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.
There’s a fine line and I guess it can happen when one isn’t experienced enough or jaded.
For example, I don’t think banning pitbull or staffie dogs is great. They are loving, loyal dogs if well-socialized by someone with the time, temperament, and consistency to do so. Banning these beautiful animals often means they are sent to shelters and euthanized wholesale, because they can’t be placed . They didn’t ask to be born, either.
Nonetheless, when I saw a pinned post in the"Ban Pit Bulls” community, I refrained from posting, even if it did seem rather an incongruent view alongside militant veganism. I’d already argued my points which were vehemently rejected.
But yptb just seems like a lot of whining by people unable to self-soothe and self-validate, imo, and I know people are going to be extremely offended by my saying so.
When was this? The one I used to see in All got new moderation (the mod being discussed) who introduced, what I thought, were reasonable rules to encourage actual discourse.
I get what you’re saying about it before but, assuming they’re being fairly enforced, I assume it’s got to be better there now.
Oh that’s encouraging. Maybe I missed it before. I don’t currently own any, but I’m still ok with the breed in general.
We do and I feel like you do. That’s why that community used to bug me so much.
I learned first hand that having a pit or pit mix is a lot different and they take a very patient owner and consistent method of training.
Yes, they can be stubborn! That said, I’ve been guilty of that.
