Are moderators allowed to ban people and list a fake reason? This conservative has defamed me by listing the reason as homophobia. Kinda funny coming from a right winger lol. Is this acceptable on lemm.ee?

Mods can ban you from their community for any reason they want
Not saying you should have been banned but it’s his community to do what he wants with. Stamets banned me from c/Tumblr without warning for making a joke he didn’t like lol
I understand that, I don’t care that I was banned from that sub, it’s trash. But why is listing an incorrect reason allowed?
Mods can be trolls, too. This one in question thinks that Trump is on his side because his income is in the top 5% (if I’m remembering correctly) which should tell you what kind of person he is
I’m not gonna dig through your profile or the mod log to see what kind of comments you left but I haven’t been banned despite the criticisms I’ve posted so id imagine imagine what you said was probably worse…so I totally get why he didn’t want you commenting there. Someone quoting Bible verses would probably get banned from c/atheism
I get why you’re annoyed if you didn’t post anything homophobic but I’d just drop it, shittalking on the conservative board isn’t worth your time especially because they’re certainly not gonna learn from it
Lol he claims his income is top 5%. He is also an army medic, fighter pilot, owns multiple properties across multiple states and spends 20+ hours a day on lemmy. I called him George Santos for all his accomplishments.
Didn’t he delete a bunch of stuff where you called him Georgie claiming it was a slur?
Lol
“allowed” by who?
Moderators own shit.
I’m a moderator for a community, but never in my mind this idea came to me. I’m just there to help the community and that’s all.
Ultimately the only one who owns it is the admin. And the admin should know if a mod is abusing his powers
Is this the right way to get admin attention then? If no, what is the proper recourse?
Mods should have the power to ban I just don’t want to be banned for made up BS reasons.
You’re what’s known as a “good moderator” and frankly, I think most mods fit that description, too.
But you have the control of your community, that’s part of the appeal of Lemmy. Once admins start policing petty disagreements, we’re moving toward reddit
This isn’t a petty disagreement. I don’t care that I was banned. I want to know if it is acceptable on this instance to list a fake reason when banning someone.
I didn’t mean you were petty, I meant like… Admins should step in if someone is posting child porn or something, not community bans
Moderators don’t own the community, but they own the community address - they have absolute control over it and can set the rules. If the community don’t like that, they’re free to move to a new address and make their own, with blackjack and hookers, etc.
The admin owns the instance, which in turn can overrule the moderators. If the community don’t like that, they’re free to move to a new instance, with blackjack and hookers, etc.
Basically the whole system was set up so everyone will eventually have blackjack and hookers.
Kinda counterproductive though don’t you think ? If a person is that emotionally fragile they are not able manage things if they’re getting their feelings involved like that
What do you mean counterproductive?
