Oh, my bad. Carry on then.

Didn’t see that.

Someone reported you, most likely and Reddit almost certainly just uses AI to check these things so I doubt even AI knows why it banned you.

Also I think this community is for unjust bans on the Fediverse, not Reddit bans.

I have no idea, I’m not familiar with lemmy.ml or the systems on lemmy to do this.

That’s up to them. You would have to appeal.

No, that looks like an admin ban from the instance. You’re banned from lemmy.ml entirely.

When you get instance banned, the modlog will simply show bans from communities you’ve posted in from that instance. If you try to post to a lemmy.ml community now, it won’t federate out. It’s actually a really broken system that can cause problems.

It’s interesting because deleted comments do turn up in search results on Lemmy, it’s just clicking on them goes nowhere. I always thought that was weird.

By the way I’m pretty sure Reddit is going to change how it handles deleted threads at some point.

It will more resemble the Fediverse in that a removal (mods or users) glasses it entirely.

So for instance, it’s okay to remove an off-topic post if no-one responds to it? But wrong if someone does?

I wouldn’t say that piracy is a uniformly prohibited topic.

It depends?

If someone posts a completely off-topic post in [email protected], I’ll remove it.

If a comment chain in a television post relevant to the communities focus organically develops between some users that isn’t television related, I won’t remove it.

What about off-topic content?

Okay, forget ‘right’. Are there ever situations where you believe it is justifiable for community owners or instance administrators to remove posts and comments?

Okay, so?

Let’s upgrade this a bit. Forget community moderators. Should an instance administrator have the right to remove content from the server they host and pay for?

If 5 people were in my house and having a conversation, and it was late, I would ask them to leave regardless of how much of a good time they’re having discussing whatever they are discussing.

It’s impossible to give a yes/no answer to such a vague hypothetical. A thread where people are happily chatting amongst themselves could be completely irrelevant to the community and thus justifiably removed.

To be fair, I wasn’t intimating there that you were - it’s just people can’t really comment without the thread. And I did consider having a look but you have 3,000+ comments.

Well without having a link to that thread, we’d have to guess.

Individuals might push for that or want that to happen, but it only matters what actual developers or instance owners say.

That’s literally impossible.

Some of them did interact on the fediverse (although not on television). The ones with no posting/comment activity? No idea.

The point is that people really do behave like this.
