As the current moderators of this community are no longer here
Jesus fuck, what happened to them? :O It might be a crucial information for potential new moderators…
It looks like instance admins disliked his thoughts on Sync app business model so he was banned.
His post: https://lemmy.ml/post/5128305
Modlog: https://lemmy.world/modlog?userId=49420Which is a sign of the communities ultimate motivations, how disappointing and a sign to avoid.
God, corporate monetization is like an infestation, ruining all it can until it’s no longer profitable and moves on.
Banned for critiquing a Lemmy mobile app. Sync. I would avoid doing anything here period after seeing that.
Hasn’t lemmy.world also blocked the Piracy community earlier? What the fuck is wrong with them?
They want to keep it marketable for the future, it also helps that they can claim it’s to avoid legal backlash. World is a big basket of eggs right now, so the business buzzards are hovering and digging in to stake claim.
I would also like to know this.
Stating that Sync client has ads, on a post about Lemmy clients, is toxic.
Signed, lw admins
Thank you kindly.
Hey!
To those coming here in support of Izzy. I get it. You see them link to ONE post of where they were critical of Sync and thought that was all there is to it. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg that Izzy was so kind to share with you. In reality, this has been going on for months. Every time a thread would even mention Sync, Izzy would be in it derailing the conversation. It’s ok to be critical, it’s ok to not like Sync. But the criticism was never constructive nor helpful.
When Izzy finally got banned for a day yesterday we hoped that they would understand. Instead they started throwing accusations, demanding apologies and repercussions against the admin that banned them. There was a line that was crossed - and they got permanently banned. In their repeal they even started accusing the admin of having “Ulterior motives” and “financial incentives” instead of looking at their own actions and the many warnings they got.
So what happened had nothing to do with this community, but all with their behavior. And we hope someone will be interested in taking over this community because it would be sad to have to close this down due to the actions of one person. And especially as a moderator of a big community they should know how to behave and be respectful to others.
I’m closing this thread.
Just unban Izzy!
This is crazy that he got banned for the comment about Sync, he expressed his opinion is a totally respectful way. Unlike the Sync-users-mob. Maybe something happend on private-msg ?

Maybe it is, but it’s not the point, is it ? Why would anyone get banned for respectfully expressing an opinion on this topic ?
OK, you are the new mod.
I’ll help
