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
Ahh, ok, I get ya now. That’s true. But you can’t post to a place you’ve been banned, so it wouldn’t remain shadow-banned in the common use of the term. You’d find out then.
To your point, silent banning happens for sure. Has happened to me a lot.
