I got banned earlier today with the message “rule 1”, no other information about why, or which comment broke the rule. As far as I can tell it was this one [https://lemm.ee/post/40926293/14431597], which just says “We want the bot gone. That’s it. It’s really that simple.” So I checked the modlog for other bans, and @[email protected] [https://lemmings.world/u/aniki] was banned today as well, also just for “rule 1”, probably either for the comment saying “a stupid bot writing useless bullshit” [https://lemm.ee/post/40926293/14430488] or “This is what you call “Not listening to criticism.”” [https://lemm.ee/post/40926293/14429206], neither of which are an attack on any person. (Also earlier today @[email protected] [https://lemmy.ca/u/MindTraveller] was banned with the message “fuck off”, which I’m pretty sure is not a reason to ban someone from a major community, but doesn’t appear to be related to the MBFC bot.) One more today, @[email protected] [https://lemm.ee/u/stormesp] was banned, again just “rule 1”, last comment being this one [https://lemm.ee/post/40926293/14416892], again not an attack on any person. So what’s the deal here? I couldn’t find any rules for mods on lemmy.world with a brief poke around, but are we letting mods run major communities like little fiefdoms, banning people for criticism?
