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’m a real human, I’m only on Lemmy to help it grow, I have no Malice or hate in my heart. I’ve been banned from blahaj and beehaw for reasons I don’t agree with, but that is just the price of federation.
A group of admins can have a bad day, ban someone, and that’s it. There is no meta-federation appeal.
Both those instances have very specific rules that they have established for the protection of their communities. If you go in their clubhouse I think its reasonable to abide by their rules, no matter your opinion on them. If you don’t like the rules for whatever reason, there’s no requirement to go to those instances. There are lots of other instances with are more laissez-faire in their approaches if thats your preferred interactions.
As far as I’m aware I never went to their club houses.
I’m confused then. How did they ban you if you weren’t in there? If you were never there, how would you even know you were banned?
You can ban people even if they never go to a community, just by name
I was debugging community federation issues and that’s when I discovered I was instance banned on the above two instances.
Both mod logs for the bans indicate one of the instance admins saw something I wrote elsewhere and banned me.
Ahh gotcha. They saw your activity on other instances and decided pre-emptively they didn’t want you there on their instances. Well, that’s their right, and I know both aggressively defend their communities.
