I cannot repost what Flying Squid was posting here, because it involved highly disturbing and dangerous content, including:

Content Warning

Graphic content, harassment, self-harm, and suicidal ideation, which I reported immediately.

While this behavior is shocking, it’s not completely out of left field, as members of this community and platform will already be familiar with their behavior. Flying Squid has long been regarded as one of the least productive and most problematic mods on all of Lemmy, often picking fights and abusing their mod privileges. I view this change as a positive step for Squid, .world, and Lemmy as a whole.

    People over at .world def purged stuff from mod log regarding me. Granted I wasn’t suicidal, so def wasn’t important, but they still purged some stuff. They def wanted to paint a particular narrative of me.

    They say they banned me for abusive PM’s. But I haven’t seen any evidence of those PM’s or what they considered “abusive.” Even after I asked them to publish these “abusive emails” for everyone to see.

    So yeah, they definitely can make up shit on their own over there.

    Having said that, sounds like both people involved in this interchange need help. Why the fuck do people take shit on Lemmy so seriously?!

        Some things are true whether you believe them or not.

        If you ever find proof of “harassing” DM’s that I sent, please post for us all to see. Because that was the supposed reason for my banning and when I ask about it, all I get is “That’s private, we don’t share private information.”

        Seems easy enough to block out the “private” part and show screencaps of what I said that would be deemed “harassing.” tho.

        Face it, the reason I was banned was because people thought I was a troll because I didn’t vote for the Biden/Harris train and voted socialist. Now it’s ok to bitch about Biden/Harris. And in fact, lots do now. But 3 months ago, it was viewed differently.

        Feel free to take a look: https://lemmyusa.com/post/sh.itjust.works/26969318

        Still proud of what I did and what I said. And very very happy that I didn’t vote for Harris in the election. :)

        And the banning did nothing, I just switched to better and less censorship-happy instances. So all good.

        And people are still trying to ban me from other instances. LMAO But it didn’t work: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31017252

        Thanks, friend! Proof that people are still trying as of just last week (it failed and the admins in question rightly stood up for me and refused to bow down to the witchhunt):

          I know who you are, monk. Ive interacted with you before. I don’t care what you have to say, to be frank. You’re a troll and you know it.

            I know. Glad you admitted it rather than imply that I was lying.

            You’re a troll and you know it.

            Nope. Posting things you don’t like doesn’t make me a troll. And I’m still glad I voted third-party. Funny how lots more are advocating for third-party now, huh? When I did it, I was accused of being a troll. Hmmm, my my my, how things change once the truth comes out.

            I’m still here, no matter how much you all tried to censor me. Because the fediverse is awesome and celebrates diversity of thought.

            And I hope that the squid guy in question, who I don’t agree with most of the time, realizes that Lemmy shouldn’t be taken so seriously. Hopefully, he steps back a bit and heals.

            Thanks, friend! :)
