Could you just summarise it because a video is sort of an inaccessible format for public text discussion?

which state election? Or do you mean federal 3 years ago?

“middle path of masculinity”, between the “emasculated” and “browbeaten” male of the far left and the Tate-like women haters and “pickup artists” of the far right.

“We want to foster the good side [of masculinity],” he says. “Which is being on the mission, wanting to be strong, being something of a warrior, but also being the good man, the loving husband, the loving partner, the good father”

“There is a vitriol against that idea[...]"

If you ask most people who allegedly want to brow beat men what "good masculinity" is you would probably get stuff like:

• strong and helpful
• patient
• skilled
• protects people
• Loving and attentive
• Takes care of body and mind
• Good in a crisis

This guy is claiming men are attacked for wanting to be strong, loving, a good father, and 'something of a warrior'

Idk what the last means but I basically only see men attacked for

• treating women as less then men
• using violence to solve problems that could be talked out
• using violence on the vulnerable

Which uh, notably aren't in his list of reason men are attacked. So I want to ask what men's opinions are.

If she gets away with doing this to me, an instance admin as you pointed out, then that raises significant concerns for me about who she is going to target for character assassination next.

I have no idea who this person is, and if they have a pattern of behaviour of lashing out and harrassing people then I absolutely think banning them to protect users is justified.

It's just, from the outside this really just looks like a grudge between two individuals which is smol beans in terms of internet stuff. Some people have called me a tankie, I've been called an animal abuser by several hundred people on lemmy.world during the ridiculous cat food thing. Should all of those people be instance banned for libel?

I don't think so. Unless say they had a pattern of doing it.

Instance banning someone because you're personally mad they think that you're transphobic just seems like a straight up abuse of the feature and a personal block would be appropriate.

An instance ban is to protect users from someone who is a hazard. Nobody on this instance can interact with a trans person because the administration doesn't like that they think he's not an ally. Absolutely bonkers to defend this lol.

It's not even a dispute about moderation on this server. Frankly vulnerable communities need protecting from bad users, banning people for their actions elsewhere is fine it doesn't need to be reactive. If you're mad that someone thinks you're transphobic then that's between you and them, you shouldn't try and stop anyone on the instance from interacting with them and potentially learning why they think that.

Well in the absence of evidence that this extends beyond an interpersonal drama I have to say that it is my opinion this is a bad decision.

So I understand that this is like petty drama, but it's not clear to me why this justifies an instance ban.

It seems briefly summarised:

• a user doesn't like you
• the user bans you from a community you do not participate in on a different instance
• you are upset at the ban, and the listed reason, you feel that this is not the way someone should behave
• you ban them from the entire instance you are an admin on

It seems that the last action is just out of step. Instance banning makes sense to protect users from harassment, spam, or harmful content but here it basically seems like instead of blocking a user annoying you a tool to silence a community hazard is deployed against an individual whom you merely disagree with.

Has this user behaved in ways which necessecitates protecting the entire community from them that are not part of this?

Not actually true anymore but they're not very performant.

Fine for a handgun to kill someone up close with, but it's not like making a machine to dohickey someone a la Abe is very difficult.

Racist attacks against someone with the goal of excluding them from power are violence.

Pauline is a piece of human filth, I struggle to imagine an australian less worthy of life.
