for the suggestion.
That might be interesting. If nothing else, I suppose they deserve the option of presenting their view on things - for better or worse.
Anyway, good luck with everything no matter how you ultimately choose to go about it.
