Recently I was simultaneously banned from a huge pile of “communities” with a mod commentary “for upvoting homophobic materials”(or “transphonic”, I don’t remember exactly). This kind of bans is the very reason why I quit Reddit. Is it normal here, or is it just some feral mod from Reddit?
P.S. Before you sidestep/offtop/ad-hominem here: no, I have nothing against LGBT folk and absolutely not interested in the theme.
This must have been with an alt account of yours? I don’t see any actions taken against your account in the mod log.
Yeah, looking up the modlog for Lembot_0001 on lemmy.ml it seems there was more going on than just upvotes, and they got in trouble with programming.dev, europe@feddit and more as well.
Oof… yeah, that sort of tea kettle of targeted rage and violence seems more like a 4chan user. They also happened to find themself on some of the instances that have reputations of their own (I’m not referring to either of the two instances that you mentioned). Should I pre-emptively type Lembot_0003 to 9999 into my blocked accounts list?
being banned on .ml communities for “rule 1” is extremely vague though, since they’ll call you a xenophobe for criticising China.
Yeah, and those aren’t tied to a comment or anything it’s harder to make an opinion of our own. But for the communities I mentioned there are visible comments, and … I think OP wouldn’t have a good time at lemmy.ml, hexbear or blahaj, or even any instance where some common decency is expected.
Yes, I deleted the previous account. It was banned from the half of the communities I cared about anyway.
I was curious to see who the offending mods/admins were. [email protected] is a good place to post about Lemmy authorities overstepping their bounds, especially if you feel it was particularly unjust.
It seems to be davel from lemmy.ml.
