MODERATORS
I recently got banned from !Playstation@Lemmy.zip because I called out the moderator for crying about black people in God of War. The reason given? Racism, apparently, for telling the mod to stop being racist.
They deleted their account and locked the community, lol
Edit: to add on, a hexbear user saw that I got banned for "racism" after calling out the racist mod, and they also got banned, lmao. It's really funny, the mod edited their post and pretended they were a victim for "being called a bigot for standing against DEI in video games."
Such reactionary bullshit.
I mean, racism was technically the reason you got banned. Just not your racism lol
Yea, haha. I still genuinely cannot believe the level of contradiction in their edit.
For context :
It's actually absurd.
Oh good lord. Do people not hear themselves? "Im not racist guys! I'm just against diversity, equity, and inclusion!!!!1!" Sir, how in the fuck is that not racist?
I know, right? They really thought they were cooking, like a gamer martyr.
Average PlayStation user, tbh.
Yea, unfortunately, but it was strange seeing such a Reddit moment on Lemmy
Remember to report problem content even if you get banned for it. The reports go to all relevant parties; the mods of the community, (who are going to be in bad faith and will likely laugh at your report) but more importantly the admins of both your and their instance. If the home instance does nothing it will signal to your instance that the admins are supporting that kind of behavior which can kick off diplomacy efforts.
The threat of defederation keeps instances accountable, as even a bad faith instance wants to retain their audience.
Oh, don't worry, I reported them. Either way, the mod deleted their account or got permabanned, and as the sole mod !Playstation@lemmy.zip is now locked and dead for now.
I love this response because thats still being bigoted.
'How dare they call me a bigot for my bigoted views!' it's so tiring, would the fuckers just own it and stop crying all the time?
Yep, they genuinely thought that immediately getting tossed the fuck out proved their point, that gamers are an oppressed minority. I haven't seen shit like that since Reddit.
