Hi, Feddit admin here. I would like to apologize for B-TR3E’s behavior and have given them a temporary instance ban for their misbehavior not only here but on other comms as well.

Their misbehavior was brought to my attention and it was enough to take action since we expect our users to behave regardless of which instance they are on (at least when it comes to common courtesy).

No. I said I had the feeling that the accounts could be associated with each other. Also I never contacted Aster or any of the others in the screenshot. There is a troll trying to get both at me and at other users and trying to fan the flames.

No I didn’t, though. There is legitimately someone who has been doing this stuff for at least eight months now and I originally thought it was another antiyanks attack, but other admins told me that transphobia is untypical of antiyanks.

Also if you can link the account, I would gladly ban it at least from Feddit.

Going through all the reports is a pain in the ass today.

Sounds great. I hope it has video chat and screenshare or will implement it soon.

There is stoat.chat (formerly Revolt). But you wont find much help on Lemmy or Mastodon. A lot of people on the fediverse have an aversion to Discord because when they try it, they have difficulty with it like a senior citizen with a smartphone. Even though Matrix and Discord arent similar, people on the fediverse will still try to recommend you Matrix, because they think Discord is just another messenger and not like having a forum, teamspeak, jitsi and other stuff in one program. And even if you explain it like that, they will be like “but then you can just use a forum, matrix, jitsi and a screenshare program separately” or something like that.

Signal and Discord are two different types of messenger. Discord is more a hybrid of a forum and like Teamspeak, but with vidchat and screenshare as well as a lot of aesthetic options.

Matrix and XMPP based apps wont cut it for most Discord users. Guilded was taken offline in December. Revolt is now called stoat.chat and is so far the most promising alternative for Discord.

Yeah I wasnt terribly sure what the conditions were. This is like my second time using it in one and a half years

So since it is inconvenient for your side, you are going to deny that these people are genuine?

Also like I said to DraconicNEO, we should disengage because we’ve gone pretty off topic. You can make a dedicated thread elsewhere to discuss meta.

You get warned and/or banned on Feddit for also celebrating the massacre of Palestinians and being for the destruction of Palestine. Don’t jump to conclusions just because you feel you’ve been censored.

Also I am going to say let’s disengage. We’ve veered terribly far off topic. If you have beef with Feddit, then start a thread elsewhere and maybe one of the other admins can properly explain everything.

I have had to ban plenty of people who celebrated the Oct 7 massacres and then people then call me Zionist all the time because I wont let them glorify murder. It doesn’t matter who does the murdering whether Hamas or IDF, it is still wrong.

I am against the genocide of Palestinians and recognize that it must be stopped. The difference is just that I am not revanchist and don’t glorify the murder of civilians regardless if they are Palestinian or Israeli.

Again we have to obey laws where our server is hosted and where most of our userbase or face being shut down. Also hateful speech is generally not allowed on feddit, regardless if it is from Anti-Zionists or Zionists. We have banned a fair share of Antideutsche too.

I am in exactly the same predicament but I can limit it to one time meat a week or a shitload of eggs/dairy. But since I dont eat terribly big portions, I have to eat meat from time to time so I don’t start feeling like shit.

If you believe you can have a discussion with them, then why do you call them an avid troll? Usually you cant have productive discussions with trolls.

Then call for the destruction of Israel somewhere else than Feddit. We don’t want to get into legal trouble with Austrian authorities just because you felt like calling for something that is legally understood as a call for genocide in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and therefore qualifies as hatespeech (legally speaking).

And this kind of behavior is one of the reasons why you arent welcome on feddit anymore. You are spiteful and get abusive.

Also if you weren’t follow them around and they are such an issue, why haven’t you blocked them?

When they cause trouble on Feddit, then Feddit admins will deal with them accordingly. It doesn’t change the fact that you have been toxic yourself in the past which is why I doubt you are as innocent as you make yourself out to be.

Also zionist instance? We have to be careful with anti-zionist criticism for legal reasons if you had bothered reading our rules. Things you can say on Feddit: “Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians.” “Netanyahu should be in prison.” etc. Things that you can’t say on Feddit: Calling for genocide against Israelis, calling for the destruction of Israel, supporting Hamas, antisemitic talking points, etc.

These differences should be clear as day.
