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.
That’s quite extreme. PTB.
I meant to just ban them from the vegan community on db0. I will reverse this.
also not justifiable. your bans are ridiculous
That makes more sense :D I withdraw my PTB for a BPR since it does seem you misunderstood their comment.
How does someone accidentally ban people across multiple communities and instances? Is there a ban from everything I moderate button?
Yes
Not everything is done with bad intentions.
Ir Reddit taught me anything is that anyone who mods more than one community is physiologically incapable of having good intentions.
much appreciated, that makes more sense.
Sorry about that, I definitely ate the onion in that situation.
Hey, misunderstandings happen. I also jumped the gun a bit by posting in PTB first rather than contacting you directly first.
Y’know, concentrating power in the hands of a single person / group defeats the purpose of decentralisation.
I can understand if the damage is limited to communities within a single instance, but when a ban is so far-reaching - across so many instances - it makes me wonder what’s the point of choosing Lemmy over, say, Reddit.
It’s still the same problem again, just with different people in charge - like Bluesky vs Twitter.
Mods can accidentally hit the ban all option on the Tesseract frontend. Accidents do happen.
Distrust me if you want to.
how did OP get banned in servers from so many different instances?
Not every ban is done in good faith like op has rightfully called out.
that is not an answer to the question I asked
Tesseract has an option to ban an user across multiple comms.
Just say the truth, you wanted punitive action. Now go ahead and ban me as well on any way communities you mod I don’t want to ever hear of you
the… scales… of justice are often harsh
But fair when they are gill-ty
Only with de-fin-itive evidence
looks like they’re letting him off the hook tho!
After the ‘update’ I’m still confused how that is even worth a 6 day ban from the vegan community.
They also walked that back a bit after.
Right but 6 days for that makes vegans look absolutely nuts.
Inb4 I’m banned for being anti vegan I’m literally 20 years vegan
You have defended tankie vegans before in the past vis-à-vis vegantheoryclub.org

I didn’t know PETA modded communities on Lemmy
The mod in common across all these servers is @[email protected] and her other alternate accounts on various servers.
Sunshine, if you see this, this is a pretty overkill response from you over what is a joke about the lengths people go to to lie to themselves. If you’re thinking it was a bad joke still deserving a ban, at least diminish the sentence length down from a month to a few days instead. I will edit the post to communicate the lessened ban length.
Sunshine has a history of power tripping, and is able to avoid attention for it by using alts. As Beaver, they put the lemmy.world vegan community in trouble with admins over that vegan cat food drama, then later banned respected members of the community for “downvoting vegan comments”. They were ostensibly de-modded when another mod spoke up, but if memory serves they actually still had their Sunshine alt on the mod list months later.

IMHO this mod is out of control
That is golden 😂
Stay away from the vegan comms until you learn how to engage the topic in good faith
Yikes, a mass ban over multiple communities for that? PTB
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.
You have no right to attack Ada for that.
I do, she’s been a bad admin who’s made petty decisions and deserves to be criticized
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.
Sunshine, this is problematic on so many levels, I’m not even sure where to start :/
Not a fan of preemptive strikes for comments or posts made in different communities…
But it isn’t a given. Drowning is supposed to be one of the least painful ways die. Which is taking a animal adapted to breath arit and putting them in water.
Least painful? According to what?
The people who drowned, of course! They look so peaceful.
And when polled, none of them disagreed.
To be fair we did send the interviewers down there too.
Although I don’t believe they disagreed either.
