@notwesker@lemmy.sdf.org aka @FiniteBanjo@feddit.online banned me for a whole week from Mod Abuse Hotline for asking a clarifying question about the verbiage OP was using.

I was very clear that I was so sorry for what happened to OP, but didn’t understand what I perceive to be a double-negative that they were using. I even clarified that I wasn’t victim blaming or having a threatening aura.

What does the mod do? They ban me for a week, but not even for an actual rule violation. They used a very stale and unfunny meme!

I’ve never used this com before, so I’m not familiar with your acronyms. So, I guess AITA?

EDIT: 1 business week, not a whole week

    Yeah, it’s a stalker I’ve had for almost an entire year now. He’s actually started several posts in this community and claims I am someone else.

    He thinks he can bully me off of Lemmy. He can’t.

    I’ll DM ya for some fun notes, and give you the reasoning why I mod the way I do. If we discuss here, it may be removed as off-topic. I won’t bore you, but it’s an interesting study about some of the more extreme personalities we have on Lemmy.

      Oof, yeah there’s some “eccentric” types I’ve started watching for too unfortunately. Was just on another thread where somebody was talking about how it’s getting kind of bad. But sure, I like gossip.

        Sent. It’s boring, but you’ll notice the pattern.

        And in relation to OP’s post, it is becoming a bigger pattern overall on Lemmy. I’m seeing a lot more bullying behavior, calls for violence for the simplest things, and just really ugly stuff. Lemmy has always had some extremists, but I have noticed it’s increased lately. Gods help us all when it gets closer to US elections time!

        And then as the regular types leave because of the toxicity, the extremists/eccentrics stick around and start to be more and more excessive.

        I don’t wanna go off topic, but even here in this YPTB comm, I’m noticing less and less civility and just open blatant bullying to people who disagree.

        Luckily the mods and admin here are awesome and do a great job of removing the really bad stuff pretty quickly!
