I really have no idea why I was banned from those two communities specifically. I don’t think I’ve interacted with any of them (apart from reading/voting) for weeks. It’s not an instance ban.

If there is a better place to post this, please tell me.

EDIT:

I posted a link that was falsely flagged as malicious, have been unbanned! See comments for more details!

    • Hi,
      You were indeed site banned from SJW about 7 hours ago, which has now been reverted.
      Sorry about that.
      We manually review the stuff the automod does, but sometimes it can take a bit until we get to it.

      And yes that domain was used by SEO spam bots. I’ll tweak it to be less harsh for this particular one.

      Peace ✌️

      PS: Lemmy currently issues community bans whenever a site ban happens, which is somewhat confusing and is often subject of discussion here because people think they were community banned.

        I see … well, that was totally random then. It was just the first kind of useful article I could find regarding that topic and I didn’t think anything else off it.

        Thanks for your help!
