Will it be effective?
Spoiler
No, it was not very effective.
EDIT: The banning event continues. Please consult the modlog to observe.

If you scroll down to about a day ago, you might be able to observe an emerging behavior from this mod.
EDIT 2: The mod in question moderates a total of 108 Lemmy communities. How deep does this conspiracy run? Is this mod a lost Redditor? More to come!
EDIT 3: The mod has now removed my comment all together, one might assume because it was still receiving upvotes in the 2 hours following my ban. Are there similarities here to Watergate? You be the judge!
EDIT 4: The mod in question has now been removed as a mod of the !vegan@lemmy.world community, as a result of their abuse of power.

This was their response:
EDIT 5: This will be my final update, since as far as I see it, the issue this thread focuses on has been resolved. To quote Beaver herself in a very ironic comment she made directed towards someone else:
Clearly this was all just a case of...
Random, but related, question. How do you pull up these lists? I've been banned from a community, but have no idea why
Most instances should have a modlog link in the footer of the main page.
It theoretically should show any moderation actions taken across all instances that specific instance is federated with.
This is not written in stone however, because I've had "shadow" mod actions levied against me by an instance that did not appear on the modlog. I cannot comment on why or how an action wouldn't appear in the modlog, I don't know enough about that.
FYI all mod actions should show up, but if a post has been "purged" (completely deleted from the lemmy db) then it also disappears from the modlog.
