everyone's trying to figure out where the victim blaming is, I'm more baffled by "you don't know that" we don't know that communities are called communities? we don't know that subreddits are on reddit? I guess we need this mod to drop a list of the things we're allowed to know

You do know that.

Yeah, all those times he killed innocent people, very surprising stuff

Everyone who's ever died deserved it.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

(It's a parody sub, so part of the joke is the wacky rules and bans.)

It's pretty weird over on lemmy.sdf and I try to just take qrstuv (EDIT: this was wesker, not qrstuv. Wesker also gets up to some trolling) as some odd performance art. Funhole, Linux Surrealism, and bun alert are great, but most every other community is run by qrstuv, and they can be oddly tyrannical outside of Funhole. Their entire account is practically digital performance art. EDIT: Wesker ...

qrstuv complains that he got banned in subs that he had "never heard of" but looks like the reason he got banned is he went to those very subs to downvote a bunch of stuff. So I'm not thinking this is a real thing. lol

Dumb. I'm sure it's just the height of comedy to someone.

Even the OP's complaint of the post you were responding do was BS. He says never heard of those communities, but looks like he was downvoting a bunch of posts in those communities, which seems to part of his schtick. He wrote "subreddits" on purpose to get people riled up. The whole thing is BS from the beginning that you got pulled into.

Sure, it's kinda dumb and goofy. But at least now you know it wasn't serious, and your ban is only temp. When your ban is up in a couple of days, you can go and participate and even post your ban from there in there. Then you'll get a bunch of "So sorry that happened to you" And "poop in jail" comments.

I personally think that Lemmy is too serious most of the time. Not that I'm a huge fan of that comm's humor, but it can be fun to roll with it sometimes.

Unfortunately part of the joke is laughing at the newbies who go in there say something, then get banned. So whether you like the performance art or not, you've become a part of it! lol

If this is "joking", I'd rather just block the whole "sub" and move on. Seems pretty low effort, like covering a hole with a rug and laughing when someone falls in.

I don't disagree about Lemmy being serious, but this is certainly not the antidote.

I blocked it a while ago. I only unblocked it as a result of your post to see what goes on. It hasn't changed at all. lol

There's a Mitchell and Webb sketch about the Apprentice being full of idiots, for an audience of idiots. At the end, they note there are some non-idiots who watch out of a sense of irony.

"And remind me, how do these ironic non-idiots show up in the ratings?"
"They show up the same, my friend."

So I'm not feeling much better knowing this is a mod abuse done ironically.

Mod abuse hotline is a circlejerk creation.
It's not a place to call out mod abuse, it's a call for the mods to abuse you.

A play on words and interpretations...

Thanks. I've been told a number of times in this post. I get it.

This is what I suspected from the mod comments on the post. I can't decide if it's dumb or funny, but it's good to know that is what it's meant to be.
