Cry me a fucking river.

Turns out, that is how it works.

It’d be cool, though, if the eyes didn’t have it. Can you mask out regions of the STL when applying fuzzy skin?

OK, but it’s gone. It’s been deleted. It’s moot now.

Besides, by clicking on any of the comment links you’ll find the community easily. At least you could before it was deleted.

I don’t know. He had banned 3-4 other people for questioning the community name, without even replying to them. One comment: banned. No explanation and a modlog note of “uncivil”. A couple of those people chimed in in this thread.

I also looked through the log of his mod actions and the number of times he’s banned legit looking opinions as “dogwhistle homophobia” is alarming. I only saw 2-3, but that’s enough. They were perfectly fine arguments against the writing of Star Trek: Discovery. At least from my perspective as a straight person and ally. The comments were in no way homophobic.

stolen valor

Yup. I agree. I made other comments in this thread saying I agree it was dumb. Sorry to have insulted you.

I need to find better words to express what I meant.

There are several links in my post to the community.

Well, I take that back. Turns out he deleted the community. Good!

Or it was banned by admins. I dunno.

That’s a classic!

Doubly bad because Stamets seems pretty cool from what I’ve seen.

Ironically, he posted in this same community a week ago!

I edited my post to include every comment I ever made in your community. It proves you’re a liar. I guess you blocked me, so you’ll never see this. You’ll hear about it if I’m still this upset tomorrow and report your words to the lemmy.world admins. You can’t be a mod and go around slandering people you disagree with. I can almost take what you said as hyperbole, and that would be the only reason I’d let it go.

Thank you for posting my original comment! I am unable to see it. Not even when I’m logged out. How did you see it?

Oh, I can see it now, too. Looks like he unbanned me. Edit: Nope, now it says I’m banned again, but I can see that comment. I’m so confused. I couldn’t see the comment before, but it also didn’t appear as “removed” in the modlog.

I’m going to go find my comments in that community to see if there’s any truth to what he says. I do have pretty bad memory. Maybe I commented more than I remember.

EDIT: I found them all and posted them in the post body above. It’s nothing like he makes it out to be. It was two posts, and I was replying to what other people were saying about non-OC. How is participating in a discussion about the community “creating drama” or “stirring shit up”?

They were removed for jumping between multiple threads and stirring shit up

STOP with this fucking narrative. You liar. You giant fucking liar. Prove it. Post screenshots. Unban me so the world can see my comment history. You are really pissing me off now. [EDIT: You don’t need to. I found all of my comments and shared them above.]

These lies are so bad I’m half a fucking second from reporting you to the lemmy.world admins.

Going around randomly calling users assholes and saying fuck this community and just stirring shit up left right and center?

Again, you are taking things out of context. I posted my mod history right in this thread. “Going around randomly calling users assholes”. Again with the lies.

Childish and immature behavior that is openly display throughout the entire of their modlog and posting history.

I challenge anyone to read my entire post history and see what kind of person I am. You are slandering me. Meanwhile, I have stated nothing but facts this entire time.

(stolen valor lol)

That was a little over the top! I couldn’t think of a better term at the time. I only repeated it here because I didn’t want to come off as changing history. I said what I said, and I own it. Even though it was kind of silly.

I edited my reply. Read it again if you haven’t yet. At first I thought it was another DM from you, and didn’t add as much as I would have liked. I was replying from my inbox. But now I see you’ve found this thread. So I edited my comment to add more. It contains a call to action now: Unban me to prove I “jumped from thread to thread” creating drama. There was no jumping. There was no drama. There was only me pointing out to a couple confused people that your posts were not photos taken by you.

Not even that! I was replying to other people who said they also thought this community was just for OC, or should be.

You could have replied to any of those comments. My posting of a comment was communication. You are the one who chose not to engage.

“jumping from thread to thread” is a bullshit narrative. I’ve only ever commented a couple times in that community. Like I said, it appeared in my feed every day. Commenting a couple times over a period of days isn’t “jumping from thread to thread”. Holy shit. Why do you have to lie to defend youself?

numerous comments across numerous posts

Numerous? Two is “numerous”? Prove it. Post screenshots. I can’t see my own comments because I’m banned. [I figured out how to] I would be very surprised if I mentioned it more than twice. Or unban me and let the whole world see! I promise I will never comment again. [I have since posted every comment I’ve ever made in the post above.]

And I don’t feel that letting confused people know that your post isn’t OC is anything wrong to do. And if I felt the need to do that, I don’t think it’s wrong to and also mention I don’t happen to like the paradoxical name. You chose to create the paradoxical name. You chose not to self-identify non-OC. Over and over people got confused, and I set a couple people straight. I finally got sick of seeing these kinds of comments and called you out on it. You deserved it, and I wasn’t even mean about it.

Content that did not need a tag as was specified in the sidebar

So you get to make up bullshit rules, leading to a ton of people being confused, and I’m the problem!?

unnecessary drama

Apparently it was very necessary. Thank you for finally adding Rule #4. My actions were not about you. My actions were about eliminating the confusion of a whole bunch of Lemmy users.

Replying to each of your comments on my post is blowing up your inbox? ok… Good riddance.

The mod attempted to fix the rules to cater to an obsessive pedant (you), and you’re STILL raging?

He changed the rules after I made this post. Same with the title edits. Or, at least, while I was writing it. This all happened at the same time. You’re narrative is all backwards.

The fact that he added the “Not OC” rule means my comment was justified, and my ban was not!

Goddamn, I don’t know how I missed this when I first replied. I wouldn’t have responded so abashedly. You’ve made a ton of false assumptions in this thread. I’m editing my replies to you to fix this oversight and remove my praise.

or this person has been on this crusade for so long they’re exhausted at this point?

This was the first time I commented about the mod’s behavior. (Or rather lack of behavior, as in, lack of clarifying to anyone that his posts were not OC.) The only other time I mentioned the community’s rule about allowing non-OC was to point out to another person that the rules specifically allow it, when they were complaining about non-OC. Although, I did agree it was an odd rule given the community name.

Those are the only two times I’ve ever talked about the community or its name. I happen to browse “All” most of the time, and I was seeing ITAP every day, and seeing unanswered questions about his posts over and over again. There was no crusade, and I don’t appreciate you assuming there was.

God, I would never have made this post if I had been on a crusade and finally got banned. That would be ridiculous.

To be fair, I made this post minutes after my comment got banned. How fast should a person have to let something go? What’s the point of this community if not to vent about moderator actions when they happen?

obsessive and excessive… you came with like 18 spreadsheets and a slideshow…

You just described my whole life as an autistic person. :( I disagree that I’m “obsessed” about it. I simply wanted to provide the facts and also try to present the real me. Proactively defending my own log of mod actions against me… Well, people like to look at modlogs in these posts, so I figured I’d nip it in the bud. I’m sorry for being overly prepared, I guess.

so I assume you did feel guilty for it.

Yes, indeed. I felt guilty about it the other day, too, but not enough to say anything or delete my comments, but your comment made me more self-reflective about it. I struck-out the comments instead of deleting them because I didn’t want to come across like I was trying to hide anything from this post. I didn’t merely strike them out. I added to them and apologized.

Yeah, I think you’re right. (No sarcasm.) I should keep such opinions to myself. I’m not at all against being a maker for the sake of making, actually. I guess I’m just a camera snob. Calling my criticism “pixel peeping” kinda set me off, and I lashed out, but that’s on me. :(

You’re absolutely right. I shouldn’t have said anything. (No sarcasm.)
