I looked away for a few days, and I guess it's down? I came back and it's not working for me. Are they doing maintenance?

For those reading, for more context see https://lemm.ee/post/55188600

You were banned from multiple instances by multiple admins for being an alt of Call Me Leni, who has been banned for Nazi apologia. (You denied that Elon Musk did two Nazi salutes at the inauguration on the Call Me Leni account and attempted to gaslight people/sealion, and you also denied that the AfD party, which Elon also supports, is Nazi aligned.)

You also created a created a [email protected] community on this account:

Sidebar:

This is a community where those who seek to be manipulative or discuss manipulation can come to discuss themselves and ways they bent norms and rules. If that sounds crazy to you, there is a rationale and it isn’t necessarily illegal or immoral, in fact it’s arguably the opposite. Suppose you live in a world where you are everyone’s target, and they’re willing to engage in hypocrisy if it means fulfilling this. You cannot fight back, you are only one individual and you will lose. You cannot leave. You cannot stand to sit through it. What do you do? You find loopholes and put their tactics in such a position that they are fooled or swayed against each other. Imagine there are anonymous reporters who falsely report both SWAT and the CPS on you. Though this example is borderline illegal, as is reporting them on you, a machiavellian is the one who puts them in a position where they meet up in your home and go after each other. Machiavellianism is the martial arts of the mind, the Karate Kid for people who cannot rely on their bodies. Please note that, in order to honor Lemmy, anything that’s actually aligned with criminality will be banned, as will the posters.

Aside from @[email protected], I've never gone by any name other than the one I go by in responding to you right now. This witch-hunting is why so many people have been caught in. Neither are you accurately describing what happened (whether here or even elsewhere with other matters) or what I own.

Some people I guess thought you were me, and they technically banned me (for stuff the stated modlog reason oversimplifies), so they banned you too. They did this to quite a few people.

For not agreeing that Elon Musk was/is a Nazi. He has been called that because of his body language during the Trump rally which resembled Nazi salutes, but he spoke that this wasn't his intent, with the anti-defamation league, Snopes, and half of the United States of America (including the president) all saying his elaboration on his intent checks out but with his critics still going after him for it.

I don't like the guy, but I'm not going to nitpick like this and put words in his mouth, especially as someone who can relate to people trying to speak for her as a form of attack, and for this reason, people reasoned "Leni must be a Nazi if she dismisses suspicions that someone else is a Nazi just because he did those hand gestures" and they banned me. At the same time, @[email protected], who already hated me, started to list suspected alts, and Lemmy World was like "well he's saying it, so it must be true" and put on a fireworks display of bans based on the idea I must have all these alts.

This didn't stop my first reaction to being banned from being "wow, the usual barrage of obligatory downvotes I usually get finally stopped". Plus the ban left a lot out, so it is almost like they half-assed it to please the people.
