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
Ooooh. This was in that era when being pro-Israelian or pro-Palestinian meant everyone not of your view was racist. All the extremies were clambering to bag that rhetoric for themselves. Racism is obviously a fntastic card to have in the narcissists’ deck, but it needs to stick to something first so in those opening rounds everything from anyone on any side is “racism”.
And let’s be honest; the odds of a moderator being a narcissist is higher than the normals
It is not that much different now, protesting genocide is apparently “antisemitic” according to some. I have been banned by some tool not a long time ago for exposing a genocide apologist.
You can get technical and point out that Palestinians are obviously a Senetic culture too. Basically most of what we now know as the Middle East is/was.
When Israel got the benefit of the doubt, I guess some progress has been made.
Also, if this is true, it supports my broader thesis that modding is largely a censorship exercise.
