These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I’d like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I’m wondering if there’s a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

    Are you saying there aren’t a metric fuckton of power-tripping nutjobs in self-appointed positions of authority in the Fediverse?

      I mean, most other people here aren’t banned on so many communities that we want a way to display all the communities we’re banned on

        Ok? So?

        I’d like to compare lists with a bunch of people like OP. It would be handy for average Lemmings to know which communities have moderators with sandy cracks. It would be super useful for admins looking to improve their mod teams.

          Honestly, you’re right. I also apologized to OP in another comment. I don’t know why I was so against them when I wrote these comments.

      Bootlicker will always side with authority by default, it is a human condition and one of the mean reasons why we are getting fucked. The harder normie bootlicks, the harder daddy owner fucks us. It starts with basic shit like this but goes all the way up.

        Lemmy really needs an app with a de-moderation feature, like Uneddit did for Reddit.

        The modlog is great, but it relies on the user going out and looking for power-tripping mods. A better option would be a client app that parses an instance’s mod log and restores and highlights moderated comments.

        Censorship might be necessary on today’s platforms, but it is still an evil. Censors need to be closely monitored by the community.
