If I follow these links from Summit correctly I'm banned from news@lemmy.world & politicalmemes@lemmy.world
I don't know why, I'm usually a pretty cool uncontroversial dude.
Any way to find out how I got banned? Or at least verify it's legit?

I got the same problem. A while ago I made a dumb mistake that was misinterpreted and a mod went crazy and banned me from every community with which I ever interacted with this account. Since then, the ban, which was supposed to end back in August, is still in effect in all those communities. I found this out thanks to the Summit app, like yourself.
I had to manually unban myself from the communities that I created and/or moderate. And now I have to message every mod for every community I'm banned and do some kind of walk of shame to beg them all to unban me because of an overzealous mod.
I am very upset about this. I didn't deserve my account to get screwed up like this. I wanted to leave Lemmy to use Piefed instead and I'm stuck.
Here's a list of the communities I'm still banned from after several months.
pcgaming@lemmy.ca
buycanadian@lemmy.ca
privacy@lemmy.ca
libreculture@lemmy.ca
mensliberation@lemmy.ca
canadapolitics@lemmy.ca
fucktheusa@lemmy.ca
montreal@lemmy.ca
politics@lemmy.world
I'm really hoping one of the mods or the admin can pick up on this and fix it. I would really appreciate it.
Maybe @smorks@piefed.ca ? @otter@piefed.ca ? @shadow@lemmy.ca ?
Hmm, lemmy isn't indicating you're banned from pcgaming@lemmy.ca. I just tried banning and then unbanning you from that community, can you see if that helped?
Yep!!! That worked! :)
K I've done the same on montreal, canadapolitics, privacy and buycanadian. Libreculture + fucktheusa my search didn't come up with a post of yours I could do it on. Mensliberation you still have an active community ban so I've left that.
Got it. Thank you.
I've gotten you out of libreculture + fucktheusa now too.
I didn't realize Summit was compatible with piefed.
