Ok, I’m sorry for this question, and if this isn’t the right community, please let me know where I should ask it.
So a user in a different community is making a big deal about how terrible I am and that I have been “perma-banned” form an instance.
And he posted this screenshot as “proof.”
But I have no indication I have been perma-banned from any communities or instances and never even heard of this unix instance and I don’t even know how to use unix.
I’ve attached a screenshot. Can you guys better explain to me what this means?
And for reference here is the post of him saying it to me: https://lemmy.world/comment/12216663
I legit have no clue what he is trying to imply. Any pointers?
You must log in or register to comment.
I mean, the link is right there in the screenshot: https://dubvee.org/modlog?other_person_id=4948197&type=ModBan
You were apparently permanently banned from their instance due to being toxic, and what you’re seeing in that screenshot are the individual communities mirroring the ban from the instance to the community level. What “toxic” consists of is really known only by the person who issued the ban, and whether or not you even care is really up to you. It could have been for something legitimate, or it could have been completely bogus, and I’m not going to scour your comment history to try to figure it out; chances are you know what you did, and if you don’t, it’s probably just some mod on a power trip, who knows?
I had a scroll through their modlog, they seem to ban a huge number of users from other instances, often with no reason given.
They’re also banning users from communities not on their instance, I don’t get how that works.
chances are you know what you did,
Actually no. I have never read of Dubvee, don’t know how to get to it, I don’t even know what it is. I am genuinely curious, which is why I posted here.
And no, it’s NOT that important, but a user is accusing me of being toxic and using that as proof, but with no posts or samples of anything that I have ever posted to that community or anything.
And as I said earlier, in addition to not even knowing what that community is, there are no posts or comments or notifications on my end either. I legit only found out when he posted that screenshot in a political news community.
My main instance is here on Lemmy.world, and I only recently even learned what instances were. Not that I am a moron, but I am still new to the whole fediverse model. I was just a reddit user that came here after the suck was just too much there.
And even then I had to follow step-by-step directions on how to set up an account. I’ve only been on for less than a month.
Which does make me sound like a moron, but I’m learning! Thank you for the reply.
And no, you don’t have time to go thru my comment history. The majority of which is me arguing with this one user who alternates from saying I am a computer bot to russian operative living outside of the US and/or a secret Trump plant. Even tho I created and mod the socialist sub here on Lemmy! It’s been fucking wild couple of weeks! lmao
I’d just block that one nutter and move on. Are they here in the thread, by any chance?

Yep, and he’s giving you some crap right now in this thread. It’s @pooperNickel@lemm.ee
lol
Thought so.
Whoops! Forgot to post the relevant part completely by mistake ;)
But I posted the link to that thread in my question, so they can actually see all of that.
Again, that’s the same thread I posted already.
Why are you referring to a 2 hour old comment like it’s recent?
Because your comment is there, I just noticed it, and I replied to it.
I’m honestly not sure what point you’re trying to make here. They were briefly banned, then the mods realised that was a mistake and banned the person they reported.
And then there’s the dubvee thing, which I’m not sure what that’s even about. Are they just blindly following the world admins?
You’re really bad at explaining things, by the way.
So you saw that they were permabanned from an instance for being toxic and you’re coming at me. All I need to know about you lol
Once again, you assume what you’re saying is obvious to everyone. They were briefly banned from world, then unbanned, which looks like a mistake on behalf of the admin, then who the hell is dubvee?
You’re starting to look like a nutter, to be honest.
You saw the image showing a permaban. It’s in this very thread. Stop.
You mean the one where you cropped out the fact they were immediately reinstated?
You’re not behaving in a transparent manner here, and to be honest I don’t really trust anything you say.
I’m deeply hurt
For anyone who isn’t a bad faither
I’d say a large chunk of the Lemmy userbase has been permanently banned from at least one instance, that instance being one of the .Ml domains.
Hmm, but any idea on what post would have banned me and I never received any notification. I did crosspost some socialist community articles to the .MI socialist community now that I think of it.
But I never got any negative comments nor any notification. But maybe it was because I crossposted an article?!
Because the user attacking me who showed the screenshot is trying to show how “toxic” I am, but I still have no clue and nothing in there says anything about “toxic.” lol
I mean, not that important. Since I didn’t even know I got permabanned from whatever instance it is, but just curious. Thank you!
The comments aren’t loading on that post for some reason, so I can’t read what they’re saying for myself, but if this is their evidence, I’d say they’re full of shit.
Someone mentioned that any owner of an instance can ban me. Is it possible that the guy who is showing me this “proof,” yet declined to show me any posts, actually owns an instance, and then banned me. Then returned to magically say “Gotcha!”?
Cuz he has been following me for several days and has had some of his comments removed for civility. So I am wondering if it’s some weird persona vendetta. Our conversation is in the thread, but i am beginning to think this is all a fack gotcha to weirdly make him think he has got me or something. I don’t know. I love Lemmy, but man some of these posters…lol
I like the platform, but some of the users really need to get out more, they get hung up on some ridiculous things.
And Linux. Holy shit do they love talking about Linux. They run Linux, by the way.
I was going to get into Linux right after I retired, but then decided un-retire and went back into the workforce to be an elementary teacher’s aide.
But when I retire again in another year or so, I am gonna look into the the whole Linux thing. Right now I’m Mac-based, so hopefully it won’t be so hard. But I actually can’t wait to learn all about it!
You’re going to have to explain this to me. Who is socialist berzerker? Are you implying this is an alt account? What does this have to do with anything at all?
Whoops! Everything about being toxic if they didn’t “accidentally” hide it: https://lemmy.world/comment/12216663
That’s just the thread I have already posted when I asked the question, friend.
They posted that thread themselves though.
Other instances can ban users; or even defederate with other instances based on their own discretion. This affects how these users can interact with their instance and only it.
A moderator on dubvee did ban your account from participating in any of the communities inside the instance named dubvee.
And that’s what’s so weird. I have never even heard of dubvee, or even know how to get there.
Wait, is it possible that the guy who is showing me this “proof” of how “toxic” I am, actually owns an instance, banned me, and then decided to use that for proof?! Because his attitude definitely would fit the profile of someone doing that! And when I asked him what post did it, he declined to show me. Yet was happy to show the screenshot of the ban. Which I didn’t even know I had.
EDIT: No proof of that. Just curious
Yep, they clearly went back in time a month to do it too!
Ahh, ok, well he has been following me for a while now and my account is only a month old. But another user said it happens often to new users, so maybe it’s just that.
One, weird that he went into that much detail, when even I don’t know how to see that info and never had any idea. And two, weird how he is laughing about the proof, without showing any actual comments that got me permabanned. But meh, as someone else said, the dude is probably full of shit. And I didn’t even know I was permabanned and never heard of that instance. lol
Thank you for replying. You guys rock!
Yeah I read the thread and saw how you left out the context with the screenshots proving you got permabanned from an entire instance for being “toxic”. The fake sounding comments in your history don’t convince me that’s wrong either. No one repeats themselves so much or says thank you after every interaction… So yeah you’re obviously sus.
Why did you draw attention to all of this here? Did you want sympathy for getting permabanned from an entire instance? You can’t pretend the mod/admin didn’t write “toxic”, it’s right here in this thread too.

I posted the link to the thread though. Also, there is zero instance in my entire posting history of ever ever posting to that community. So I was curious how I could be banned from an instance that I never posted to.
Do you have some information about what I posted that could have gotten me banned? Becuse the only two instances I have posted to are here on .world and just a few on .ml. And I am not banned from either of those
or says thank you after every interaction…
lol yeah, because I say thank you, I’m obviously fake. Ok…
But wait, ,I am talking to you right now. Or am I faking that too? Um…
Why did you draw attention to all of this here?
Because I had a question about what it meant. And I didn’t understand what the user was meaning and I have never even been to the instance that banned me. And I’ve received some helpful answers. After I posted, I realized that it was probably better to send to No Stupid Questions, so I crossposted. I def can see how tech people would be annoyed with my question tho, sorry!
That user just got banned from World News sub and just now had comments removed from the c/politics sub I was talking with I’m in. So now I realize that he’s actually full of shit.
And hey, if you don’t agree, that’s cool too.
Than— oops, sorry! I was just about to say it. Bad habit, I now now!
I am not in charge of posting every news article on the web, friend. I read this one, thought it was interesting, and I posted it. I’m just posting this article that’s already available on a much bigger platform than Lemmy—I didn’t write it, just sharing it for discussion.
I believe the content fits this community’s guidelines, and if you feel otherwise, the mods are available. Thank you!
I don’t believe most people repeat pretty much the exact phrasing over and over and then lead normal lives. A hundred times one can find versions of the above quotes by browsing your history. I won’t respond anymore since it’s obvious this is your MO.
Enjoy the attention others give you!
Enjoy the attention others give you!
Well, I mean, I did post a disclaimer right after posting the original article in question, in an effort to deflect this “attention.” Um, didn’t seem to work in that thread in the original community. :/
And I posted here for a technical answer since my posting history shows nothing every posted to the instance (which I’d never even heard of until today) that banned me.
But thanks for your input. I may not agree with it, but I support your right to it.
