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.
Important distinction - when the government controls what you can say, it’s censorship. When you control what people say on your own website it’s called having a website.
Cute but no.
Censorship is censorship. Sure private party can do it legally but we also can discuss their misconduct and keep track of offenders. That’d the entire point of fedi.
People can make up their own opinions if the censorship is warranted unlike corpo platforms
