Ok, I’m sorry for this question, and if this isn’t the right community, please let me know where I should ask it.
So a user in a different community is making a big deal about how terrible I am and that I have been “perma-banned” form an instance.
And he posted this screenshot as “proof.”
But I have no indication I have been perma-banned from any communities or instances and never even heard of this unix instance and I don’t even know how to use unix.
I’ve attached a screenshot. Can you guys better explain to me what this means?
And for reference here is the post of him saying it to me: https://lemmy.world/comment/12216663
I legit have no clue what he is trying to imply. Any pointers?
I think it’s kind of like an email, weather or text app syncing across devices, only here communities. Please don’t be sorry for the question. Come to Kbin.earth
So what would I have done that resulted in a permaban if I’ve never even heard of that instance? I have only ever posted here on Lemmy.world.
The user who posted it is trying to make some point that I am an obvious troll and says that I got perma banned for “toxic” behavior and then posted that screenshot. And I couldn’t really reply, because I had no idea what any of it meant! I asked him to post shots of any comments on that instance that would have resulted in a permaban, but he declined.
And thank you for the Kbin.earth invite! I have heard others mention it as well, so I will definitely look into it!
Since instances are federated, posts show up across instances that federate with yours. Please try not to worry about it. All of us project, to greater or lesser degrees.
Thank you. I was just curious because the guy is really laying into me and laughing about it, but other than his screenshot of an instance I have never heard of, he has no posts to show me that would have gotten me banned. lol
But hey, probably already spent too much time. I think he may have been behind the whole thing. He’s been following me on Lemmy a few days now. Thank you! You guy are awesome!
Thank you. Hurt people hurt people. And the wheel of samsara keeps turning. It is hard, but let us focus on giving ourselves, each other, and in due time, those who traumatize us the love we seek. We can do this. We will stumble. We will fall. We will get up and try again, and again and again. Bullying is ugly. Click on his user name and block him. It’s sick and sad if mods are allowing this, rather than not noticing. You can complain, if you think it will matter. Just be prepared if may not.
It’s funny they’re trying so hard to play innocent
The only thing I’ve seen toxic so far is how he’s been treated. I’ll tell you something though, I see his abusers being very personality disordered, and it couldn’t hurt to self reflect. The loudest voices aren’t correct, just loud and very badly behaved.
You may need to go back to when he showed up here, when people responded to the concept of third party candidates in general, not him or their assumptions about him specifically.
After a while he made a name for himself, and people started to respond to him differently after evaluating his many interactions.
Let’s compare, for example, to mozz, who probably has a fair amount of respect for his thoughtful and comprehensive replies. Or jeffw, who also seems to want to generate traffic but appears to be much more genuine about republishing political articles of general interest.
UniversalMonk has earned some of the negative response he’s getting.
Why would I have posts to prove a reason you got banned? I mean even besides technical hurdles with federation making that difficult, why would I invest more time into this issue? Lol you got banned and the person who did it said you’re toxic, and I can agree. Not sure why you’re drawing more attention to it
Because as many in the tech thread said, it could be for nothing. There are no specific posts that show me even posting to that sub. So it’s not proof of anything other than some person in some instance (where there is no proof that I even posted) decide that they would ban me. And my post history also shows ZERO evidence that I ever posted there.
The tech thread answers and the no stupid questions answers: https://lemmy.world/post/19485386 https://lemmy.world/post/19485485
And really hard to take your seriously. Besides just being banned from World news for your comments. You’ve just had some comments here, that were directed towards me, removed for civility.
So now that this has been resolved, and as I’ve mentioned several times, I believe we should focus on discussing the content of the articles posted from here on out, in order to keep with the spirit of this community. Thank you!
Actually what I see is a very loud group of users abusing people of very nasty things they themselves do. It’s clearly abuse, clearly gaslighting, and appears to be some unholy amalgamation of Dark Triad personality disorders. if instance users need more mods, more need to come forward and their post history thoughtfully vetted.
I got those same messages on a new account. Don’t worry about.
Ahh, ok. Thank you! I was figuring it couldn’t be too serious since i had never even knew about it until this random user starting posting screenshots of it and calling me toxic. lmao
This community is awesome and helpful. Thank you!
