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.

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.

    The ban across multiple communities is not intentional. I just meant to ban them from !vegan@lemmy.dbzer0.com. 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..

    If the posts in other communities show an intent to cause disruption for a specific topic, they do make sense. As in they take the initiative to cause disruption, posting bacon pics in a vegan or vegetarian community, going into an LGBTQ+ space to spread homophobic or other hateful messaging.

    Banning because they made a joke in some other unrelated sub that could just be sarcasm? That is just fishing for users to ban.

    I'd rather have the ability to flag these potentially disruptive users and have their posts being held up in a moderation queue for those communities.

    That way if they behave, they can participate, if not they at least the posts / comments were filtered away and didn't reach the entire userbase, minimizing harm while giving them the benefit of the doubt.

    I think that would be good for people who say things that mods speculate are signs of being malicious, like saying that eating meat is fine in some other random community being assumed to mean the person can't handle themselves in a vegetarian or vegan community, but aren't completely sure.

    I think meat eating is fine. I also don't go into vegan or vegetarian communities to shit on their approach, but I do visit them for the recopies! Putting me in a filter is more work for them compared to banning me, so I don't think that mods would take advantage of that feature if their assumption is malicious behavior.
