I really have no idea why I was banned from those two communities specifically. I don’t think I’ve interacted with any of them (apart from reading/voting) for weeks. It’s not an instance ban.

If there is a better place to post this, please tell me.

EDIT:

I posted a link that was falsely flagged as malicious, have been unbanned! See comments for more details!

    Why do people care about getting banned from communities they don’t interact with?

      Yeah, I don’t contribute, but I do read them daily. And being banned actually removes them from your sidebar of “subscribed” communities. That’s how I noticed.

      I wouldn’t care if I deserved it. But I really didn’t do anything.

      It allows them to grandstand about internet moderators like it’s some kind of injustice unique to them, and no one else in the history of the world has ever had their rights violated like this.

      I’d care if .world and .ml banned me, as I have most of my feed from there. I don’t really care if johnny.lemmy.us banned me.
