Banned? (lemmy.ca)

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?

5 months ago mod Banned n7gifmdn from the community Political Memes@lemmy.world

reason: spammer

Looks like you made some duplicate posts in !politicalmemes@lemmy.world 5 months ago. Could ask the mods to un-ban you in a private message. Don't see anything related to !news@lemmy.world though.

I sent a DM to one of the mods of !politicalmemes@lemmy.world 9 days ago. So far, I haven't seen a response. Is there a better way to request things from mods of a community?

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?

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yep!!! That worked! :)

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] cyborganism@piefed.ca 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Got it. Thank you.

[–] Shadow@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago

I've gotten you out of libreculture + fucktheusa now too.

[–] n7gifmdn@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 month ago

I didn't realize Summit was compatible with piefed.
