MODERATORS
 

-Hello, I'd like to know if anything can be done about an unjustified ban in the Digital Art community. I shared my art for months, and it didn't break any community rules, but I was recently banned under the pretext of posting "furry" content. However, my art is based on fantasy beings like beasts, yokai, and kemonomimi—nothing that falls under the furry category. I won't use external apps to communicate with the community moderator (I barely know how to use Lemmy and I'm not interested in downloading anything external, and English isn't my language), so I left a comment on a post, but she hasn't responded or lifted my unfair ban.

To dispel further confusion, here's an example of yokai and kemono: purely human form with small animal features like horns, ears, a tail, and claws. Not furry, which is an animal in body and mind, being completely covered in fur, scales, feathers, or anything but human skin. Beasts are merely normal or mythical animals.
