before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com

i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:

and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you’ll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.

it was less than 2 hours. it’s almost not worth discussing.

but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planned and under the terms which i agreed.

db0 has said he doesn’t want to be the benevolent dictator for life, and has specifically both recused himself from ruling on my conduct and encouraged me to post here and in !div0_governance@lemmy.dbzer0.com (though i’m still holding off on that for now).

so, did i deserve it? power tripping bastard? what do you think?

      I’m not the same person you replied to, but the link doesn’t work for me and neither do your images. It might be on my end though

        It works for me, both people seem passionate about their positions. OP did an accusation that the other was lying once. Otherwise was civil? I think op mildly broke rule one on the civility rule, but the 2 hour ban was mislabeled . ( edit it was the other commenter and not op)

        TL;DR intellectual slap fight, probably the mildest of infractions for civility. Have no clue if that caused the ban or not ( edit and someone tried to shut down op)

          OP did an accusation that the other was lying once.

          my response was a direct quote from the parent comment

            Oh yea, I did not read it accurately. Sorry, am sick today.

            In that case PTB and you did not deserve it, the other should have been rebuked, if at all. Obviously someone did not like what you said and gave you the ultimate downvote

      Ban was unjustified. db0 needs to at least point to someone accountable, seeing that he is still the benevolent dictator
