I was not posting on their instance communities much recently after I promised to pause. The first modlog warning did not reach my inbox on a mobile app using Piefed.ca then the head admin responds a bit too aggressively then makes 3-day warning bans from communities that they personally moderate.

Original warning that I was not notified about in my inbox:

Callout by top admin of Beehaw:

3-day warning bans.

    I don’t know.

    Beehaw has always been kind of their own thing, especially defederating LW and SJW.

    I wouldn’t call it power tripping to want to have a smaller amount of posts per day.

    [email protected] is probably a good alternative if you want to avoid the over-centralization on LW. Blahaj should have another one for LGBTQ+

      It’s okay to want less posts per day on their instance but it’s not okay to instance ban someone for being active outside their communities.

          was not posting on their instance communities much recently after I promised to pause.

          I was frequently posting us news on [email protected] instead of [email protected] and yet I was still banned.

          Why ban someone who complied with the admin’s comment.

          The worry is that this could become permanent because I like posting articles I find interesting. Thanks for asking me to clarify.

            The communications you posted are all about beehaw though. What makes you think it was about other communities? Did they explicitly say that?

                That’s one possible interpretation but the modlog doesn’t explicitly state this.

                Did you make any posts on Beehaw between the above conversation and the banning? Maybe they still considered your reduced rate of posts too high. If not, then I agree that would be very weird.

                Either way, I think this is a good argument to have an explicit rule regarding what constitutes “too much” rather than relying on common sense which is highly subjective.

                  The modlog doesn’t have to state it for it to be the case. Intentions can be masked.

                  I barely made any posts due to the earlier conversation.

                  I agree with that. However a remote poster posting outside their instance should not warrant a ban on their instance for this.
