  • It was designed to be banned.

    And that’s the issue.

    From a new account, with no discussion history on the topic that I could find, with no previously removed posts, it looked inflammatory, and it was, deliberately so. So you got a short term ban.

    If you’d been a long term user, or had a posting history that made it clear you were trying to demonstrate a point, I’d have left your account alone. But as it was, I couldn’t tell you apart from a troll. I wasn’t certain, which is why it wasn’t permanent.


  • If I took issue with what you were saying, it would have been a permanent ban.

    I took issue with how you said it, which is to say, you started a new “conversation” out of the blue, framed in a way designed to start an argument. And even that wouldn’t have been enough to get me involved, except that you don’t have a history of posting on this topic, your account is new, and I’ve previously removed a comment of yours for arguing with a femboy about what kind of memes he’s allowed to post.

    tl;dr your account has a bunch of red flags, and this post was one of them. So you got a temp ban.




  • It depends on where the community is hosted.

    If the community is a blahaj based community, then when we defederate, we stop sending community updates to their instance, and we don’t accept any updates from people on that instance, so their posts to the community never make it to us.

    Which is to say, it is technically possible for folks on the defederated community to post and reply to old stuff in the community that existed before defederation, but even then, it won’t reach anyone else. It will just stay on the defederated instance. And they will not get new content, so they aren’t secretly replying and interacting to current conversations.

    If the community is not based on blahaj, and the instance we have defederated from isn’t defederated from the instance that hosts the community, then basically, you need to bring on other mods/alts from the instance that hosts the community.


  • Feddit.uk was defederated because they did not address transphobia on their instance and stopped responding when I asked for clarification of how they will handle similar incidents in the future in light of the transphobic legislation introduced in the UK. If it becomes clear they are acting on transphobia, we will refederate.

    lemmy.ml does act on transphobia and despite their admins comments in DM, I have seen no indication that transphobic posts are allowed to remain on their instance from admins or users. If it becomes clear they’re not acting on transphobia, we will defederate. Either way, Nutomic will remain banned.

    Which is to say, neither scenario is really contingent on the actions of an individual, rather they’re contingent on how the admins respond to transphobia.
