I recently got banned from [email protected] 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 :

Edit: Well it seems like people here don’t agree with me. OK. I’m locking this post now as the very thing that I said happens has happened. Right here. I was called a bigot for being against DEI. Calling people racists or bigots and/or claiming harassment when those people call You out and then screaming VICTIM is simply unacceptable

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I know, right? They really thought they were cooking, like a gamer martyr.

being called a bigot for standing against DEI in video games.

I love this response because thats still being bigoted.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

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.

'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?

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 [email protected] is now locked and dead for now.

Oh hey! That was me! Nice to see you around! heart-sickle That mod was a piece of work, hilarious little saga all around

Hey, fancy seeing you, comrade! It was wild, and it was hilarious to see them shut it all down. <3
