LemmyWorld/PoliticalVideos mod makes clear no criticism of Democrats committing Genocide is allowed.

Telling a known troublemaker they are on thin ice isn't "power tripping".

If anything it's a mistake to not ban them, their behavior hasn't shown signs of changing. When it comes to people like this banning them is the best thing for the community, or even the instance/fediverse as a whole.
- I was hoping they just acted a bit harshly because of their concerns about the matter at hand, but it seems that that was a mistake.
Calling out Genocide is very problematic on Lemmy.World
- Oh, come on. You know as well as anyone else why you get banned from so many communities and it's not because you were "Calling out Genocide." Trolling and bad faith arguments aren't welcome in most communities.
- No, it’s just YOU that’s problematic.

YDI and honestly CLM, them tolerating you being there is a tactical error as a moderator. Your reputation precedes you, it's well known that you've very uncivil, hostile, and often engage in bad-faith discourse. I couldn't blame most mods for banning you on sight, I couldn't even blame most mods for banning you preemptively with an API request if they knew before. I can't even blame many instance admins for banning you from their site, because your behavior is atrocious, and isn't changing.

Blahaj.zone modlog site ban

Calling out Genocide and Apartheid is very bad faith. That's why most of my bans are for made up reasons.

I'm not banned from Blahaj either. Guess the lying continues.
- You're right, thank you for pointing out that discrepancy. I have reached out to ada about this issue of what seems to be a bug in how bans are handled in Lemmy so she can correct it because it is clear that she banned you for being a bigot but never unbanned you from their instance. I imagine this can be sorted out soon and you'll be back to being banned from blahaj.zone in no time.
  
  Edit: Ada responded and your ban in blahaj.zone has been restored back to its original state, very sorry about the inconvenience. hopefully it won't happen again.
- You weren’t banned for calling out genocide, you were banned for calling everyone that disagrees with you a genocide supporter. It’s in the mod logs.
  
  It even states that you’re incapable of going 24 hours without doing so.

Also a clueless mod, if they understood the situation with this person they would've banned him on sight. His bad behavior doesn't show any sign of changing so it would be a wise thing to do. Normally it's not great to do but in cases where the person has a long history of hostility and bad behavior it makes sense.

YDI.

Also, I'm starting to suspect you do it on purpose. I mean, you're constantly doing and saying things you know will be downvoted.

I remember downvote farming as a hobby on Reddit; they even had a few subreddits with leaderboards. I never really understood the appeal but I just came up with a theory:

I think it might be a fetish. Kind of like those people that like to be humiliated and/or punished. Is it the punishment and scorn that excites you?

That being said, you definitely deserve all the bans you collect like trophies.

Edit. Hit reply to the wrong thread
- I think it’s still relevant since at the end he got banned from the community anyway, actually ironically for this very post. They banned him for this post because he couldn’t hold off on the bad behavior for even 24 hours.

Update: Linkerbaan has now been permabanned from his home instance. I think the content of this post and his extensive modlog history more than justifies their decision. While I am sympathetic with linkerbaans position that the US government is complicit in the genocide in Gaza, he frequently made baseless accusations against others, abused the reporting system, and was extremely hostile to other users. He was given many second chances, and I commend the LW team for being so patient with him in general, especially given the level of abuse they were subjected to by this user.

I’m one of the mods there. We generally try to stay neutral unless someone posts blatant disinformation, or is not acting kind and is starting combative comment threads. You’ve done the latter a lot.

Moreover, our bias is to let the reports and downvotes guide us. The people in c/videos have been complaining to us about your behavior for quite a while now, and they‘ve not been appreciating the content and comments you’ve been contributing.

We’re a community of people. If you can’t participate constructively in that community, please find another community or create your own community. Lemmy is a federated system - you have options.

What an elaborate way to write 'we're trying to create a blue maga echo chamber no dissent allowed no matter how civil'.
- Linkerbaan, you can't force people to listen to your opinions. And you don't have a right for your views to be platformed in every community either. Im quite sympathetic to your stated cause, as are many other mods, which is probably the only reason your LW account hasn't been permanently banned tbh. But if you don't bring anything to a community except a bad attitude and a well known reputation for trolling, name calling and bad faith accusations, then wtf do you expect to happen?
- They let you get away with this campaign for basically a year and here you are whining about "no dissent allowed," lol
