The enema/douche bag at your service.

Literal douche bag.

That's pretty funny actually.

1. Then the mods should be honest about why he's being banned in the modlog.
2. Him (charitably) being an overzealous meanie in defense of an honest brand of feminism does not make him a shitlord.
3. Sometimes people need to be dunked on for both their own good and the good of the community, obviously myself included. A perfectly appropriate venue for some gentle dunking is a shitposting community.

It's a shame that the thread got locked. It was getting heated, but IMO that's a good sign that what you're talking about actually needs to be debated.

Okay but you can always make your own shitposting community on your own instance with your own rules if you feel so strongly against the rules. That option simply was not available on R*ddit. The point of Lemmy isn't that no one abuses their mod and admin powers ever, but that the system is set up so that you can just go to another Lemmy server, which simply was not available on R*ddit if you pissed off the site admins.

Although I personally find Lemmy users nicer and moderation better on average, their character is not the point. It is merely the result of an imperfect but better system than R*ddit.

Agreed. I think moderating comments needs to be banished. The community can self-moderate with voting.

Banning users is pointless. Accounts can be created very easily. With decentralized one doesn't even need to go to the lengths one does with Reddit.

Moderating should be reserved for keeping a sub's posts relevant to the group's purpose and nothing else.

It's just public, unlike reddit. There have been countless controversies over poor moderation on reddit. On lemmy everyone can see when someone is banned for bullshit reasons and call it out. Don't mistake awareness for frequency

Will you wash away the shit apples from the shit tree?

I’ll have you know I graduated top of my shit class in the Shitting Acadamey, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Public Toliets, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in sewage warfare and I’m the top shitter in the entire US Sewage System. You are nothing to me but just another target.

I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can shit in over seven ways, and that’s just with my bare butt with my hands and feet planted.

Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed shitting, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Sewage Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable shit stain off the face of the side of the toilet.

If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn dolt. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it.

You’re a dead man walking, and I’m the one holding the trigger. You can’t hide, you can’t run, and you can’t escape. I’ll find you, and I’ll make you wish you were never born. You’re a pathetic little worm, and I’m part of the Sewage Aligators, and I’ll crush you like the insignificant insect you are.

You’re Fucking Dead, Kiddo

Can't wait to wet my willy. /s

It's inevitable. Power corrupts.

Same, but honestly it seems worse here.
