    For those unaware, Ye Power Tripping Bastards (YPTB) is a heavily biased snark community that Tankies use to target moderators who remove their extremism. Threads featured in this community are often heavily brigaded and filled with trolls and vote manipulation from alt accounts and from specific users.

    It’s a good idea in concept, highlighting mod abuse, but unfortunately, they very rarely discuss what rules were violated and instead use it to push Tankie narrative. You even have Davel, Lemmy.ml admin, frequenting the community.

    I recommend [email protected], though I may make my own considering @[email protected] is inactive

      You have a very biased view of that community but whatever. I am curious how that post would be considered off topic. Seems like it could be PTB. Could make a post about it.

      Unfortunately I believe the second community is satirical.

      Creating another one isn’t a bad idea, pluralism is good. But I think it takes a lot of care and self-awareness to manage such a space with impartiality.

        Literally banned all of db0 because they called out his bad faith actions.

          They were banned for brigading and vote manipulation, and refused to stop when I supplied evidence and asked them to stop manipulating threads.

          The bad-faith argument also doesn’t hold much water, considering they were the first to ban me and members of this community. After that, I had no choice but to return the favour and ban them. Mind you, I haven’t banned the admins.

        I am biased, but I’ve also been on the receiving end of their harassment and constant brigading, and their moderator team did nothing when presented with evidence. They even made a fake post about me and spread it everywhere. So, yeah, I am most definitely biased, having been a victim of their snark.

        I think basing it on SJW is good, considering how SJW decisions are largely decided by community members.

            This is the first I’ve heard about this. Do you think it’s worth pinging the admin so he can explain?

              If you know anything about me and my community, it’s that I’ve openly criticised imaq on several occasions. Any form of bigotry is not okay and if you find any, please report it.

        Yes, I’m aware of that fake post, which was created by dbzer0 and Hexbear. I’ve messaged Wesker to remove it, but he is inactive, which is why I’ve been considering making a new one.

        Or, better yet, perhaps you could create a new one? You’re quite up to date with fedidrama, and you seem rather impartial, given our interactions. Perhaps it’ll be an opportunity for your idea of introducing mods with different viewpoints to maintain the community’s quality?

          I have enough on my plate to moderate another power tripping community, this would be a lot of work based on the past few weeks.

          I’m personally satisfied with the dbzer0 version, I know it’s not your case, but I’m not going to start another one.

          The post was literally just created by a guy, and hexbear had nothing to do with it.
          Hell, the posts were removed from dbzer0 for being misinformation.

            They were only removed after I threatened action. I know if a user made fake information in my community or instance I’d give them a perma

    YPTB is the same as the one on reddit.

    You either agree with the owner’s opinions on mod behavior or get banned.

    I pointed out admin abuse by Ada from .blahaj and was banned for it.

        Oh yeah, it was you

        You were the one who whined to get me banned.

        Because you can’t stop making accounts for attention.

        Once enough people block your ass you make another account.

        Because you are a toxic troll.

        Good luck getting me banned for this comment loser.

        Now this account is blocked too. :3

        Fuck off with your troll ass sonichu pfp.

          As stated in my bio

          Other accounts: @[email protected] main account @[email protected] for Fediverse meta discussions @[email protected] for instance disagreements monitoring

          They are 3 months old (when the piefed.zip instance got created), 2 years old, 6 months old.

          I created this alt because lazysoci.al is one of the few instances with a very short defederation list, required to see all instances messages in inter instance drama.

          Everybody can read your modlog and mine and see who’s toxic.

            I’m curious, Blaze, but what’s your opinion on creating alt accounts and federation as a whole? You sort of need to create alts at some point to engage in federation.
