I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.
The comments in question:
Lemmy.world modlog:
In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:
And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:
This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.
Leaving aside the issue of whether you and/or the other user should've been banned or not, I'm curious as to what you expect members of an entirely different community on an entirely different instance to do about it? Or even feel about it?
Oh, I guess I forgot the context. This was a post on 196 here on blahaj. I think more than anything it’s a PSA that lemmy.world admins will ban you for minor infractions but let their users do the same thing in the same post. The post had been locked, and then a few hours later I got a couple of automoderator messages from lemmy.world about being banned. I’m a Blahaj user so, ya know, it felt relevant.
Edit: Also buried the lede on the post in question, it’s an anti-HP one, so it also makes the decision seem…well, political. I probably was being a cunt, but banning me and not the lemmy.world user sends a message. Here’s the post: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/7445766
Thanks for the explanation.
That’s okay, thanks for listening.
