Lemmy.World and lemmy.dbzer0.com has defederated from ani.soci...
Just fyi. You have cookiejarobserver@burggit.moe in this thread using his alt @CJOtheReal@lemmy.sdf.org here. He is moderator on known pedo and Loli instance burgitt.moe and he has been very angry at us at Lemmy World for calling him out.
He now pretends that it is not his account even though CJO obviously stands for CookieJarObserver, he also speaks German and he is defending the person that is 'totally not him'.
Pretty sure he is using at least one other account here to play stupid - Amillionnames. This user popped up around the same time CJO had his accounts banned and is always in the same threads. And now they are having conversations pretending they are not the same person.
Yes I am all over this thread with my alt (because I could not talk to him from my LW account since he is banned) but it all just clicked. He was in every thread that mentions LW talking shit with his alts which made me wonder why he would not give his main account so this could be reviewed.
This is the first time Antik is accusing me of being this user, but he has also accused me of being someone else here: http://web.archive.org/web/20231107174821/https://sh.itjust.works/comment/5160618 Apparently it is easier to suggest I'm someone else there and now someone entirely different here without providing any evidence than to answer the reply I left hanging in the thread I've linked.
It must be nice to be able to make accusations without having to provide or worry about archiving evidence.
Fortunately, because I was not an account on lemmy.world, no comment has really been affected, just their visibility.
I can't speak for accusations I'm not aware off, but the only reason I'm here is because I was following lemmy.world admin's comment history, saw one of them trolling this thread with emoticons, and decided to participate in it by doing what they should have had the competence to do, linking to their own explanation elsewhere. After becoming acquainted with the thread, I also added my two cents about my own experiences with abusive mods, which the comments on this thread are becoming a very good example of, and then I became aware of the flame wars the lem.ee antik account was engaging with.
Thank you, Antik, for confirming what https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/554307/Just-wanted-a-warning-Lemmy-World-is-perhaps-worse-than-reddit (if it's not working, here's the archive ) made me suspect. Sane admins don't go around the thread linking to pedo lemmy instances, they don't get engaged in flame wars, they get in contact with admins and moderators and resolve the problems professionally and with the responsibility that they power they've decided to adopt requires.
They aren't kids, one of them is at least a grown man in their 40s with an extensive web development career, not that the world isn't full of examples where this clearly isn't enough for maturity or ethics. Even when they are acting completely different, even when they seem completely nice, even when they are completely agreeing with you about abusive mod practices, it won't matter when they decide they don't like you and the paranoia kicks in.
They live in a narcissistic world were they are completely unable of doing wrong so any suspicion is right. Antik made his accusations 10 hours before he decided to ban me, yet still delayed that much, and he already knew of me around ~20 days ago and had responded several times, before this thread with a different excuse. I can't do anything more than link to archives, it's not like I can pull non-existing server logs. Their claims do not have evidence, and don't expect them to be transparent about it. After all, this was too much for them to accept as criticism.
If there ever comes a time when you decide to criticize the lemmy.world administration, don't be surprised if this ends up being you. I don't know if it's the drugs they are on or what, but all it takes is a bullshit accusation, a paranoid suspicion of coincidences that they themselves create. I don't even know if they are doing this consciously, but at this point, they must be at some level.
I don't envy the jobs of admins and mods, but acting like a shithead will make people follow you just as people who violate the rules. That has always been the problem with protests, even small ones, but that does not mean it's the same bad actor organizing it. My best advice is not to act like a shithead, and fortunately, most lemmy admins aren't. Unfortunately, lemmy.world admins, those of the most populated lemmy instance, are.
Oh, and let's not forget the claims directly from the horse's mouth, Izzy, who was a moderator who worked with the admin team. I wasn't too sure about their claims because of their severity, but now they make all the sense in the world:
