Permanently Deleted
I was banned from the discord and have had no problems posting or interacting with the mods here so far so the clean slate approach is definitely real if you interact in good faith imo.
Just going to edit to say I used exactly the same username, so people definitely would’ve known it was me.
i got banned from discord because i was stupid, but i have no issues with it. And discord is very hard to keep up with tbh.
banned
Yeah I got banned from the discord for posting a stupid meme that I realized in retrospect hurt people. Just use an alt-email to re-register and you can easily rejoin the Discord server. I’m enjoying the community again in harmony while being more mindful of others.
Yeah there was even a everyone ping on the discord with a post saying moderation would be sketchy and make mistakes and catch comrades in the crossfire, and saying that chapo chat will be better, which is what I’ve experienced, I oviously can’t speak for others.
The admins and moderators running the discord server are the same ones running this lemmy instance (with a few exceptions). Assuming you were interacting in good faith on discord, what makes you believe you won’t encounter similar problems here with moderation?
Multiple downvotes within seconds of commenting. Good faith discussion, for sure.
Because as others have said, the rules were much more strict on discord than here. Also I believe to some extent I deserved my ban at the time. I managed to ping the mods by accident and post violent scenes/retoric twice, which is against the discord TOS but not against the rules on Lemmy. (Except pinging the mods for no reason, that’s bad everywhere). Also I’ve had good and constructive interactions/discussions with the people that gave me warnings/banned me on the discord here in chapo chat, so it’s going great so far for me.
Actually responding instead of instinctively downvoting, thanks.
I don’t agree that what you described justifies a permanent ban. Many other communities use a punishment tier system, with cooldowns, that permit a reasonable level of moderation action per user.
The rules were strict on discord, sure, but they’re relatively strict here as well (compared to the old subreddit). They’ve said they’re planning to loosen the rules over time, but at the moment the same issues with users discussing in good faith being unnecessarily targeted is still relevant.
