I’m beginning to see that. I’ve found a few other science communities in other instances that I think will work better in my feed.

They have not replied. At this point I think they don’t intend to reply.

Thank you for that clarification. I’m surprised, but then I suppose there really isn’t much else they can do about vote bots and brigades. A warning would have been nice, but given that Lemmy is starting to show evidence of the kind of bots that are killing reddit (and all social media), I can understand their position.

I don’t have a screenshot of comment or post that caused the ban, because I haven’t commented or posted anything whatsoever in more than six months.

Mod has been very active over the last 24 hours but hasn’t responded to me.

I hope you’re right, but my cynicism has doubts.
