This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

MODERATORS
 

I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:

Content WarningGraphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.

While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.

I'm not a fan of his moderation style, but isn't the last paragraph a bit much?

It'd only be enforcing what probably is going to happen voluntarily anyways. My guess is it will be months before he uses the account again because he'll want the drama of 'did he do it?' to play out.

If I thought it wasn't too much I wouldn't have said it, and you saying it is literally supports the first paragraph (edit: which makes it a hilarious joke if that was your intention). He shouldn't be on Lemmy. The damage he's done over time is incalculable and what good would come of letting him back on? Besides it's not like even that could stop him anyways.

I agree he shouldn't be moderating any community. But IP banning him from the whole site seems too much.
