Instance is midwest.social. Not a solitary clue who the admin was who did it.

A friend was wondering why they hadn’t seen my posts and figured I’d been banned from lemmy.world or just left in general. I went to his instance and saw that in the modlog.

Not a damn clue as to why. There are no post removals, no comment removals, no temp bans and I never got any messages from any of the admins about anything that I did. Just one day, they randomly banned me for racism without rhyme nor reason. I have literally nothing that I can point towards and say “This is the reason why” because they never bothered to do anything other than ban me.

I am many things. I am an asshole, I’m a vindictive bitch, I’m a petty prick, I’m often antagonistic, I’m also a whiny bitch. But racist?

Edit:

Well okay then

    I’m not 100% what is going on with ban notifications, but you will get some. Mostly from communities but not all. I think it’s depending on which instance has implemented that AutoMod function. But none of them tell you that you’ve been banned from another instance. Hell, it doesn’t even show it in my modlog. I had to go to midwest.social and manually search their modlog for myself and THEN see that I was banned. I’m sure I’ve probably got that on a few other instances.

    I abhor racism. I was raised in an exceptionally racist household. I cannot say that I never said the N-word because I did. A lot. But growing up in a hateful echo chamber in a small town on a small island when everyone is so white they sunburn at night? You never see anything to break that mold. First person I met who wasn’t white was a Native dude at school when I was like 10ish. He was great, invited me over to his place and I went. Met his family. Every single thing I had been told was a complete lie. Was at that point I started second guessing everything that I was ever taught by my shithole parents. I was furious. I’m still furious. Well over 2/3rd of my life later and I’m incredibly furious. I am not okay with being used, especially against people for no reason. Like hell am I going to try and continue that for other people.

    Then there’s the fact that I’m gay and have a “vested interest” if you want to put it that way because racism isn’t that different from homophobia in how insanely fucking stupid the entire thing is.

    But more than anything? It’s just a fucked up way to be. I’m a die hard Trekkie. If I watched that show and came away going “Racism is okay!” then I need to be shot.

      I’ve removed two posts in the one comm im a mod of (that isn’t just a personal comm) and both times i responded in the post explaining why it’s deleted, before removing the post. That’s the only way I know of that will alert a person they’ve been moderated.

      I’ve never gotten a notification for anything of mine that’s been removed or banned.

        It is heavily dependant on the instance and whether they have that set up. Lemmy.world will send notices but not all instances do. I don’t think lemmy.world will send a notification saying you’ve been banned from the instance though, I could be wrong

          Lemmy.world will send notices but not all instances do.

          Must be recent, when I was banned they didn’t give me a notice. They eventually wrote an entire post about it, but never let me know directly.
