I did some analysis of the modlog and found this:
Ok, bigger instances ban more often. Not surprising, because they have more communities and more users and more trouble. But hang on, dbzer0 isn’t a very big instance. What happens if we do a ratio of bans vs number of users?
Ok, so lemmy.ml, dbzer0 and pawb are issue an outsized amount of bans for the number of users they have… But surely the number of communities the instance hosts is going to mean they have to ban more? Bans are used to moderate communities, not just to shield their user-base from the outside. Let’s look at the number of bans per community hosted:
Seems like dbzer0 really loves to ban. Even more than the marxists and the furries! What is it about dbzer0 that makes them such prolific banners?
Raw-ish numbers and calculations are in this spreadsheet if anyone wants to make their own charts.
“I discovered a community of people disagree with me about something I think I understand quite well. It’s the same community that originated Lemmy, it’s a community of people who actually come from and live in different parts of the world, and it’s the same community many folks just sign up to incidentally when they first check out federated stuff, meaning nothing by it. Better just block the entire thing, lol, I sure know what I’m doin!”
You really sound like a jackass lmao
It’s not willful ignorance to block users, comms, or instances. I’ve been pushed to block news/politics comms across multiple lemmy instances just to save myself the time spent reading the smooth-brained mouth-breathers argue we should abandon money and build a utopia out of hopes and dreams.
I’m sorry to hear you support genocide.
Real careful thinker huh.
That’s actually quite wild coming from someone on dbzero0, which is doing the same on an instance level as instance policy
