So I started a piefed account, mostly for my writing so that dbzer0 (and Lemmy) wouldnāt have to put up with all my weird fiction stories all the time. Plus, I wanted to check out the biggest Piefed space, piefed.social, because Iām excited about some of the new concepts they are bringing to the table.
I created a writing community, a Socialist community, and a Green Party community there today.
Nothing outrageous or controversial. I posted one news article in each of the Socialist and Green Party communities, and a couple to my writing comm.
The Socialist and Writing communities were local only, so they wouldnāt even show up in the larger Fediverse. I only posted in my own communities. No controversy intended, none created.
I just got banned, almost immediately after starting the communities. The reason in the mod log says: āUniversal Monkā.
The admin, @rimu@piefed.social, hasnāt replied to my DM asking why (yet). I guess being me is reason enough. I feel so famous! Or maybe infamous?
Iām still a libertarian socialist tho! Piefed.social and Lemmy aināt gonna change my mind.
Oh, I already know how the votes (down) here are gonna go! But doing my part in adding content to Lemmy anyway; being the change I wanna see. No regrets! :)
EDIT: Iām posting this here, and Iāve repeated it in this thread. Just in case piefed.social banned me on the assumption that Iām āconservativeā because Iāve posted links to conservative news articles⦠then, by that same logic, shouldnāt I also be considered socialist and anarchist because I post so much socialist and anarchist content? I actually post way more socialist content than anything else. And there is nothing in my fiction writing that is conservative at all. My entire post history is public, it doesnāt take much effort to see that I post practically anything I find interesting.


Just in case anyone out there thinks that Iām exaggerating about the venom spat towards me and some background of why piefed.social was so quick to ban me without looking at anything, this is from two days ago. Notice a different mod asked someone else to use their custom program to āinvestigateā me. Itās a public comment made 2 days ago, but I blurred names of poster and the mod since they arenāt part of my original complaint. I think this is allowed just for background of how far some Lemmy people go. If not I can delete, and I can also send the actual link (itās a public comment) to mods.
Iād love to see the results of this āinvestigation!ā lol
Iāve always found that those who claim to be doing an investigation of users/instances never really show anything.
āThis account is a botā āThis instance is vote manipulatingā āThis user is paid by a government.ā
Youāre probably never going to see any data about it, because they have none.
Fake pretext to cover up poor conduct.
Agreed. Not only that, but any āinvestigationā would be everything we already know. āOh, Universal Monk posts a fuckton and some of his links are to news articles that annoy people. And he refuses to change his mind about shit. The fucker.ā
Ok, cool!
HOW DARE YOU POST CONTENT ON A PLATFORM WE WANT TO GROW AND HAVE YOUR OWN MIND?
MODS!!!
