UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in [email protected], which is a more reasonable ban. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.

So it seems i’ve gotten a month-long ban in… over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.

Screen cap of comment for posterity:

It’s directly replying to a comment saying they can’t imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it’s satirizing people’s mental gymnastics about fishes’ pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.

It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.

      Ada used to do this too before people started speaking up

      Mods and admins will always find a way to trip over the smallest amount of power.

      The ban across multiple communities is not intentional. I just meant to ban them from [email protected]. I was not used to Tesseract’s ui. But even that was definitely jumping the gun upon rereading the joke.

        Why would you ban them from !vegan though, considering the comment was made in another community entirely? Even if we assume the comment was serious, you’re basically saying the rules of the !vegan comm extend across the fediverse.

          The op’s comment was fine. My thought process was to avoid problematic users from entering a community they’re not ready to respectfully engage with, no one should have to explain themselves to the individuals who are engaging in bad faith. Notice how the bans are temporary.
