before i made an account, i reached out to the chief admin of lemmy.dbzer0.com

i was recently banned during a discussion on the validity of a claim regarding the consensus about the safety of a vegan diet:

and, if you bother to go find that discussion, you’ll find that, in fact, my interlocutor did become incivil. i did report that. and somehow, my discussion and the subsequent report were the basis of a ban.

it was less than 2 hours. it’s almost not worth discussing.

but given my pre-application discussion, i felt strongly that my conduct is within the bounds of the acceptable use of the instance. so if my conduct is not within the acceptable use, that means i basically cant use my account(s) as i planned and under the terms which i agreed.

db0 has said he doesn’t want to be the benevolent dictator for life, and has specifically both recused himself from ruling on my conduct and encouraged me to post here and in [email protected] (though i’m still holding off on that for now).

so, did i deserve it? power tripping bastard? what do you think?

    and, yea, i didn’t click on one link, and i admitted it when it was pointed out.

    “Yes I went full offense despite no reading the other person’s evidence and the shit I was saying was wrong and completely uncalled for, but I eventually realized my mistake, and then continued my offense.”

    Yeah, no. You were talking out of your ass, realized you were talking out of your ass, but then didn’t let up when you did. You’re even still pushing the offense now, by making this thread to complain about it. You don’t escalate an issue like this when you’ve got that much egg on your face. The other person was 100% correct, the fact that there was a minor flaw in the evidence presented by the person you initially responded to does not give you license to ignore other evidence, and it certainly doesn’t give you license to ignore other evidence and then go on the offensive. You are extremely out of line and acting like a narcissist.

      “Yes I went full offense despite no reading the other person’s evidence and the shit I was saying was wrong and completely uncalled for, but I eventually realized my mistake, and then continued my offense.”

      this is a straw man. and i wasn’t wrong: what i said is it is no longer the acamedy’s position that a vegan diet can be healthy at all stages of development, and i’ve been right this whole time.
