I don’t know if you’ve seen the video of Snoop Dogg criticizing other black artists for performing at Trump’s inauguration in the first election? He called them, and I quote, “jigaboo ass n-…”.
I used the “jigaboo” word to criticize Snoop for performing at Trump inauguration party. I thought it was a made up funny word that he had come up with. But apparently not. It has a historical racist meaning, and I wasn’t aware of that. And instead of explaining it to me, everyone blew up and an admin from lemmy.ca decided to go on a rampage and ban me from every community I ever participated on.
I’m not American and I don’t know everything about the full history of black racism in the US. (I mean, there’s so much it’s hard to keep up.) And while I’m very bilingual, I’m not a native English speaker. When I learned my mistake I went back to apologize using my lemmy account.
When the ban reached its deadline, it was never removed. I was permanently banned due to a bug. The admins tried to fix it with manual manipulations of their database, but my account was screwed. So I essentially can’t use it anymore.
I’m pretty upset about this. I don’t blame all the admins, most are pretty great people. But there’s one that went overboard and destroyed my account basically over one mistake.
Which Piefed instance was that?
I can’t help but ask, what was the “mistake” as well? :|

Sorry to hear. Not sure if that bug gas been fixed since then. @[email protected] @[email protected]
PieFed has a feature that makes it very difficult to evade a ban. It will sometimes mean things like this happen but it’s worth it.
So in this case, the issue comes from the user above commenting with a Lemmy account after being banned on their Piefed one?
