I just got banned from linux@lemmy.ml, which seems to be the biggest Linux community out there.

For context, it was about the recent Vaxerski incident, where I shared my personal opinion about the whole gender stuff. I wasn’t even trying to be hurtful against anyone, just shared my 2 cents in an already ongoing conversation.

Sure, ine might not agree with my opinion, and I don’t agree with others, and this is totally normal. But at least we should be able to have sane and respectful conversations where no one is insulting each other, or anyone else… without having a mod intervening into the conversation

So to all the mods out there: Your personal opinion does not give you the right to delete comments and block users, just because their opinions don’t align with yours!

    Well, my @programming.dev account got banned!

    I guess, I’ll just have to shut up, and just keep posting memes. 🤷🏻

      Thanks for telling on yourself so I can block this account too. Please continue replying with any more alts you have so I don’t miss any.

          Hi adONis,
          a “block” is not a “ban”. e.i. : if I have account ABC and from that ABC account I block user 123 then, from ABC I cannot read anything posted by 123 but I would be able to read 123’s posts from my other accounts (and so would anybody else).

            oh ok, I thought the previous OP was some kind of mod on one of the instances I had signed up for.

            thx for clarifying 👍

        I go by PermanentBoner@lemmynsfw too … and I’m not even joking.

        So feel free 😂
