I’ve been posting things that Ethan Klein (host of the H3H3 Podcast) has said and done into the H3H3 Podcast community and the mod decided that relevant content wasn’t good enough to participate.
I’ll take my community ban and won’t fight it, but it’s the very definition of petty mod behavior.

This was the comment that got me banned:
I clearly know enough about Ethan Klein and the H3H3 Podcast to be a participant in some form.
If what I’m posting is the truth, why is it such a problem to post it here? Doesn’t Ethan stand by what he says and does?
This is kinda how it works. The mod was pretty clear about not wanting the content, you created a separate c/ to specifically talk about the snark side of H3 when the fan community didn’t want to engage with it.
Which I get btw, very few fan communities embrace a controversy.
This kinda seems like how it’s supposed to work, especially on this diaspora based system.
I wouldn’t have created my own community and put as much of Klein’s controversies here if the mod had allowed for discussion about the H3H3 podcast in the H3H3 podcast community.
I mean not to call you out for being obtuse, but you’re being obtuse. You posted something about an h3 controversy, the mod pretty politely told you they didn’t want it in that community, so you created a more appropriate community for what you wanted to post.
Again that’s how it seems like it works, no matter how much you want to lean on “it’s an h3 forum and this is h3 news," That’s a silly, kinda childish take. It ignores all the previous context.
But good on you for creating a snark community, I will be blocking both communities if I see them, because I’m not chronically online enough to be part of any streamer community.
I posted what Ethan Klein, the host of the H3H3 podcast, posted on his Instagram. It was the same post that was posted in the main H3H3 podcast subreddit. It is relevant regardless of my personal opinions about it.
If Ethan Klein doesn’t want people discussing his opinions on his podcast, then he shouldn’t put them out in public.
Again, this mod disallowing discussion about the H3H3 podcast is what has spurred me to make sure everyone on Lemmy sees what a piece of shit Ethan is rather than just fostering discussion about it.
Right, you’re still being obtuse, and still ignoring any context, again now you have a place for your snark that is not a fan page.
Listen, this is very much turning into a “can I see you manager, there’s no sign saying I can’t smoke here” from you.
But that’s ok, cause you have your own store now where you are the manager and you can say anything you want about h3.
Edit: I also feel like I should point out, you aren’t in an argument with Ethan Kline, you are wanting to post something to a Lemmy fan discussion page they don’t want, and you are dealing with the mod of the community.
Assigning any of that righteous h3 to them is like parasocial and weird in the same way being obsessive about a celebrity is. I’m getting uncomfortable with the vitriol and anger at Ethan Kline you are assigning to a mod on Lemmy. I get being mad at h3, but like take a step back here.
Shout out to the power trippin mod that banned me so now I’m petty enough to make my own community to track Ethan Klein’s deplorable actions here on Lemmy.
Thanks, babe <3
Looks like he wanted a fan club but instead got a community about H3H3.
And just like on Reddit, their ban has now led to the creation of a snark community specifically to document Ethan Klein and his obsession with raping little boys, spreading hasbara, and harassing people.
Aight, nobody is going to like this response.
This isn’t PTB, but it isn’t YDI either.
The mod in question gave a clear and valid reason for taking action. While I don’t personally agree that it’s the best specific action to take (a temp ban would have been the appropriate step imo), it is perfectly acceptable to insist on a fan club atmosphere in what amounts to a fan club community. Is lemmy/fediverse the best place for a fan club forum? Hell no, but it is the least bad place that’s publicly accessible.
However, your comments and posts were also perfectly acceptable when using a community on the fediverse. The c/ is hosted here, is public, and you were on topic. As I already said, if the mod in question had taken other steps first, it is possible that you would have left the community on your own, so this isn’t a case of someone being a bad actor, or at least not in a way I can see. That means no YDI.
The other acronyms don’t apply here either. It isn’t an ESH imo. This would be a “people sometimes don’t fit other’s expectations” PSDFOE. Nobody was an asshole that I could see. Nobody was doing anything just to fuck with other people.
Agreed, this seems like the system working as intended, now there is also a place to specifically post h3 snark, this seems like everything worked out fine.
I haven’t been paying much attention to H3 or other political influencers, because they seem to all have something terrible going on. This fiasco on Lemmy exposed me to H3’s current take over Ed Sheeran’s debacle. I didn’t realize H3 is really leaning into the Zionist side now.
I didn’t realize H3 is really leaning into the Zionist side now.
Yeah they’re full Zionist after the failed attempt at doing a podcast with Hasan Piker called The Leftovers. Ethan went all in on the hasbara after Oct 7 and has become completely obsessed with taking down Hasan and attacking those on the left.
It’s funny that the H3H3 community mod banning me has exposed more of Ethan’s bullshit on Lemmy.
This ain’t no thing - in my opinion. I think it boils down to people having different levels of netiquette.
Men want to comment on women’s communities… bigots want to abuse Blahaj… people get on their moral high horse over literal shitposts… people want to speak bad in fan communities… etc etc
We’re not all welcome everywhere. For differing reasons.
Don’t folk sometime look around a community, read the room, and then think that, actually, perhaps this community ain’t for me?
It’s like walking into a gay bar and complaining why there are gay people there. There is a reason why these types of communities existed, with an echo chamber moniker on reddit, and now on Lemmy.
And some lemmy instances are just too conservative, like .world, but it’s not overtly noticeable.
Tbf, the community was about the H3H3 podcast and I was posting about the H3H3 podcast.
I wish there was a snark community on lemmy, but probably no one would want to create one just for Ethan to sue them into oblivion.
Psssstt - I did it
Hell yeah, you go Velma! Subbed. I miss the h3snark subreddit so much. Looking forward to getting this new com going with you!!! 😁
It’s one of two subreddits I still keep tabs on, the users there are so funny and empathetic and snarky haha. Happy to have you join in!
Except it’s been dead for a year ever since Ethan threatened/brought legal action against the mods, right?
They’re even more ruthless there. And be sure to check out the daily Megathread! It’s a mix of criticizing H3H3, following Hasan’s stuff, and users sharing their pet pics. It’s kinda nice!
Oh damn I’ve been missing out! Tysm
I’m certainly thinking about it after this hahaha
Seems like the mods just noticed you and hammered down lmao. I mean h3 gonna h3 what did you expect lmao!!
I mean h3 gonna h3 what did you expect lmao
This mod is keeping the tradition alive, I guess hahah
deleted by creator
Just to clarify - do you think I posted this in support of Ethan Klein?
Sorry my bad. Deleted.
PTB.
I like the energy though :)
how is the podcast host relevant to the podcast?
Seriously?
Wow so now my inbox is getting brigaded because you came into a community about a podcast to shit post about the host. You can not like ethan, that’s fine. You can criticize the content of the podcast (especially current episodes, not a cherry picking of stuff from half a decade ago), that’s fine. But I asked you politely for days to find another place for personal criticism of a person instead of cherry-picking specifically aligned talking points, and you did the cowardly “I’m just posting things he said, what’s wrong with things he said?” You don’t participate in the podcast, you’re coming in overlapping with a crowd that HAS crossed from criticism to harassment, and I’m squashing it before it spirals. If you hate the podcast, block the community and go about your day. Don’t go crying about it and spreading my name to people who think they’re freedom fighters by spamming my inbox.
That’s the comment I hit the ban button about, but the entire thread is the evidence. Which is posted in the ban message. You have selective attention to try to farm outrage, it colors what you say and what you hear, and I think you follow a pattern that is actively participating in the decline of discourse, where you pick a side then selectively use things to just reinforce your incorrect points.
Edit: Providing context, I assumed people would follow the link in the posted ban message: https://lemmy.world/post/51982261
you can go cry censorship in whatever circle-jerk space you land in.
Hey, I’m just doing what you told me to do.
You can not like ethan, that’s fine.
Clearly that is not fine.
not a cherry picking of stuff from half a decade ago)
Like Ethan did with Macklemore?
You don’t participate in the podcast
You don’t know that.
you’re coming in overlapping with a crowd that HAS crossed from criticism to harassment
Where am I harassing anyone by posting in the community?
I’m blocking you because this is absurd, and thanks for linking my account so I could get a “KYS Power tripper” message in my inbox which I reported. This is the mentality that gets CPS called to harass kids, and has skulls sent to houses.
Got a screenshot of that or are we just taking your word that it happened?
For the record, the main link in the post leads to the full discussion. I don’t think additional context is helping you out here.
, where you pick a side then selectively use things to just reinforce your incorrect points.
If my points are incorrect, feel free to correct them. You said yourself that what I was saying wasn’t untrue:
I didn’t say what you said was untrue
