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 vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, 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.
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.
thats why lemmy needs to adopt a crowd sourced, prestige based moderation system and get rid of individual mods
Yeah no, this would not work well. Minorities often experience being downvoted in great number and out-ratioed by those that have no understanding of what they go through (your regular lemmy user). It would just result in the ultimate echo chamber where largely only liberal white cishets have anything to say. At least as things are now queers can have a queer instance and feel safe there, even if things are not ideal.
Sorry no, it's clear no one here is capable of rational thought. Maybe consider researching what a prestige based moderating system is.
Tell us rather than insult us? There's nothing useful on the first page of results if I search for "prestige based moderating system" in duckduckgo.
Why shouldn't I insult you?
Literally every idea I've ever shared on lemmy that wasn't 100% mainstream accepted resulted in hours to days of harassment and comment stalking with zero mod support. None of you want to expand your understanding of anything, you just want your biases confirmed.
You can check my fucking post history if you think I'm lying.
You get what you give, and that's a lot of anger and vitriol. People would be a lot more willing to listen to you if you didn't constantly get upset and rage at everybody and pretend like you're above everyone else. If it smells like shit everwhere you go, check your shoe.
Oh so what you're saying is reddit isn't getting fascist, I'M the fascist.
Clever
or no, the opposite
No, I didn't say anything like that all. Why are you putting words in my mouth?
I literally fucking quoted your earlier post.
I'm so done with lemmy
I said nothing about Reddit, nor fascists, dummy. I was talking about you here on Lemmy, where you constantly fly off the handle and make a fool out of yourself while complaining about how everyone else is the problem.
My point being, perhaps it's not everyone else that's the problem, but instead you and your behaviour. You choose to be an angry, miserable person, and then lash out at everyone regardless of whether or not they were respectful towards you.
Brah, I was all for giving you the benefit of the doubt till you said this. Lighten up.
