Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.

The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.

    Tankies want to talk a bunch of big shit. Then when you shut them down with a single comment they cry like babies and run for the mod buttons.

    They seem to be banning anything anti Russia just based on your modlog, buy you also have a hard time following their rule2: be nice. So I can kinda see where they are comming from as well.

      Tbf, “Rule” 2 has an unwritten clause at the end, it’s actually “Be nice, unless you’re a tankie shill then you have the power of the mods/admins enabling you being a giant fistula to liberals anyone who disagrees with you in any thread.”

    This was not a common item in 1996 Russia, I think. In the 1990s, TV-based games weren’t catching on in the East nearly as much because it was too difficult to create SECAM color video as opposed to NTSC or PAL. Lucky kids would play on IBM-compatible PCs or Game Boys, less lucky ones on Atari 8-bit computers or this:

    This game is Nu pogodi from the Elektronika M series, a legendary toy in the Eastern Bloc. Manufactured in 1986-1993, it used a chip design stolen from the 1981 Game & Watch Egg game. They didn’t even update the clock to 24 hours, the preferred format in Eastern countries.

      I’m really glad that the digital video era ended the standard fragmentation around the world.

    Well, the community’s rule is specifically not to make political jokes in the https://lemmy.ml/c/nonpolitical_memes subreddit.

    So removing the comment seems acceptable. Banning like this is certainly ridiculous. On the other hand the modlog shows this user “Dasus” to be a serial troll, who got himself banned on many communities.

  • The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.

    FYI, any site bans will also automatically generate community bans for all local communities that user has ever interacted with.
    It’s simply the current behavior for site bans and not an admin going through communities to ban that user.
    That doesn’t mean the site ban is legitimate, just that the community-bans are inherent to any site-bans.

      Honestly it’s not really a good way of doing it in my opinion, seems like it could potentially spam a lot of ban messages if a user interacted with a lot of communities. Would be better if they worked on federating site bans with every community, and also federating the message in the global modlog instead of mod banned user do mod banned user from lemmy.domain.tld or whatever the instance domain is. That way information is still communicated and you don’t get problems with them being able to interact in communities on a server they were banned from. All while not spamming the modlog.

          I’m hoping they implement federation of site bans, I’ve seen a lot of people banned from the site the community is hosted on still replying and pushing their disgusting rhetoric in comments of posts and it still continues to be federated because they don’t get blocked from those communities from a site ban.

          • Home bans federate everywhere.
            Remote bans don’t, which makes sense, because otherwise lemmygrad could ban your sjw account which makes no sense.
            That’s kinda how they go to the workaround of banning from every community in that instance.
            But then .world is still running an old version that doesn’t do that anyway

              Yeah that’s true. I meant more that they’d carry a copy of the site ban record in all the communities hosted by that instance and federate that even when you’re a remote user, it would treat it the same as a community ban from all communities on that instance but only be a single entry and most importantly would apply to every community on that instance.

              The way they do it now is great but as it is the flaw is that they can participate in communities they never participated in before, which can be taken advantage of by malicious users in the same way as the old method where they weren’t given community bans at all.

    Man… I really wish Kbin was the one who took off instead. I know lots of people turned off by the fact that Lemmy has lots of suspicious folks like this.

    So does anyone know good leftist instances that aren’t predominantly cantankerous tankies? Besides slrpnk, those guys seem cool.

      Slrpnk thinks that the only way forward is communism. I’d side step them too.

        It’s my impression of solarpunk, as a general movement moreso than slrpnk specifically, is that the focus is more on local community mutualism than Soviet style central planning. I also think the only way forward is communism, I just think there are many intermediate steps necessary to get to stable communism on a national scale. Strong unions to worker co-ops to market socialism, and so on.

        My main ideological gripe with the tankie instances is the impatient insistence on skipping all those steps that build informed consent through a gradual raising of class consciousness in the proletariat, and going straight to a national scale revolution.
