they made a post, got tons of downvotes, then complained about downvotes which also got downvoted, got caught by automod because of downvotes, appealed, got unbanned, then deleted account or got purged because nothing even shows in modlog. the account was on sjw, posts were to communities in .ml and lw
I can only see one of those two posts (the second one) and it’s pretty well reasoned (I don’t agree though, just saying they did provide their reasoning in more than enough words imo). If you’re interested, here’s the link.
To summarize it:
UI worse than New Reddit (I personally agree with it being at least just as bad, that’s why I didn’t go to Lemmy)
Big instances are laggy (remember, the post is from 7 months ago not today, so don’t compare the statement to how they are now)
Bad mod tools (a common complaint I see about Lemmy)
Too much far left and tech focus (another common complaint)
It’s not active enough (yet another common complaint)
Shitty mods (I disagree with the specific claim made about them being worse than Reddit ones, but I’ve definitely seen at least one shitty mod here so far, and too many are neglectful)
Lemmy developers are Maoist (fact iirc)
The community is filled with far left extremists, Mao worshippers, dictator bootlickers, and genocide supporters (the one actually unreasonable take imo which indicates they went to the wrong instance)
The user got banned by the automod in the first one.

You got banned by the automod because your account was less than 24 hours old and you received 40 downvotes on a post. That filter is in place to combat spambots and trolls, because normal users are unlikely to trigger it by getting so many downvotes so soon after making an account
I messaged the admin and they already unbanned your account. …
deleted by creator
They probably went to .ml or a tankie instance

This right here is why the public mod log is one of the best things on the internet.
like i said, nothing shows in modlog. user is ModerateImprovement on sh.itjust.works, i’m guessing what happened based on that reddit post
But .ml says a lot lol
I don’t get why people hate on .ml
They cater to tankies.
OK, so this is where you learned your word of the day, you’re even more pathetic than I thought
how tf am I pathetic for asking a question, I genuinely didn’t know? /srs
Search manipulation or just shitty Reddit search?
