I used to see this on Reddit, I’m disappointed this behaviour is also on Lemmy.
Users collecting mod status on multiple communities, and then using that power to mass-ban a single user from a bunch of communities.
Modlog show how incredibly trigger happy some mods can be. Minor transgressions, deserving to have their comment removed at least, but then banned from unrelated communities as a consequence. This will only get worse as users become supermods.
Edit: It seems this is how an instance ban is reported, by banning from any communities the user has participated in. Then perhaps it isn’t all as bad as it seems.
That person was banned for anti-semitism and various other trolling: https://lemmy.ml/modlog?userId=17758269 . And banning from each community is the current hack for how to also do instance bans(fixed already in main)
Creating public modlogs was almost pointless, because people just use screenshots instead of actual modlog links.
I just learnt this in another comment. I didn’t realise instance bans were reported like this.
Re: screenshots – this community rules require censored screenshots.
No probs. It’s always better to link the actual modlog, otherwise you have no idea why someone was banned.
The account you linked is from lazysoci.al but the one in the screenshot is from lemmy.world. It looks like it’s this one https://lemmy.ml/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=3194530
Ah. That person is telling people to kill themselves, so that ban also makes sense.
