I honestly don’t care what the sectarian tribes of the middle east do to each other. they’re all backwards savages to me and the world wouldn’t be at a loss if it got turned into glass
I know that ml can be a bit strict and unreasonable about things sometimes but honestly if you said this on other servers and the admins were aware of you saying it. I'm sure they'd ban you as well for being a racist pig, this shit is absolutely unacceptable, and you absolutely deserve the ban you got for it. No sympathy from us here.

Since OP hasn't adde it yet I decided to go find them myself:
My opinion is he deserved it, I know ml can be strict about censorship but many of these comments are very extreme, and uncalled for.

Why do that after the fact if you're innocent? You want to preserve all content the way it was if you suspect power-tripping. Editing it after the fact is just tampering with the evidence.
YDI, for being a careless fool and tampering with the evidence after the fact. Here's a tip, if you get banned by a power-tripper, don't edit any of your comments, don't even correct a typo. Edits can be used against you because they cast doubt on what really happened.

I guess he was under the impression that if he ran a community he could make posts and not get as heavily downvoted for his bad takes as he did in the linux communities. Doesn't seem to be working out for him, his posts are still heavily downvoted despite him banning anyone who disagrees with him in comments. He hasn't gotten any support for it from others, the only other person besides him who posted in that community is a person who seems to actually support linux,

Where did you get the idea we were "freeze peach"? I'm certainly not, nor are most people here. Most of us very firmly believe in the idea that certain types of speech is absolutely unacceptable, after all when the intolerant are tolerated, tolerance dies.
I don't know where you got the idea that we're free speech advocates or how you thought that was at all relevant to this discussion. FYI most Lemmy instances aren't free speech advocates, and do firmly believe in moderation of unacceptable speech, which does often includes tolling, disinformation, and bigotry (including homophobia, transphobia, racism, ableism, etc.).
Maybe it's probably a good idea not to make such assumptions about people or places, since you end up making an ass out of yourself when you do, and potentially exposing your beliefs when you might not want to.

He's currently sunk to using a slur in his memes. Probably thinking it makes him sound cleaver but it just makes him sound immature. Ah well, at least it'll probably contribute to their community or account getting booted faster. Trolling can be overlooked, but slurs are very often a no-no.

So the main purpose of these posts is to make people aware of such communities for what they are, so they are aware and don't assume they are something else more redeeming due to a lack of any dissent about or against them. That's the purpose of !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
Though when it comes to troll communities like this one there are indeed some problems, the biggest one is that troll communities do often become breeding grounds for toxicity, bigotry, and even disinformation.

I think that many people here would benefit from you going further into why it is harmful to society, since people seem to be nonchalant about this issue, or worse, are dismissing the post as an opinion piece.

Agreed !unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone is a far superior community in so many ways, best part of all though, they're not tolerant of slur usage. Which is more than I can say about the one I mentioned in the main post unfortunately.

This has to be one of the worst, most awkward and painful tattoos to get. I'm assuming it's a tattoo and not just drawn on.

By your logic it seems you believe this community has no merit and that moderator power tripping isn't a valid. You're entitled to your opinion but many people do indeed disagree with you on that. I'd suggest blocking this community because a good amount of the posts here center on the idea that community stewards can indeed abuse their power on an instance to either obscure information pertaining to the reasons they actioned someone, or that they are banning people and removing posts to avoid being banned themselves from the instance for Code of conduct infractions on their part.

Anytime. Even though it's an old post I'm sure I was able to provide something useful here.

Why do mods feel the need to lie about something like this? Like seriously. Saying the admins require it, instead of saying they just don't want to remove it. That's dumb, and makes them look dumb when the admins see it and deny it, or when people just ask the admins. Life lesson, don't lie as a moderator about stupid things like this, it only erodes your credibility and doesn't do anything else for the situation.

The ironic part is that by creating this community the mod is actually working against his own movement because he's resorted to trolling and power-tripping, instead of a community to discuss interesting points. Meaning less people will ultimately be willing to take him seriously.

I don't think it was that big a feat, he was banning people when the comments were too vague to tell if they were pro-linux or anti-linux. Really funny, and goes to show how insecure he is in his opinions.

Yeah, I've noticed that very often admins are very slow at dealing with these kinds of problems, also many community mods seem to protect users from receiving admin action. Which really is not good, it leads to people like Linkerbaan and CookieJarObserver being able to thrive and troll for months without issue, and only finally being banned after they've caused the harm months later.

Are you deliberately trying to misrepresent the meaning of the post or do you legitimately not understand. I'm not telling you to not go to the linuxsucks community, go join it if you really want to. This isn't a plea to get people not to join it. It's a warning about their behavior. But please, feel free to go on about how I'm supposedly helping them. The goal of this post is neither to help them, nor to hurt them. It is simply to provide information.

Well modlogs aren't the only form of power-tripping. Publicly outing reports is another one. Public intimidation from a mod is another prime example of power-tripping. Like you should share this stuff. It helps people to know which mods are doing this shit so they can act accordingly, including avoiding offending communities run by power-trippers.
Hello I'm not a person who is affected by this community moderator but I'm posting on behalf of people who are, since they don't seem to know of this community yet. I attempted to reach some via DM but I'm not sure they'll respond. So I'm making this post since I feel this needs to be addressed. Recently I was made aware of a community that appeared randomly on Lemmy.world. It seems to be a troll community given the type of content, but the reason I'm posting about it here specifically is that this mod seems to be banning anyone who points this out or goes against his narrative. Furthermore he is only using the autoremove on ban function, not removing any content the users have posted, which I believe is deliberate in attempt to prevent the content from showing up under the modlog and revealing the hypocrisy. --------------------------------------- Some samples of comments: ::: spoiler Comment from: @glimse@lemmy.world >[Everything else you posted has been pretty cringe but what he fuck is up with this one, dude lol](https://lemmy.world/comment/12905938) ::: ::: spoiler comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world >[free software is SLOWING DOWN tech advancement??????? WHAT???????](https://lemmy.world/comment/12906008) ::: ::: spoiler comment from: @rain_worl@lemmy.world >[i genuinely do not understand your point](https://lemmy.world/comment/12905918) ::: ::: spoiler comment from: @the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world >First off, nice new community. I look forward to days of quality posts such as this./s > >Second, how many Linux distros have [this level of data collection,](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacy/data-collection-windows) and what is their estimated market share? [Original comment link](https://lemmy.world/comment/12920144) ::: -------------------------------- All of these were retrieved from the API, even though they aren't included in the modlogs, I could've included more but it's kind of a time consuming process to look for them and retrieve them. Viewing removed comments is easier on Lemmy than it is on Reddit but it still isn't easy. What do you guys think, does this seem like power-tripping? Also does this person's content seem like blatant troll content? CC: [@glimse@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/glimse) [@rain_worl@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/rain_worl) [@the_toast_is_gone@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/the_toast_is_gone) People who's comments I mentioned, I CCed them so they know I did this on their behalf
Edit: **[@Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com](https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/u/Flatworm7591) Contacted the moderator who did it on my behalf who admitted that this was a mistake, he sends his apologies.** This incident though does highlight though the [need for ban notifications](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572) as well as the [need for a modmail system](https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/5110) to contact community and site moderators. I have left the post up with the original contents bellow as I feel it would be wrong to delete the post and rob people of the valuable information it contains, both in the post itself and in the comment section. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I messaged a mod from the community, not sure if that was the one who did it but this was weird. Not sure if it's power-tripping probably a mistake but it's certainly weird and seems like a knee jerk reaction since I didn't have activity in those last 10 days (I checked for votes too). Also no other bans in the modlog for "sock puppet account" so I don't even know why I would be singled out. Why would someone think I was a sock puppet account? Because I have multiple accounts on different instances? Really weird... Account is [@Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/Draconic_NEO), I didn't post from that account since I try to keep each account on each separate instance (helps prevent accidental vote manipulation).
Right wingers encouraging others to buy upvotes and downvotes on Reddit to push right-wing politics and suppress their opposition.
Just wondering if it would be possible to enable the instance on [LemmyFederate](https://lemmy-federate.com) since then we could more easily distribute communities from here to elsewhere since as it is it's kind of hard to grow communities or even just have them be discoverable on other instances. Uh for those who don't know LemmyFederate is a service that allows communities to be distributed to other instances via a bot that subscribes to them, then unsubscribes once a real user joins. It's helpful because communities don't become visible on remote servers until someone from that server searches and subscribes to it. Due to a limitation of how the Activitypub system works.
I was looking to try and get the Steam Deck's keyboard themes, the official ones but without getting them via the official methods. The main reason is that when getting them through the official methods they don't work offline but CSSloader themes do work offline and have no DRM.
This post contains a list of resources for people wishing to play Minecraft for free, including launchers, bypasses for launcher account checks, and skin/auth services. ### Launchers This section focuses on custom launchers. #### PollyMC PollyMC is a fork of the popular launcher known as PrismLauncher, it has been modified to remove the Premium account requirement, and also has had other features re-added like FTB modpack support and curseforge bypass which many other launchers chose to remove. In addition PollyMC also comes with support for [Alternative Auth Services](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC/wiki/Alternative-Auth-Servers). The launcher is available on Windows, MacOS, and Linux, and even has flatpak available (not available in flathub). [PollyMC Github](https://github.com/fn2006/PollyMC) #### Legacy Launcher Legacy Launcher, formerly known as TLauncher is a Minecraft Launcher with support for the Ely.by auth server as well as robust modding support. In Legacy launcher you need to download mods and modpacks manually as it doesn't have download support built-in to the client like PollyMC. To download you will need to use a VPN to another country as the Admins of the site disabled downloads to certain countries. You could also use the russian Mirror version of the site. [Official Site](https://llaun.ch/en) [Russian Mirror](https://lln4.ru/en) For the Flathub version you will have to run this command to bypass Microsoft account requirements:\ `flatpak --user override ch.tlaun.TL --env=TL_BOOTSTRAP_OPTIONS=-Doomsday` #### Prism/Poly/MultiMC Bypass If you really want to use the Original Prism or MultiMC Launcher versions these have Microsoft account requirements in them, however it is possible to bypass this requirement. A guide by the name of [PrismLauncher bypass](https://rentry.co/freemc) highlights how to do this, both automatically via commands or manually by copying the file. The accounts.json file also works on MultiMC and other similar forks. #### Warning about Malicious Launchers There are certain launchers out there such as TLauncher which are malicious and include spyware in them. Such Launchers are often named after or similarly to well known reputable launchers. It's important to only download reputable launchers from official sources. ### Alternate Auth/Skin servers This next section focuses on alternate auth servers, these are a few picked from the list of auth servers on PollyMC's github. #### [Ely.by](https://ely.by) Ely.by is one of the more popular Auth servers, it includes its own Skins system, which is proxied with the official one allowing both skin systems to be active together. In addition Ely.by can also be installed on servers which allows for it to be used as authorization in place of the official servers. #### [Blessing Skin Server](https://skin.prinzeugen.net/) Blessing skin server is another popular authorization server, as the name implies this one's primary focus is on Minecraft skins, it supports both regular and also HD skins. It does have auth support as well but its auth support isn't as well documented as ely\.by. #### [LittleSkin (alt Instance of Blessing Skin)](https://littleskin.cn) A secondary instance of Blessing Skin with basically the same features, just on a different website. ### Non-Premium Servers While the majority of Minecraft servers these days are premium servers there are still plenty of servers which do not require premium account login. You can find these servers on various lists such as: - [TopG](https://topg.org/minecraft-servers/type/No-Premium/) - [Minecraftlist.org](https://minecraftlist.org/category/cracked-servers) - [MinecraftIPList.com](https://www.minecraftiplist.com/server-tags/Nopremium) Mos of these servers are public Minigames servers, if you want more survival oriented or building servers these are harder to find. People can feel free to share servers they know of here. Also there are basically no free servers at all which use alternate auth servers like ely.by and BlessingSkin, Hopefully this can change in the future, if you know of any such servers feel free to share them in this community.
