    Without context, it’s hard to say if it’s a PTB or YDI.

    The problem with people moderating multiple communities is, they can do shit like this. Without more context, it kinda sounds like you said something they didn’t like, so they banned you from all their comms.

    For disclosure and transparency: I started and moderate exactly one comm. I’ve never banned anyone from it. I’d like to think that I never will. Thing is, this isn’t Reddit, and we don’t need to be limiting what people can see and do, lest they simply go elsewhere. We don’t want them to go elsewhere. I’ve had people be downright nasty to me in DMs and even in public replies. I’ll block them if they persist, but I have yet to ban one from my comm. I run a music comm and I believe music should be for everyone. I don’t want to run or moderate a comm where I would want to remove someone’s access to it. I might join such a comm, but running one is not something I wish to do.

        Yeah, it sounds like you don’t have all the information. Someone will have to summon the mod and ask them if they will explain themselves.

      I will say, banning someone doesn’t really stop them from viewing the community; it only prevents them from posting comments. I don’t often ban and usually try to communicate directly with people when I think they’re simply misguided. When I do ban or moderate in general, it’s to protect the community rather than punish any user. I don’t want to expose users to bigots or toxic people that won’t listen, and I put their safety over a single user’s posting privileges.

    Went through your post history and definitely PTB. You haven’t said anything troll like and your views on video games become quite clear, but there’s nothing troll like about it.

      That’s not a dbzer0 thing, that’s a PTB thing. I got the same kind of random bans from some hexbear comms for, I’m pretty sure, leaving some pro-ukraine comments (in other instances). It was a single mod going on a crusade too, I was basically banned from all the comms they modded but not the others on the same instance.
