I just got permanently banned from a community for making a single harmless remark on a single post that was right there in the main feed. It’s not a community I’m super active in so it’s not like devastating, but it is annoying

If your precious little community is full of so many delicate sensitive people who can’t even be reminded that another viewpoint even exists, then you should really protect them by defederating and having everyone join your private website

The mod has literally removed like 75% of the comments and banned everyone lol

I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t have time to read every rule for every community that pops up when I’m in view all

    I have no obsession with the community. It just draws attention when people start getting bans for “rule violations” they didn’t commit.

      Rules can be as strict as the mods want them to be as long as they do not break the instance rules

        I agree.

        If they want the rule to be “No downvoting Beaver” then they should make the rule “No downvoting Beaver” and stop banning people for Rule 5 violations they didn’t commit.
