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.
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
Crowd sourced moderation squashes small voices, squashes unpopular voices. It's not a good solution
it also wouldn't work because instances do occasionally need to remove content to comply with law enforcement
So what you're saying is you don't understand what prestige based moderation is? Ok. And no I'm not wasting my time educating your intellectually dishonest ass
You do seem to be putting a lot of effort into telling people they don't know what you're talking about rather than telling people what you're talking about
And calling me a liar? I made it clear which part of your comment I was addressing.
I have spent years trying to be a contributor on the internet, adding my perspective and understanding.
And never once has it been worth it
Every time people like you descend to mock and jeer and deliberately misunderstand, and hardly ever do the mods do anything but work against me.
For a few weeks I thought lemmy would be different, but no you guys are actually worse and even more echo chambered.
I'm glad you're trying and I hope you get past your anger
