I’m not at liberty to say which admin did this one, but I’ve gotta say in an unofficial capacity, I’m with y’all on this one.
Simply “lol” isn’t enough, and it’s not at all fair or transparent to members. Admins should be writing out reports that at least give reasoning for bans, with the only exception being obviously rulebreaking material. I don’t think this one was obvious enough for “lol”, and I was wondering why they banned this user over something that doesn’t break any of our rules.
Edit; For Transparency, I posted this comment then thought “hmm, I should go check our admin chatroom to see if we’re talking about this already” and we were. The admin who did this has been removed from the admin team for confidential reasons, they might still write reports like this in the future, but we hope they refrain from short-changing their community going forwards. We care a lot about transparency on Lemmygrad, and this kind of thing is something we take very seriously, and we want to be called out when we make a mistake with it.
Thank you all for your patience with the admin team when we make mistakes.
I had the exact same confusion after seeing it on the modlog!
Why ban him?
I went onto the dogistan victory day post, and it had some weird shit, but that should be outlined properly not just lol
Which post you are referring to? Would you mind linking it?

mostly the “world revolution” a common term used by many trots, but its just a tiny suspicious thing, I can’t see a reason for an actual ban

I said it was sus, not that I actually believed it to be, they just banned you and said “lol”

You are right in calling out on this. The admin that did that was removed from their post. It’s not that they were wrong in banning this person, but the reason given is simply insufficient and incoherent.

it may be a miscommunication, because the admins seem to be getting their info from the telegram dude

who called Pan-Arabism, Assad, and Nasser “Reactionary”,
That isn’t very ba’ased of them. They seem like weirdos. The most I would call them at worst would be “kinda revisionist”, but they are their own thing, so it doesn’t really matter.

“Hail victory” but yeah, “lol” is just childish and useless
