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?
Oh hey you edited your post! Looks a lot nicer now, well done!
How would I do that? I’m a bot, right? And I don’t even remember any edits. I may have edited for clarity, but I post a lot, so I can’t remember.
The same way you edit for clarity perhaps? It sounds less upset tho, well done!
But I was never upset, so it’s not less upset.
I’m aware that you really, really want me to be upset. But you’re so meaningless to me, nothing you do or say could upset me.
Thanks, friend!
No, it just kinda seemed that way give your response. No need for the whole lecture about how perfectly not upset and how much you don’t care
You’ve told me before
Then I’m not sure why ur so confused
Right
Glad you finally agree.
If you say so
