      We’re talking about you @PugJesus@lemmy.world

      Also I think it’s hilarious I had to look up how to tag people on Lemmy and the post I come across is two years ago and they’re asking how to tag users and mention Pug as an example.

      EDIT: 13 downvotes doesn’t seem suspicious at all. /s

                I can still see your comment. And if he did ban you, you can link to the modlogs, though I’m not sure exactly how to find it.

                Edit: Saw the modlogs, so he did ban you, but of course no mention of which comment caused that. My assumption is he could simply be Blue MAGA, but not necessarily Zionist.

                  Neither, I’m just aware that Dems are the only one of the two parties which have moved away from supporting Israel as of late in response to Dem voters, for the first time in my fucking lifetime, moving away from unconditional support of Israel, and have no patience for “Buh-buh-buh-bothsides” bullshit. I checked the user’s comment history before banning for context, which confirmed them as a “Electoralism doesn’t matter!” useful idiot for fascist genocidaires.

                  But hey, at least they can ‘virtue’ signal about how great it is to enable the murder of as many minorities as possible.

          He’s a mod who really doesn’t like it when people talk about Democratic politicians who support Israel’s genocide. Also when you talk about him your comment will get a lot more attention than what you’d expect from organic traffic. I have my suspicions he’s got funding.

            Have you considered he may be a relatively well-known figure in this space, thus generating additional interest that a less-prolific user may not? Due to the rarity of tagging a user in the first place you bring further attention when tagging anyone in any comment regardless of their popularity.

            When that tag involves accusations of pedophile apologia or Zionist-washing without providing evidence it will receive negative attention regardless of the user’s popularity.

            Your suspicions regarding paid engagement ignores the rational explanation that he is simply a recognizable name. Those suspicions are further undercut by tagging him and accusing him of reprehensible behavior. You personally have increased engagement with your actions.

            Please, by all means, provide us with evidence that Pug abuses his banhammer. Mod logs aren’t hidden. If his actions are scummy or inappropriate for his position then prove it. Regardless of his popularity you would be doing a favor for the entire fediverse in doing so.

              I openly admit to being irritable, impatient, and not really suited for modding duties. At the same time, my bans are overwhelmingly for issues of ideology, not tone, and I generally try to find context for the user’s statements before heading in with a ban. If someone calls me a fuckwit, that’s whatever.

              If someone is playing “Bothsides” games when that bullshit is the reason why I’m living in an increasingly fascist state circling the drain, with over a million projected to die from the end of USAID, the unconditional support of Israel’s lunatic genocide in Palestine and imperialism in both Syria and Lebanon, my own increasing inability to find insurance after recent changes in Federal medical policy and state assistance for a chronic disease that will kill me if left untreated (not to mention my mental health issues, which also may kill me untreated), the fact that I’ve had fucking family members who’ve been in the country for almost two decades with no trouble ending up being deported under this administration, that we have people being openly murdered in the streets by unaccountable fascist paramilitaries for the crime of protesting, and every attempt made to enable and assist Russia’s imperialist and genocidal project in Ukraine…

              … well, they can enjoy their ban.

              🤷‍♂️ He deleted the comment he banned me for. Not sure what you want me to do about it.

              Ask him to bring the comment back so you can judge for yourself: https://lemmy.world/post/47534274/24011623

              My comment was something like “If Democratic politicians could be pressured they wouldn’t continue to support Israel’s genocide.”
