Yes, I think that the idea of having a cop hovering over my conversation, dictating who can talk and what they can say, is abhorrent. I admit it.

So I asked. Discussion happened. Some of it hot. Some of it useful. It was going places.

Then the mod of asklemmy bans the whole show.

The self-awareness of a paramecium, I tell you.

    For the context “Do we need administrators and moderators to manage our conversations for us?”

    The modlog tells “Trolling/Sealioning”.

    You should be able to show your posts and comments (they are still visible to you even though the post was removed). Without that, it’s difficult to give an opinion.

      The AskLemmy post and many of the replies were phrased more like it was just bitching/moaning that all of Lemmy isn’t some freeze-peach free-for-all rather than any kind of conversation starter.

      OP, YDI.

      I’m not gonna screencap the entire thread, but this gives you a picture since OP doesn’t feel like sharing and wants to be all “trust me, bro, I was CeNSORed!”

      OP is also alt of @spiderwort@lemm.ee who was instance-banned for bigotry (I don’t have the context for that one, that’s just what the admin wrote in the modlog), and brought some great hits to c/ShowerThoughts such as “99% of the people here are dumb as a box of rocks”

      Bonus from their older, now-banned alt:

        Oh. Oh. OP wants moderators and admins to leave filtering out CP to the individual users.

        Enough said. Even 4chan doesn’t play around with that shit.

      Hmm. I linked to the removed post (as it appears in my user history). And it is visible to me. Is it not visible to you?

      The modlog says “trolling/sealioning” for my ban. It doesn’t say anything about the removal of the post. Or the removal of a some of my replies. So I can’t get a link there.

        It’s not as it has been removed. You should have a “removed” green label next the the title.

        For us it’s

        You can just post screenshots of your comments.

          I mean, no, I’m not going to go through and take screenshots or try to recreate the removed replies. My hunger for validation is not that great.

          Yeah, he removed half my comments too. Just made a mess of the whole thing. (And by “he” I mean one of the mods of asklemmy, who’s actual id is hidden for… his protection or something. Goddamn this petty oompaloompa shit gets old.)
