These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I’d like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I’m wondering if there’s a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

      Are you saying there aren’t a metric fuckton of power-tripping nutjobs in self-appointed positions of authority in the Fediverse?

        I mean, most other people here aren’t banned on so many communities that we want a way to display all the communities we’re banned on

          Ok? So?

          I’d like to compare lists with a bunch of people like OP. It would be handy for average Lemmings to know which communities have moderators with sandy cracks. It would be super useful for admins looking to improve their mod teams.

      I mean there are some shit mods man. I got banned from a community once because I criticized a New York Post article. Said it was baseless and there was no substance to it. I guess the guy was mad that I correctly identified the source.

        I got banned once for saying the holocaust was one of many genocides throughout history and not unique…

        Edit: I’m really curious to know if people downvoting the above statement think Nazis invented the genocide?

          People are downvoting you, because while the Holocaust wasn’t the first nor last genocide, it still is unique. Your initial statement makes two claims, but you only refer to the one less controversial one in your “curious edit”.

        But that was one case, of course there are some mods that are just shit (or maybe just interpreted things wrong, made a mistake or acted based on emotions for various reasons) but if it’s this many cases, it becomes kinda hard to believe that all of those mods are the issue and not the person getting banned by multiple mods

      reddit and lemmy are nearly homogenous in terms of humor and politics and personality. there’s a way to speak so that your comments aren’t misunderstood and it often means prefacing what you’re about to say with some context that wouldn’t otherwise be needed, or ending with /s or something like that. if you’ve been here long enough you forget how weird this is

        In my experience, that’s just the .world instance and its associated halo of federated communities.

        It’s actually really cool how there’s multiple spheres of culture on lemmy, which are more and less Reddity.
