UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in [email protected], which is a more reasonable ban. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.
So it seems i’ve gotten a month-long ban in… over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.
Screen cap of comment for posterity:
It’s directly replying to a comment saying they can’t imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it’s satirizing people’s mental gymnastics about fishes’ pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.
It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.
The second part is almost completely impossible to do.
Difficult, yeah. Impossible, no. It could be one of conditions of using the software. But I am not claiming it is easy.
Lemmy’s license forbids doing this.
Other software could be developed to use it instead.
If so that obviously would have to change first.
And the other point?
Eh?
Other people making compatible software with no such license.
Ah. I don’t know enough about it to comment. I was under impression that Lemmy is THE software but I may be wrong.
Lemmy uses a protocol called activitypub, which any software can add support for.
piefed and mbin are other compatible softwares.
