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?

    “this implies correcting misinformation should be discouraged”

    “I report that community rule violation, that is not trolling as I see it”

    “I am respectful of the rules of communities”

    This is a small snippet of your history. It’s a 2 hour ban, you can either chill or not, up to you.

      I’m not antivegan, but I am anti-consumer activism

      Just because animals cry out and try to run away when you hurt or try to kill them doesn’t mean they feel pain or want to live

      What a disengenous asshat. I can’t stand these people who are all like, “My only problem with your cause is I don’t think you’re persuing it the right way,” but then they very obviously disagree with the cause and are just saying that shit because they aren’t willing to defend their actual positions.
