So I try to make heads or tails of this situation. I got randomly banned from a community where I posted a youtube video showing something from a Convention. Then I wanted to post a question today but realised that I couldn’t since I was banned. That community is sadly the biggest of all Star Citizen communities (the next one would be from lemmy.world)
I took a look at the Mod log and see the following line in it:
So no clean up of violating comments or posts, just a strict out ban.
The community has a pretty standard ruleset:
further, the moderator @[email protected] hasn’t posted anything since a year, so what gives here, or was it some other mod that was able to declare the ban?
This has nothing to do with the community. The modlog shows that you were banned site-wide from lemmy.ml, which is implemented by a ban from each individual community individually (so despite how this says it was done by a “mod”, it was actually an admin):
It is an unwritten rule that you are not allowed to criticize China there. Or Russia. Or anything else that they do not like.
Oh damn now that makes sense. This site wide ban really needs to be conveyed better so I didn’t even thought of making that connection.
To bad that one of the biggest meme community is hosted on .ml
Everyone is better off not using .ml
