Yeah I post a lot, but… I have no idea what I did?

I try to post a diverse range of interesting articles and take the time to quote relevant parts to contextualize my posts and I enjoy many Lemmy.World communities, what gives?

I can’t find any messages explaining why or anything.

I can’t even ask anyone there now can I right?

    since this post wasn’t to a LW community the removal didn’t federate. to see the full picture of our automod actions you have to look at the modlog at the source instance.

    the post you created that was removed here was linking to a domain that has been massively spammed by bots in the past, which is why it’s in our automod blacklist.

    as others already pointed out, you’ve been unbanned already when we saw the automod notification. you can also find contact in our instance sidebar:

    i don’t have any evidence whether this domain has been spammed on behalf of the website owners, or whether this was a third party trying to frame them, but since there were no or almost no legitimate links to this domain before the spam bots i’m inclined to believe that this is a very shady website that should be avoided in any case.

      Thank you for the explanation, I genuinely appreciate it!

      Do you mean I accidentally linked to a shady domain that has spammed others? Or I looked to an algorithm like I was participating in a mass spam event linking to a target “victim” website? Sorry the wording just has me a bit confused.

      edit ah, the former right?
