Was banned on a totally different instance and community despite never commenting in the community.
I suspect I was banned for questioning the narrative in this thread yesterday:
I am a trans person and have no issue with trans people expressing who they are. The mods and admins of blahaj frequently use Gatekeeping as a false umbrella ban for any user they want to get rid of. This is also discussed in yesterday’s thread by some users.
The owners of that 196 space have proven they are unable to let sleeping dogs lie and are hellbent on tearing down all other instances in a tribal war, and have decided to start lurking in other spaces and preemptively banning people like reddit mods.
This is not fair moderation practices, it’s a petty tit for tat because abuse in their community was called out yesterday.
I suspect you got instance banned and that got you banned from the community, but you’re going to have to check the modlog yourself.
Crap I forgot that comment, but I think I also commented in another trans community on blahaj so idk if it was a whole instance ban.
I couldn’t see anything that said the whole instance, just for that specific space.
I wish we got messages or something like I did on reddit when this happened instead of waking up one moring to figure out you’ve been effectively shadowbanned with no real explanation.
Fine, I’ll do it myself.
(I don’t mean to be mean, it’s just how I am, btw)
Thanks, does that mean it’s for 196 or the whole instance? I’m still learning how the modlogs work.
Yeah, whole instance (“site”). And that automatically banned you from 196.
