r/Art has quietly gone into lockdown and is no longer accepting submissions after mods began facing severe blowback for banning @haydclay for mentioning the word “print” on the subreddit.
I don’t think Lemmy is any better. The other day, a Lemmy moderator didn’t like a video I shared about the potential collapse of the US and banned me from eight communities. As far as I know, the video wasn’t even AI-generated, so I don’t know where he got that idea from.
I loved pissing off the actual public freak out mods. I never broke the rules just went against their personal politics
This is the video in question, yes? Any time-stamp I go to is an AI-generated image.
Also echoing that fediverse mods are no different
I am new to Lemny myself, I do see more productive conversations within here vs Reddit. Less pointless question as well. Mods in general postives & negatives right? Power, corrupts absolutely unless you hmhave checks/balance within a community. Most people don’t ask the community.
It entirely depends on the community. I’m sure there are judicious, patient moderators here. I mean, in a small community there’s not much work to do, so extra care can be made. But moderation is also a thankless job, and it honestly erodes your soul.
The easiest thing for a mod to do is say “This person broke a rule, I’m banning them from the entire instance”. The fair thing to do is issue a warning and remove a comment/post, maybe a temp ban. But most people see one infraction, even a mistaken one, as proof that you aren’t fit for the community.
Exactly, that’s were it goes all wrong.
I’m not sure if I’m ahead of the game having left reddit entirely before I could get banned from anything, or if I’m missing out on a core cultural experience.
Would you like for us to “yell at you, tell you that your stupid & that you in the wrong subreddit?” That, is what your missing out on! Not much.
Sounds like the kind of power mod who spends his evenings sat in a hotel cuck chair because that’s the most intimacy they’ll ever have with a woman.
I made a comment on one sub that broke a vague rule that they deemed inappropriate… (something to the effect of making your comments tactful)
When asking about their decision and defending my comment they banned me from all the subreddits they modded.
I was a user for 14 years… Haven’t been back to Reddit since. ✌🏼
if you think lemmy is different, you are sorely mistaken. kids on power trip are the same everywhere, regardless of platform.
the difference is that there are other duplicate communities on other lemmy instances that you can join to get your content while reddit only has that one subreddit.
They literally said this in the post
I think they added that after this comment was made, judging by the post times.
You might be right, but remember some of your bans were well deserved as you massively trolled us
i have no idea wtf you are and i am pretty sure i never “massively trolled” anyone. are you confused? did i just get personal stalker? :D
Yea but on lemmy you can see who silenced and wrongfully banned who, easily, right from the removed comment.
Good luck doing that on reddit.
The same, my ass. I haven’t yet been banned here for calling bullshit bullshit.
Where and how? Because to me it just says “a mod”?
I could check by clikcing the moderation history on the removed comment, in the 3 dot menu. I’m on lemmy.zip tho not the desktop or mobile versions. I saw all the history of that one banned person with all their removed comments and messages from the mod.
If I do it for myself, I only see “mod”. Am on mobile though. I heard that admins can sometimes see mod names, so perchance do you host your own instance?
same here. i am also on lemmy.zip.
what is “not the desktop or mobile versions”? what other versions are there?
but that debate aside, even if it were true, seeing some mix of characters other than “mod” is not really useful in any way.
Huh I see the same thing. I could’ve sworn I saw the mod’s name a while ago too… Either way at least here there’s a log with some sort of reason.
Kids or poorly socialised adults?
Both
Art has been one of the most ban happy subs since forever. The only major one I was ever banned from
I agree about reddit mods but you should be just as embarrassed about this post.
Why?
Being an asshole in the exchange you posted and as others said you were banned for trying to sell prints of AI “art” slop. Fucking pathetic lmao. The fact you are asking why is showing you have zero capacity for self reflection.
You seen to have missed that the one who posted this to Lemmy is not the same person that was banned from r/art. OP here isn’t the one arguing with the mod.
Okay but the point stands that this is a piss poor example because the mod is in the right here.
I don’t know, surely GOP supporter is more embarrassing ??
that’s just a reddit mod in a different font
OP is hawking AI art “prints” on an art subreddit.
It’s weird but I’m with the reddit mod on this one, lmao.
Where does it say any of that?
It doesn’t but a quick glance at their reddit post history shows a bunch of terrible AI slop.
Where did you get that from? I got that story from twitter and it doesn’t say anything about AI anywhere.
ahhh the truth comes out… ‘why can’t I spam my ai-shitstream to your sub? ugh, power trippin bastards!’
But that’s not what OP did at all? The truth didn’t come out, Chloroken hair made something up.

Everyone sucks here
Incredibly rare reddit mod W
Some people would derive real psychiatric benefit from just one haymaker straight to the goddamn mouth
r/art is the worst lol
They banned one dude and then a bunch of us for saying
Classic Reddit moment
It’s just a terrible subreddit to begin with. The artwork is all shit and uninspiring stuff you would see from a teenager. I’ll be the first to admit i have no artistic ability, but all the posts were just the portfolio of high schoolers
I wonder why that could be… Surely the rules & mods being obnoxious has nothing to do with it.
I got permabanned from [email protected] for asking about the rules in the sticky thread for questions about the rules. Reddit power-tripping mods suck, but we should also be wary about tolerating the same sort of mentality here.
I just looked out of curiosity and I get it, tbh, though you should probably have been given more notice before a temp ban, not a permaban off the bat. You seem to me like you don’t want to follow the rule regarding religion. I’m not trying to start shit, but it’s not a very pleasant set of interactions that follow, and that’s probably not what the mods are looking for.
Being upset about a rule and refusing to follow it are entirely different things, whether the mod understands that or not.
The motherfucker banned me preemptively for something he thought I might do. Not only were there not escalating consequences for multiple offenses (as any reasonable moderation standards would have), there wasn’t even a first offense!
Typical reddit moderator being a power hungry bastard.
Apropos: [email protected]
