Fair lol. I’ve decided they are a troll, so I won’t feed them further.

Fact. Or a troll

You do realize I’m talking about the planes full of migrants deported without due process, not just one case, right?

Explain how your Mental gymnastics is twisting the literal text into something it’s not, and I’ll apologize. Give me a line by line of the actual text, not an interpretation. I came with facts. You’ve come with feelings.

Let’s say that the trump admin is deporting gangs. Cool. Gangs are NOT NATIONS OR GOVERNMENTS.

love how you ignored the protections and jurisdictions bit…

Your still wrong.

Can you read?

The actual text, from the beginning:

Whenever there is a declared war between the United States and any foreign nation or government, or any invasion or predatory incursion is perpetrated, attempted, or threatened against the territory of the United States by any foreign nation or government…

Don’t come at me with opinions of meaning. I gave you the actual text.

Nope

It requires a declaration of war. Only Congress can do that.

Furthermore, people being legally deported under that act have protections

Once all that has legally been done, the federal courts have final say.

So, this is all illegal, and you need to read up on things you no nothing about.

Sorry for not seeing this earlier. Work was hell today.

Your correct. This isn’t racism. I’m reinstating your comment now.

No idea. That’s why I’m impressed

What impressed me was the way they faked when the message was sent. It said the message was a week old.

You’re 100% correct that a 15-day ban was too much. For some reason I had thought that wasn’t your first ban in news. Vegan and news have similar icons (based on colors and a quick glance). I apologize for that, and unbanned you a day ago.

You hit it on the head. We weren’t aware of this user, as we had 0 reports about them until today.

By the time we received complaints about your comments, the user in question (cat) had already deleted their account.

I don’t have time to track down every post of theirs to check for sources. We tend to do that when people report posts.

The post that was reported that was submitted by cat was this one:

https://a.lemmy.world/lemmy.world/post/25907073

Nothing wrong with that post. The reason given in the report:

WTF is this power user stuff? That's a lot of freaking posts in less than a month

Again, prolific posting isn’t against any rule. The post didn’t break any rule. Why would I remove that?

Now, on to the reason I gave a temp ban.

Comment:

What the actual fuck? My entire goddamn feed is this one account…

Attacking the user for posting? You may not like them, but again, we only received one report on that user. Apparently their content, while aggressive, broke no rules, and upset nobody until today, according to my reports and mod logs.

Next:

Touch grass. Good lord. You’re carpet bombing multiple communities with repeats of the same crap.

Another personal attack against the user.

Next:

I’m not blocking an account that could easily pivot and start blasting multiple communities spanning multiple instances with subversive information.

Much better to bring awareness to such ridiculousness. The motives of an account with such activity should be questioned. ESPECIALLY since all posts are in news and politics communities.

Another person attacking them for posting. Do we attack Flying Squid, Admiral Picard, MicroWave, or others for contributing more than other users? Again, they broke no rules, and we received our first complaint about that account today.

There were a lot of people attacking that user, and a lot of reports on the comments attacking that user. Those are just a few examples.

Yes, I moderate, but I have a ton more going on in my life, so I’m not always on Lemmy to see what’s happening, and I do rely heavily on reports to find points of pain in the communities I moderate. I also rely heavily on the rest of the moderation team, as well the great tools that people like @[email protected] make.

If you go through the posts in this community, you’ll see tons of places where I personally have worked with other users who had complaints. We try to be fair, but attacking users is a violation of our community rules.

Caught me on my lunch break, and this is a community I love lurking in.

Fair point. I’ll restore the comments and remove the ban

I was the one that submitted the ban, after a number of reports. On the face of it (I am at work, so don’t always have time to deep dive), The reports did seem to align with trolling.

I had/have no idea what’s going on withe the Jordan Lund thing.

Oi

It’s a neat idea, but why not ncdu?

You’re a good person. I don’t normally share, but I feel I should.

I was put in foster care when I was 6/7 (I don’t remember well).

When I was 12, after 7 foster homes, my parents lost all parental rights. I was put up for adoption.

At that time, I was still with one of my brothers in a foster home.

We were told a couple was interested in us. We meet them a number of times, and had a few weekends at their place to test run it. They weren’t great, but they weren’t worse than other foster homes, so we decided to give it a try.

My brother lasted about 9 months before asking to go back to foster care. I decided to stay, because I was tired of moving.

I was adopted at 14, and moved out on my own at 17. I was tired of being reminded I was broken in some ways.

Fast forward to me being 21 and in the navy. We start talking again. By then I was beginning to learn what I now consider my personal morals. He was still racist. I wasn’t.

Fast forward to a few years ago. He’s still wildly racist. More so than before. I am now a very liberal person, advocating for homeless rights foster youth assistance, LGBTQIA+ rights, and equality all around. I have finally had enough. I call his bullshit out. About 2 years passes, and his 14th heart attack takes him.

That was 2 years ago. My oldest is 24. My next oldest is 18. They never met him. I just couldn’t bring myself to introduce them to the old school hate.

Nah.

Not sure why you’d say that, but you can think what you want.

Happy holidays!
