Guess I said some shit that wasn’t liked many months ago. Just wondering if there is a place to have my acct reviewed for reinstatement or those communities? Not a bad person, just have some issues in speaking/getting my point across and it can easily be construed as aggressive/harsh when they isn’t my intent.
I mean, most of the communities that are heavy handed in their moderation like this, are building themselves to becomes extreme echo chambers. Examples include c/world, c/politicalmemes. One of the worst betrayers of this was @flyingsquid who would regularly get into flame wars with people, then proceed to use their mod authority to ban them. And as much as people complain about people like @jordunlund, they are far, far better as a mod in not abusing their mod authority in this manner (although they have, and its been documented).
However, lemmy is small. And the reality is that the “kinds” of conversations that might happen only in one community are actually happening all over the place. The “conversation” happens wherever the conversation might be.
So instead of worrying to much about it getting unbanned from fiefdoms, you might consider starting your own communities, or taking the conversations you would imagine happening in banned communities elsewhere. The fact is, that the attention and people will follow you if you have good things to say.
Is squid alive?
Haven’t seen him commenting in a long time?
Him and Jordan did run a train on me last year, it was disgusting modding behavior but oh well. Hope squid is doing right.
Squid dropped off the face of the world after moving to the UK. I think they had been terminally online and may have just cut it out cold turkey because they suddenly found themselves in a new environment and had real shit to do like, getting an actual job instead of commenting several hundred times a day.
Sir, I feel attacked!
But you are indeed correct, there is more life than shit posting ehh
It’s just annoying when I go to post in eg: world of Warcraft. And find myself banned when I’m pretty darn sure I never posted there before. Like, I’m not a bad person, I want everyone to enjoy their life and not be bothered by others for who they are. Literally my view on the world but comments get misconstrued in totally unrelated communities and well…here we are.
Guess I’ll just do nothing, or look into ban evading which seems like it makes the entire thing of bans pointless.
Yeah. The draconian/ editorial banning selects for bad actions on the part of users.
