I don’t expect this to play particularly well here, and maybe I’m just being conspiratorial, but here goes:

I banned jordanlund@lemmy.world from !transgender@lemmy.blahajzone earlier today- he literally posted a matt walsh youtube link and was being otherwise transphobic in a space where that gets you banned. (link)

one of jordanlunds removed comments w/ matt walsh video:

the reason I put down was ‘trolling about neopronouns’ I stand by that, it was violating instance rules and was unacceptable behavior from a moderator of another instance.

Shortly after that I got banned from news@lemmy.world for ‘trolling’. To be clear, jordanlund does not moderate news@lemmy.world, but the timing struck me as an odd coincidence.

The .world thread in question (link)

I was expressing my actual opinion/position on this, if anything the post I was replying to should be considered a rule 1 violation implying leftists are russian/under russian sway:

The removed comments that I was banned (permanent) for were just me being earnest about my position, which you’re welcome to disagree with.

I don’t view protecting my rights as something worth sacrificing other people for, even if they’re on the other side of the planet. You can be mad at me or hate me for that, but I’m not trolling.

People replying felt it was reasonable to call me an idiot for example, yet another example of selective moderation. on .world.

I don’t have any conclusive proof that my banning Jordanlund and then getting banned are related other than the suspicious timing, I welcome clarification.

Anyway in the interest of neutrality and transparency I submit both my ban and jordanlunds for review.

    Did you ping/DM/etc ada or any of the other LBZ admins about this? I don’t know how closely the admins read the mod log, this seems something worth being aware of considering this is the second time in a few days one of the LW “Community Team” mods (still don’t know what that means, other than they are higher in the hierarchy than regular mods) has made a hinky statement about neopronouns.

      LW can’t mod Blahaj communities, so nothing to worry about?

        They can’t, but I think it’s something that should be taken into consideration on continued federation with LW. LBZ came very close to defederating with programming.dev something like a year ago over some transphobia from one of the admins, who was much more opening to learning and remedying the situation than I believe LW is going to be, based on past experience.
