    Reuters publishes an article across its newswire. Lemmy user reposts it. Somehow, the Lemmy user is a bad actor, not Reuters .

      Why not both? Reuters is publishing this for the clicks. Based on the OP’s history of posts and most especially of comments, we’re all well aware of their agenda and lack of good faith engagement (he’s just coming off a three day ban for trolling).

        I’ve been banned multiple times for ( misinformation, trolling, spam, etc.) when I was doing none of those. Once. Once, I was banned for concern trolling, because I didn’t know what I was doing. That one was fair. The others were arbitrary and hypocritical, depending on the moderators mood. I’ve been called a bot, a shill, a Russian actor, a Chinese actor, a Trump supporter, pretty much everything. If you don’t think like the hive mind, you’re a target. Which is fine. But remember, if everyone thinks alike this becomes an awfully boring experience.

          Oh, I’m well aware. The difference is that account had basically just as many posts and almost half the comments you made - and he’s been here for two months and you’ve been around for at least a year. If he just posted his articles and made a sane amount of comments that weren’t constantly trolling, he’d have a lot easier time, but he literally goes out of his way to be disruptive in the comments

          Dude - again with the reading comprehension. <sigh>

          Sealioning (also sea-lioning and sea lioning) is a type of trolling or harassmentthat consists of pursuing people with relentless requests for evidence, often tangential or previously addressed, while maintaining a pretense of civility and sincerity

              Depends on the mod, sometimes it is very specific (“sealioning”, “civility”, “trolling”) and sometimes it’s more general (i.e. “rule 4”, “rule 3”). As you well know as all those examples above are from the explanations of your removed comments.

              And it’s fairly rich for you to speak on behalf of the community. But your semantic games aside, your ban was for a form of trolling. That’s a factual and true statement not up for debate. You can either move forward from it or not, but you can’t pretend it didn’t happen.

                My ban reason says “sealioning” and not “trolling.” If they wanted to ban me for “trolling” they could have said “trolling.”

                If you wanna think both are exactly the same, then have at it. But they have different names. I stated the facts. I didn’t write the rules of this community, so feel free to take that up with the mods.

                I haven’t pretended anything. The modlog is public. Feel free to look at it and see for yourself. Thank you!

                  @jordanlund@lemmy.world Very sorry to @ you, but it seems that UniversalMonk isn’t aware that he was banned for a form of trolling. Could you clarify for him, as he’s claiming that because his ban was for “sealioning” and not “trolling”, that’s somehow different. TIA

                  Now that you have a response from a mod on the fact you were indeed banned for trolling, we’re good, right?

                    Well you are certainly free to say that now if you want to.

                    But I will keep saying that I was banned for “sealioning” because that’s what the modlog says. I fully expect you to jump in every time I say it, to update with your thoughts.

                    Because I can see that it’s very very important to you. So I totally support you believing and saying whatever you wish.

                    And I respect the mods, but I disagree with them. And that’s fine. It’s their community, their rules. I have no hard feelings about it.

                    And it won’t stop me from posting. Thank you!

        If this poster didn’t take our feedback personally, it’d go to its special little corner of Lemmy and post all it wants there, because obviously the community here doesn’t like this poster, and finally, the moderation team is saying they’ve had enough of its shit.

        It’s here because it really wants to ‘show us up’, posting incendiary topics, needling posters, pushing this meme that Trump would be better than Harris, and constantly egging on commentor after commentor.

          I have several communities I created and mod. So I do post all I want there. Thank you!

          I don’t know what meme you are referring to, as this is a Reuters article. And I posted it because I found it interesting. That’s it.

          If you’re that concerned with what they report on and write, then reach out to Reuters and make your thoughts known. You are in charge of your own voice, friend! Thank you!
