Was recently banned from a whole bunch of DB0 communities for, as best as I can gather, downvoting once when I viewed by All (potentially accidentally while scrolling).
Important notes:
- I don't use scripts.
- I don't mass-downvote Communities. If I see a post I generally don't like when browsing All, I may downvote one post, block the Community and move on.
- Some of the communities I was banned from don't have any posts in them so I wouldn't have been able to downvote anything.
- Of all of these Communities, in my history I downvoted one post in one of them. Voting in this manner is not vote manipulation. It's quite literally a feature of the platform and as a mod of another Community, I would consider it pretty good etiquette.
- One of my bans reads "Appeal Granted, not a brigading member" but I'm still banned.
- I don't troll.
WTF is going on here?
EDIT - Updated Info from the conversation below: In the initial image, you can see two "ban waves."
The 10 bans three months ago stem from a single downvote in one Community. It was @[email protected] See here: https://discuss.tchncs.de/post/34853477
I was called out by name for a single downvote and culled from a score of Communities I did not participate in by them.
The other bans from two months ago are from four total downvotes over a 10-month timeframe in one Community.
I have also stated in this thread that I don't have issues with AI-gen images, but there are shoddy ones and well-done ones.
EDIT 2: Now unbanned from the ten Communities listed as "3 months ago" in my initial image, but have been banned from three more because of this thread with the reason given being "self-proclaimed anti-AI brigader" which are two things I didn't claim to be. God dammit Lemmy...
Don't use ableist language in a community where both of the mods are neurodiverse.
It's annoying that the amount the general public cares about schizophrenic people is often less than they care about changing the words they speak.
sidenotes - CW: R-slur, used non-casually
This is common with a lot of disability-related terms, I expect this usage to decrease over time similar to how usage of 'retard' has.I am unsure whether ['schizophrenic people' or 'people with schizophrenia'] is correct here, I am going based off of what I have heard about ['autistic people' vs 'people with autism'] as I could not find relevant information online.
Have you considered perhaps not just saying the r-slur.
EDIT: see below comment
I don't say that either.
You... Literally said it in your post. Big fucking shock to my system.
original comment, see edit first
are you kidding meEDIT: I was confused by her saying 'post': I think she's referring to my usage in the sidenote, which was intended as an example of [slurs towards disabled people that are no longer used], whereas I thought she was saying that I used them casually.
I don't think discussing slurs is harmful to society in the same way that using them directly (as an epithet) is.
Despite this, I understand some people have strongly-negative reactions to seeing them, so I have added a content warning to the section.
Your edit is correct
I dont think its harmful to society, no, but as you say, some people have strong negative reactions to hearing or seeing them. Appreciate you changing it.
