My ban has been lifted now. Are you able to tell me how to find the modlog? I’d like to see what they actually banned me for. There was a point where I said I thought Russia should be broken up and given to it’s neighbors and they started responding by claiming I wanted nuclear war and posting pictures of Hitler. It was pretty over the top. I am wondering if that was what got me the ban. When I log in to my ml account I can’t find anything, no message or anything, that says what the ban was for.
I’m sure I remembered it being easier, but basically if you access the Lemmy instance in question via a browser rather than an app (might work on apps too but not mine), there’s a modlog link at the bottom of the page which shows you the mod activity generally, and then on that page you can filter by user and type the name of the user who’s modlog you’d like to see.
Thanks! It says I broke rule 1: “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.” However I don’t see where I did that. Re-reading all the comments I don’t say anything like any of those.
Hmm yeh that’s definitely a pressure point issue there. I guess I do self-censor somewhat in that I know the type of reception that can be expected on that topic if not following the orthodoxy so unless I’m prepared to vigorously defend something I have to say on it, then I generally don’t say much on it, wouldn’t want to go in half-cocked or try to persuade any one of anything unless I was pretty sure it was a new insightful take that might be able to ride above the fray and bridge some fundamental disagreements.
From my perspective, it’s difficult to say how your comments exactly contravene this rule 1 as stated directly. But then you did go ahead and suggest Russia should be wiped off the map as part of your defence of why it isn’t reasonable to use corruption as a pretext to wipe another country off the map. I think suggesting that as a fait acompli conclusion and the only option was bound to raise a few eyebrows and while it doesn’t neatly explicitly fit the categories mentioned in rule 1, I guess one could say that that suggestion dances around a mixture of 3 of them. Maybe someone was trying to shoehorn the statement in to one of the existing rules as pretext.
Russia being wiped from the map doesn’t mean you kill all the people it just is the country and as I said it should be split up. I think there’s a difference between internal corruption and invading another country. I believe I was banned because someone simply didn’t agree with me and they could have simply just not responded and thumbs down if they didnt like what I said. But whatever though, the person that originally posted just wanted to know what was up with them and I was letting them know.
Edit: I have been on .ml since the Reddit evacuation/diaspora years ago. I have never been banned until just recently. Once I said mental retardation. It wasn’t directed at any particular person I wasn’t calling anyone specific a name however I understand that people consider that improper and I probably shouldn’t have said it. I’ll take it. This most recent one I think is a little ridiculous and I previously had not understood why people got so bent out of shape about the instance. Different folks different beliefs etc. At this point I’m going to abandon that instance though because I can’t voice an opinion. So just going to move on

If someone sees where I did it I will admit that I was wrong. I’m not above admitting I’m wrong, but I don’t see it.
