-A few days ago, a moderator on Digital Art banned me for supposedly posting “furry” (anthropomorphic animal) art. My works are based on yokai characters (Japanese mythology), kemonomimi (humans with animal ears and tails), and beasts (normal and mythical animals). Nothing falls into the furry category, which is exclusively for anthropomorphic animals. And it should be clarified that I have been posting in that community for months without any warning or comment about my works. I tried to contact her through comments in another community she moderates (I barely use Lemmy to post, and I’m not going to download external apps to open chats just for this, plus I don’t speak English), but she decided to delete them and not speak to me.
(I won’t get into a discussion about this; if you don’t believe me, just look up the terms mentioned. Labeling everything as furry simply because it has an animal percentage is pure ignorance, and I’m fed up with the topic because I’ve explained and shown it a thousand times to some stubborn people. Please don’t try to convince me to use the word “furry” as something universal, because it’s NOT, and I know what I draw and what I don’t.)
Peep the modlog. Tywele at least says it wasn’t them and they want to be removed as a mod from that comm. Plus this user’s posts have been being removed for 7 months and they just now noticed nearly a month after being banned.
I checked the modlog and must apologize. I should’ve checked it myself before jumping to conclusions.
I already explained how the log works; the modlog is only visible to the moderator. It has nothing to do with the public log, which anyone can see. The moderator already showed the modlog, but that doesn’t excuse her from the fact that she continues to justify the ban, even if she didn’t do it herself. She could remove it or tell the moderator responsible for the ban, and they don’t want to.
But of course, I’m always the one defending myself, the bad guy and the “ignorant one.”
