- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Ban & comment removal.
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
📑- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).
- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
I commented that I am not sure @arlesh@lemmy.world even verified the story is even real. Instead of proving me with another source that the story is real, I was deemed a troll, banned, and all my comments removed. If this is how criticism is remedied, I am not sure what I want fixed.
What was your exact comment? Are you saying stories on the New York Times web page have to be independently verified? That’s kind of a high bar for a random user to clear.
I believe it was:
Did OP even verify this was real news?
I do not know how to look up my deleted comment.
Are you saying stories on the New York Times web page have to be independently verified?
Secondary sourcing is fine with me, as I am aware random lemmies are not journalists. But there is nothing to unsuggest NYT isn’t making a slop/fakenews. Which why I requested verification, from mod & OP.
I believe it was:
I agree that’s approximately what you replied to my comment. (Voyager won’t let me see it for some reason.) You also made two other top-level comments at basically the same time which were, IIRC, “This is fake news”
And yeah, acccessing deleted comments on Lemmy is annoying. I wish the user who posted it could still view it; it’d make appeals easier.
They were different comments, one to OP, yours, and the last one I corrected as it was my mistake (the one you’re lastly referring to). The one to OP was something along:
NYSlop isn’t a reliable source, find a secondary source
What did you comment to get temp banned? Also what is the source that you used?
I got banned, unbanned, banned, unbanned, and banned again in the span of minutes. I am assuming that @TheTechnician27@lemmy.world is doublechecking my comments to verify if was trolling, or concerned to verify the source on this story is real.
What do you mean by source here? I only cited that NYT publishes slop. Thus my request for both OP and mod verify the source of the story.You were perma banned accidentally. The modlogs show that, so you were then tempbanned instead.
There are alot of people who loose their minds the microsecond someone mentions NYT, ypu might have been pinned as one of them.
Also, why would you think they would verify for you? Is there a rule that they have to verify in that com?
Because as TheTechnician27@lemmy.world demonstrated on the very same screenshot I provided:
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list),
NYT fails the metric of high-quality reliable source, as they state they use slop to type their articles.
This is untrue, as by the coms own metrics, this Wikipedia page is the standard for reliability on the com. That page states that NYT is perfectly fine as a source.
Edit: added context for the green checkmark.
Read the audit date you provided me twice. 2024 isn’t today. Today NYT publishes slop. Today I got permabanned, then temp banned for asking for a secondary source.
Time isn’t a constant, therefore reliability. Blindly trusting one source instead of several, with ranging perspectives is inappropriate low-quality misinforming.
I can see why you were banned.
For wanting high quality sourcing?
After reading through the thread, I understand why the ban was made.
I would say YDI for their revised ban (2 days)
I want to comprehend this logic. Why do I deserve a two day ban for requesting rule 3 to be appropriately enforced?
Because you’re pushing an alternate interpretation of rule 3, which explicitly notes the NYT as a valid source.
If you want to question that, a standalone thread would be more appropriate, though a message to the mod would be a better first start. That thread, however, is 100% appropriate according to the current rules.
Ok🫡, thank you for enlightening me.
The mod is already 🧵, hopefully a responds.
Responds to what? The assertion that the NYT isn’t a trustworthy source?
Same answer, this isn’t the thread for that. See the last rule:
Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.
PTB. That comm is liberal garbage that’s supportive of fascist attacks. No surprise they’re pushing sketchy news.
