Some months ago, maybe a year, you responded to one of my comments with something along the lines of, “How many fucking accounts of yours do I have to block?” I set about responding to the comment from each of my accounts so you could block them all then I got distracted and did something else.
All they did was kick a bunch of mods that were harming a community and trying to create drama without even having the balls to discuss openly the reasons they were banning people. The comments about how a moderator that was there for 3 months should have more power than a moderator that had been there for 11 days (despite one of them not having the wellbeing of the community as a priority) is an amazing joke.

everyone should read this post and they will quickly understand after reading op and the comments from people like jerkface why this happened. Posting a modlog without context or explanation is acting in pretty bad faith here.
Also, as a community (lemmy as a whole) we should think if we want to keep people like Beaver who moderates 100+ communities, there are a lot of people moderating way more than they can chew and becoming really stupid, as also seen recently with the bot drama in news on lemmy world. We really love to be repeating reddits problems.
I mean the fact that the 3 of you have a particularly similar aggressive nature and after leaving 1 post all came here to keep up the exact same kind of bitchiness is not helping your argument.
Beaver started banning people for downvoting posts. A fellow mod reached out to Beaver to say that had not been the policy and if they wanted that to be the policy going forward the mods would need to discuss it. Beaver then ignored the request to discuss the new policy that Beaver arbitrarily decided on. The issue here seems to be Beaver, period.
Well I’m not a mod and I didn’t demod you, but from my opinion of how it played out A, you immediately jumped to Beavers defense and said you didn’t have a problem banning people for downvoting, B, immediately tried to downplay them not responding to the mod request to discuss that action, C, based on how you’re responding here sound completely unfit to be a mod which should require a certain level of maturity, and of course D the possibility that you’re an alt.
A) is an opinion and it was stated as an opinion, since the post served in place of the discussion that was skipped. I feel justified in sharing my opinion about the direction I want the community to take. I can’t force my views on anyone, and it seems amazingly insecure to respond to that with a unilateral de-mod.
B) was a request for patience and discussion before people started de-modding each other. But okay, let’s call it “downplaying” for the sake of argument. I don’t see how such downplaying amounts to justification to de-mod me.
C) I can’t respond to but I do find it rather uncharitable. If you can give an example, I’d appreciate that. And D) I can never assure someone who wishes to believe otherwise.
When it comes down to it, it sounds like you are saying the other mod was justified in de-modding me because I voiced disagreement with his choices. Plus a bunch of other stuff about me just plain not deserving to be a mod for reasons I admit I don’t grasp; that I’m just intrinsically deserving of being de-modded. Have I got it?
Good, it seems he’s done much more for that community than Beaver, her alts, and you (assuming you’re not also an alt) have done for it. Generally making toxic and antagonistic memes all day and attacking the instance moderation are not healthy and productive things for a community. It also doesn’t help the movement at all, and actually can end up hurting it.
Okay now I’m just getting ready to block Beaver, thejerkface and Thelemmybud because they just keep spamming this all over the place. I don’t know if their intention is to try to drum up support but it should be obvious to them from the number of downvotes they keep getting that their crocodile tears aren’t working.
I’m neither mod nor member. Maybe people could leave them alone and stop picking fights, then wallowing in self-victimization over reactive abuse, aka abuse-by-proxy. It is abuse and it is ugly.
I’m also neither a mod nor member. I have never posted nor commented in c/vegan. I do not habitually downvote posts from c/vegan. I am banned from c/vegan, as of about a week ago.
If that isn’t overreach, I dunno what is.
If they don’t want non-members to be able to vote or comment on their stuff, that’s fine, take the community private.
Hi vegans! I’m not really inclined to go anywhere near c/vegan while you’re working all this stuff out so while you’re here let me just take this opportunity to say I admire your diet and stuff. Glad you’re around, hope it goes well.
Listen up, carnoid of planet Omnius, many geological surveys have shown robust evidence that Vega is capable of harboring all known forms of humanoid life and that its atmospheric makeup in fact provides benefits for cardiovascular health and hivemind coherency.

Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)

Includes lore like how a instance got it’s name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub’s intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don’t get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama
Poor Jerkface. He’s funny. He threatened to block all of my accounts but didn’t. I like him. He makes me laugh.
Sorry, I did what? “All of my accounts?” Do I know you?
Some months ago, maybe a year, you responded to one of my comments with something along the lines of, “How many fucking accounts of yours do I have to block?” I set about responding to the comment from each of my accounts so you could block them all then I got distracted and did something else.
Am I a sockpuppet? Do my parents know this?? WHY DID THEY NEVER TELL ME?!
JF, nobody accused you of sockpuppetry. Meatpuppetry maybe, but the only sockpuppet I can see is Thelemmybud.
I don’t wish for us to interact.

I take it that was a swipe at me.
Sorry you feel that way.
I don’t do as much moderation as my co-mods, and that’s by design. All our moderators are active and spread across the globe.
I just happen to be the face of the community.
Also, thanks for being civil. You don’t want to see the DMs mods got. It was brutal.
95 of those are inactive.
There are mods on LW who moderate 10 active communities. Even further, any LW admins can virtually mod all of the LW community.
Indeed.

Aggressive? Gasp. BITCHINESS? I am wounded. But I still love you.
Would you care to assay on what justification exists to demod me?

The only part of your biased, self-serving spin on everything I said which I agree with is the part where you said you are not deserving to be a mod.
Clearly you are not interested in engaging. I still love you, though. I just don’t like you very much right now.
I’m cheering for you.
He ain’t even done yet.

Are vegans vegan? Watching mods eat each other brings up weird questions for me.
Fuck, sorry, it was a cheat day. (Eating the rich is still vegan tho btw)
Obviously truth… The richer they are, the more they appear to have IQs lower than carrots.
Eat the rich: it’s good for the country AND your health!
They grow up so fast.
This is simultaneously the most hilarious and least consequential meltdown on the internet this year.

Crazy how much juicy drama that community has been providing. The rest need to step up or this place will just be about vegans.
And bean memes… Hey! WAIT A SECOND!
Sorry, this whole thing was a guerilla marketing campaign for legumes all along.
Modpost on the whole thing:
https://lemmy.world/post/19731457
That’s a good post.
Amazingly level headed response actually, I have no criticism whatsoever.
I’m just going to take a wild guess that the two downvotes on your comment are two of the three ex-mods, based on their behaviour in this thread
Hi vegans! I’m not really inclined to go anywhere near c/vegan while you’re working all this stuff out so while you’re here let me just take this opportunity to say I admire your diet and stuff. Glad you’re around, hope it goes well.
You have been banned by c/vegan
Can’t wait for this to be lemmy’s /r/Pyongyang

Even though it’s scientifically unsupportable, I’m still genuinely interested in what it’s like to live on Vega.
Listen up, carnoid of planet Omnius, many geological surveys have shown robust evidence that Vega is capable of harboring all known forms of humanoid life and that its atmospheric makeup in fact provides benefits for cardiovascular health and hivemind coherency.
