I discovered that I was banned from !ukraine@sopuli.xyz for being a “known detriment to the community,” despite never having posted there or even knowing about the community.
A similar situation occurred with !PleasantPolitics@slrpnk.net. This community uses a bot that bans people based on their downvote history, regardless of whether they’ve actually visited the community.
This policy from !PleasantPolitics@slrpnk.net actually caused me some trouble. After moving to a new instance, I stumbled upon this community and decided to post there. The owner then initiated a thread to have me banned across the federation for “ban evasion,” even though I was unaware of any prior ban and had only just learned of the community.
This owner has implemented a bot that automatically bans individuals, only to potentially unban them depending on their upvote/downvote ratio, without considering their actual involvement in the community.
As you might guess, his moderation log is a constant stream of bans, which is quite amusing.
While I’m not usually one for pettiness, I think I would like to return the favor to those mods and pre-ban them from my communities.
However, I’m not sure how to go about doing this. Any tips?
Hey, I know them! They’re quite the oddball
To each their own. Some people just like drama
But just the other day, you mentioned that I was a bot and not even human. So…
Ye, you do act quite goofy. So much so I wouldn’t be surprised if you were a bot. Or maybe just an edgy 14yo
So I’m a bot or a edgy 14-yr old now?
Well, except for the fact that I’m retired, have my own house and land, I have children older than you, and the fact that I’m old enough to have fucked your grandma when she was still hot; let’s go with the edgy teen option!
You keep crying, I’ll keep laughing.
Thanks, friend!
If you say so
