Checked my notifications to see this, I’m not even active in those communities.

The reason says ’ Piefed Troll ’ I’m not sure what that could be?

Can someone help me figure out why I was banned? I wasn’t very active in the last week I can’t imagine why I’d be banned, especially from these communities.

    But the most interesting part of this is that these type of comments/ criticisms are downvoted by an army of users who apparently don’t mind totalitarianism in a digital space.

    I feel that’s a bit much. If you feel like you got banned and silenced, nothing stops you from:

    • Not interacting with them
    • Not being on their instance
    • Blocking the mods/admins
    • Spinning up your own instance with better rules

    Mods can be weird, but it’s not totalitarianism. The term uses to describe Hitler and Stalin isn’t when you get a comment removed on the internet. Unless you’re terminally online and think your comment removed on a niche internet forum is on par with the SS bursting into your home on suspicion that you’re Jewish.
