    Ask yourselves if you really want to make LW your home base, because I do not.

    That was sort of my thinking as well. I’ve been trying to get a clear answer for a ban that archived everything to show that they were just banned for criticism, and I haven’t gotten a direct answer other than a claim that contradicts the evidence.

    Purging an account, banning it, and then allowing them to sweep everything under the ban rug is a direct attack on the credibility of user accounts, and I can understand people not trusting a server with it when they do that, and it’s even worse when those admins are capable of being charismatic so people are much less keen to question them.

    That’s something that abusive power mods on reddit did all the time. They tried to sweep everything under the ban rug, keep quiet about it and only give out vague reasons, and then just label the user a shithead when they inevitably then had to proceed to try to scale it up, which meant trying to attract more attention, which made people question them more, which just swept them up with the people that really deserved it, and it just became a vicious cycle.

    The one big tell is that when somebody really deserves it, they don’t really hide it, whereas when its much more questionable, they keep so quiet that you have to wonder whether the person in question killed anyone, which just adds to it.

      You can see how their admins behave in this thread…

        Uh, is @Antik@lemm.ee really Antik and not just someone trying to supplant their identity by naming themselves antik@lemmy.world? That … just raises so many questions if so.

          Yes. Its a Lemmyworld admin with a lemmy.ee account behaving like a absolute outcast.

          No its the same person definitely otherwise he wouldn’t be following me after they banned me from .world

          He is a absolutely fragile person and a creep following others around the fediverse.

            Yeah, I saw. Just surprised to see an admin acting this way, you’ve basically been quite reserved up to this point from my perspective. I was really hoping to give my suspicions more of a benefit of a doubt, but you just went and accused me of being someone else for replying to their comments…

            I can’t talk for your argument with them or what you are accusing them off, but you’ve obviously read the first of my comments in this thread, and I have nothing else to add. The only thing I am doing is what the intent of lemmy is for me, seeing how instances handle their administration to make an informed decision about how well I can trust them and participate in them. That means checking up and following up communities and posts like the one we are on. Don’t let your paranoia chase your own tail.
