- Which mods/admins were being Power Tripping Bastards?
- What sanction did they impose (e.g. community ban, instance ban, removed comment)?
Ban & comment removal.
- Provide a screenshot of the relevant modlog entry (don’t de-obfuscate mod names).
- Provide a screenshot and explanation of the cause of the sanction (e.g. the post/comment that was removed, or got you banned).

- Explain why you think its unfair and how you would like the situation to be remedied.
I commented that I am not sure @arlesh@lemmy.world even verified the story is even real. Instead of proving me with another source that the story is real, I was deemed a troll, banned, and all my comments removed. If this is how criticism is remedied, I am not sure what I want fixed.
After reading through the thread, I understand why the ban was made.
I would say YDI for their revised ban (2 days)
I want to comprehend this logic. Why do I deserve a two day ban for requesting rule 3 to be appropriately enforced?
Because you’re pushing an alternate interpretation of rule 3, which explicitly notes the NYT as a valid source.
If you want to question that, a standalone thread would be more appropriate, though a message to the mod would be a better first start. That thread, however, is 100% appropriate according to the current rules.
Ok🫡, thank you for enlightening me.
The mod is already 🧵, hopefully a responds.
Responds to what? The assertion that the NYT isn’t a trustworthy source?
Same answer, this isn’t the thread for that. See the last rule:
Keep the comments in YPTB posts about the moderation action itself, not about the general topic in which the moderation took place.
PTB. That comm is liberal garbage that’s supportive of fascist attacks. No surprise they’re pushing sketchy news.
What was your exact comment? Are you saying stories on the New York Times web page have to be independently verified? That’s kind of a high bar for a random user to clear.
I believe it was:
Did OP even verify this was real news?
I do not know how to look up my deleted comment.
Are you saying stories on the New York Times web page have to be independently verified?
Secondary sourcing is fine with me, as I am aware random lemmies are not journalists. But there is nothing to unsuggest NYT isn’t making a slop/fakenews. Which why I requested verification, from mod & OP.
