I apparently got shadow banned almost a year ago from blahaj, for a comment I made on lemmy.world
(lemmy.sdf.org)
For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.
They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.
The context here is that OP was posting on lemmy.world when got accosted by some random person about usage of word "dude" being transphobic, which is not true.
ohh really intent don't matter no more?
what sort of clown position is this? accusing people of "crimes" and it does not matter if they even meant to commit the crime?
If you are going to harass people online about their choice of words, they will clap back. This is internet 101.
they clearly weren’t banned for an intent that they only expressed in the post complaining about being banned. i hope you’re being willfully dense, because i can’t help you if you GENUINELY think this bullshit.
yes i genuinely think that this modding is grade A clown behavior lol
the solution is to block the instance, that's the lesson here.
overzealous modding will eventually isolate instances with overzealous modding into echo chambers.
but we need these discussions so that general public is educated on these issues.
cheers!
yeah it sounds like that instance is a bad fit for you. probably similar situation for most everyone incurring bans, and most likely the case for the folks who come to places like this to complain about them.
seems like the moderation is working perfectly! ^^
