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.

The one for bad punctuation from the troll community you can probably get overturned…
All the ones for racism and explicit advocation for violence though, you probably won’t be able to get changed.
Quick edit:
Looks like you can comment on lemmy.ml tomorrow, have fun with that I guess
Ouch. Yeah, it’s always the worst users that complain the loudest about moderation
Dude just forgot an oxford comma…

I like blue, hate to eat peanut butter and eliminate all brown people.
I like blue, hate to eat peanut butter, and eliminate all brown people.
It can happen to anyone.
edit: someone more clever can do a better example than this I’m sure
I like eating out my friends and fucking brownies.
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.
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.
As others said, you would have to message the mods of the community or admins of the instance that banned you. Looking at your modlog, I don’t think these can all be overturned since some are too blatant. But I guess you won’t know until you try. In the future, only participate in communities you are interested in after having read the rules, otherwise it just seems like your intentions were to troll.
You can view your modlog here:
I wouldn’t have bothered digging through their modlog, but some of those ban reasons are outright hilarious.
“are you victim-blaming a cat?” has me fucking rolling. Mods were clearly done with this person a long time ago.
That collar was slutty and OP is speaking truth to the matriarchy!
Just throwing this out there…you can just hop over to another instance and voila! No bans.
(This seems like a flaw in the fediverse model, given how easy it is to instance hop.)
Yeah I don’t really wanna ban evade.
You can look yourself up on the modlog to see why you were banned, except in rare cases where they didn’t federate the ban.
Wait for the ban to expire. Time passes.
I got banned from tenforward for saying the ending of Star Trek Discovery didn’t make sense. No name calling, no back and forth arguing, just my statement and a reply explaining one point of my previous post. But that reply was to a mod who didn’t like my explanation.
I messaged mods and nothing.
I love the public facing modlog.
Look at my history. That wasn’t the reason I was banned. Over a year ago I warned another user that I saw that mod ban an account for arguing. That post history was there and flying squid warned him to not do that sort of thing in Ten Forward. A year later I made the mistake of replying to a post that he posted to me. The post was about the writing in Discovery.
You can see my last post on tenforward that got banned. He deleted it but of course in Lemmy it’s only hidden so you can still view it.
So yeah, not only did he ban me but he lied about the reason.
Here is the proof.

I pointed out that constantly posting about ‘trans rights’ was just a way sow division with a topic that directly impacts a very small portion of the population, but gaslights a large portion of the remainder. Got banned.
Wanting rights for a minority is gaslighting and sowing division?
Please, I’m very excited to hear your explanation of how, without being a transphobic piece of shit. Please, go on.
I mean if you don’t mean anything bad you won’t get banned, right? ;)
When you define anything that involves trans people and something you don’t agree with as transphobic then you’re not going to be able to take three steps out of your door in the morning without encountering something transphobic.
Everyone deserves basic human rights and the dignity that comes with them. And someone can feel like they are whatever they think they are, absolutely fine. And others may fundamentally disagree with what you think, which is also completely fine.
The fact of the matter is that the majority of the people in the world, don’t give a shit what bathroom someone uses, or what an adult decides to believe or do with their own body. They never did. So by putting such focus on an issue that impacts hardly anyone directly, one which many people fundamentally disagree with, you’re just making more division.
everyone in the country had their civil rights suspended, so try and think a bit larger than just one microcosm.
I don’t define anything like that. What you criticized was people defending trans rights, which definitely is transphobic. Don’t try to sugarcoat and blur what you initially said.
And if no one gives a shit and the rights are deserved, how do you justify being annoyed with it? If I see people fighting for the right to eat cold fries I’d say “sure, go ahead”, I wouldn’t start opposing them and saying that they’re sowing division. The difference of course being that trans rights are a serious matter.
You’re just trying to suggest, intentionally or not, that defending trans people is negative for society, and if that is not transphobic I don’t know what is.
I never actually criticized people for supporting trans rights. I just pointed out that the topic can be divisive in American culture, and that is someone wanted to sow division, an easy way to do it would be to talk too much about that one very narrow topic, when we should be focusing on broader cooperative efforts at the moment. It doesn’t mean trans people deserve any more or less than anyone else.
You do understand though that the subject was brought by fascists trying to push the narrative of trans as a threat, and that all of the posts about trans rights are trying to counter this overflowing narrative, right?
Also I’m sorry but you never need to cooperate with the nazis. If you consider that a minority should be eliminated simply because they are not like you, you do not deserve any form of respect or attention. Or as I’ve seen before, if you are in a protest and someone is undisturbed waving a nazi flag, you are part of a nazi protest.
You are (intentionally or not, hard to say) pushing the typical stance of the “enlightened centrist” that goes on to say “both sides are wrong so I’m not going to pick sides” which effectively is the same as siding with the fascists. And for the sake of argument, even if people were pushing trans right “too much” (it’s not the case), then so what? If it bothers you so much then it’s probably because you’re against it, I myself am subscribed to a trans community that tends to post a lot of news that I don’t necessarily care to read, but I just keep it because I think it is important to know about it and if I don’t feel like reading it I just skip it. Why on earth would I see it as divisive, unless I am hurt by the existence of trans people?
All in all, it doesn’t feel like you are genuine and if you are, you are definitely misguided (or influenced?), either way your messages only help and support the narrative of fascists who love the idea that fighting for trans rights could be seen as the cause of chaos and division, it’s their newest scapegoat after all.
