Mods and admins following their published rules? Inconceivable

Im out of the loop? What is going on?

Tldr: people calling for the murder of people with different perspectives and opinions. For more details see the yptb community

Yep, yep, and yep.

To add more context, here's a more recent post where they're trying to make themselves the victims and why I called out the DARVO behavior: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/67858553

It's a long thread, but they flat out admit they have absolutely no evidence [1] for their witch hunts other than biased assumptions based on "I was modded but X wasn't" and other unsubstantiated, jumping-to-insane-conclusions nonsense. Each conspiracy they've concocted in YPTB builds on the one before until it's "fact" that everyone they finger-point at as a Zionist is one and deserves death (transitive property applies).

Honestly, good riddance if they and their like-minded crazies retaliate with reciprocal defederatoin. It just means the rest of the fediverse will be that much saner.

[1] It's a LW link because that was a comment from a user there and it's where the relevant thread starts.

Edit to add footnote.

Last time I asked for evidence, I got banned from several communities and one instance. According to them, questioning their assertions makes me a zionist and deserving of death. Tankie behavior, for sure.

Much of fediverse is every bit as toxic as reddit ever was, but at least we still have some places of refuge. Thank you for sticking around and insisting on being sane. I continue to report and challenge anyone calling for violence.

Good deal, and hey! Been a while.

Yeah, I've been somewhat active behind the scenes working on Tesseract when I have time (so, rarely) but haven't been active much beyond throwing out some oldies in 90s music and the occasional spam/troll sweep for what the automod misses.

I dislike fedi-drama, but I don't even feel bad that this particular drama is finally coming to a head because it's more or less the same problem I've highlighted many times over the last couple of years. Won't hold my breath, but I'm genuinely hoping this ends up being the schism the fediverse needs because I still feel it's doomed otherwise. Normal people aren't going to want to sign up and/or stick around when it's just violent crazies finger pointing about who should be murdered and how.

That, and concocting conspiracy theories about every mod action that always leads to "mod/admin is clearly a [whatever], and [whatever] deserves to be murdered".

100%. I'm embarrassed to recommend Lemmy to people now

Test comment. I wrote out a really long reply to your comment below but it got nuked, I am working with the PieFed dev team to hopefully fix this from happening to others. So I guess just ignore this for now.
