Should be pretty easy to figure out the mod responsible, especially since it’s across multiple instances.
Either way, I’m really not a fan of mods just banning someone from every single comm they mod. If you want to be an admin, make your own instance please.
And is honestly something instance admins should be able to crack down on.
It’s easy enough to defederate from instances that are toxic, but it’s not so easy to do the same for individual communities that are mass owned by one or two people who abuse their power.
Someone else already figured it out.
It’s kinda a convoluted way to troll people I guess… Meta trolling? Preemptive trolling?
Trying to develop software for crowds of people is hard (I’m working on a decentralized, zero mod, anonymous app right now… In theory but I have problems).
There’s always someone finding a loophole to abuse people with. My first instinct was: don’t let mods ban people from comms they’ve never interacted with before, but then there are real trolls just trying to harass people on as many places as possible… So it makes sense to get ahead of them.
I guess it’s up to the admins to remove the account? But they can just create a new account, another 20 comms, and then spam people’s mod logs.
I suppose it’s growing pains of lemmy; gotta make it easy in order to grow, but then it’s too easy.
My solution is: make it harder to create a community for new users.
Or maybe, if a user has never interacted with w community, don’t put it in their mod log when they’ve been banned?
Or at least make them justify the ban so there’s some record of exactly how they’re making stuff up.
My only guess is that about a month before I got banned for saying, (and I am sorry and I really am not trying to hurt anyone and I’m not invalidating anyone’s existence)
Is that “nonbinary” is not the most accurate term for people because it, seems to me, to imply that gender is binary. The offensive part is because I think it’s popular because the concept of “binary” is popular… (I’m a programmer, I love binary).
It’s not like, a big deal to me or anything, I just think there’s a better term out there or waiting to be made. non-gendered or something makes more sense but doesn’t sound as cool…
I stated my opinion indelicatly and I get why my post was removed… But not being called transphobic or banned from that com for life because I questioned the temporary ban, and then a month later 20 more comms like I’m a Nazi just trying to harass people or something.
I have room for improvement and can be nicer (less “toxic”) but just silencing people forever is pretty common with, let’s say politicized topics, and counterproductive.

It does not imply that. If it did, it would defeat itself, because there is no place for nonbinary in binary. It implies that a slice of gender can be seen as binary (Men and Women), but there is more to it.
Ok, I’m not trying to assert that really, just guessing why…
It seems like they’re just an anti-trans troll creating a bunch of alt accounts calling their mod account (DraconicNEO) an anti trans troll in order to be confusing and chaotic and pretend like they’re the joker or something…
It’s impressive how obsessed they are I guess.

It’s very “reddit like” abuse of power behavior.
