Argh. Now I‘m on your side here, and think the ban was neither justified nor was their policy of “Everyone STFU this thread is now locked, you are all dumb” in any way something that makes me think communities should be hosted on lemmy.world. But calling it “saying I don’t like ads” is utterly ridiculous.
Every comment is still available to read at the moment. This doesn’t seem like the place for a long and elaborate recap. That’s pretty much what it boils down to though. The irony is that several people harassed me and they are completely fine with that because it supports their biased opinion. If you look through their comment history they are very supportive of this particular piece of software. So anything against this is bad and must be banned. It likely wouldn’t even matter what it is. They just ban first and justify it later and make up some nonsense such as “harassment”.
The double irony is that they are going to end up harming lemmy.world and possibly do irreparable damage to the lemmyverse long term and then their friend will no longer be able to profit much from ads.
I don’t think BlueSky has ads. At least not yet. The dispute is mainly around the mobile Lemmy app Sync. Which is a mobile UI for lemmy that inserts ads into Lemmy where there previously were none.
Ah right, fair enough. I hadn’t realised Sync was doing that - I’ve been lazy and stuck with Jerboa.
The website seems to generally be the best way to browse lemmy anyway, particularly with its continued development. Apps quite often dont’ conform to things lemmy does, like automatically making instance agnostic links out of /c/fediverse@lemmy.ml, or the drop down box for typing a username and sending them a mention.
I didn’t see any other moderators come to your defense? There was a moderator from /c/sciencefiction on lemmy world who came out and said you were toxic and the reason why he left.
Which is baffling. I was only ever kind to him. He left because he said he was sick in the hospital and wouldn’t have time to help. I said ok thank you for your time and get well soon. He made up something about me saying something about COVID. Which makes no sense. Nowhere in Lemmy or discord did I ever mention COVID. I can’t understand his agenda for lying here. Maybe he just also wants to be a power mod to abuse it so he needs to brown nose the admins

Which app are you referring to? Bluesky?
Mainly I want to know so I can avoid it, although I’m already avoiding Bluesky.
