From what I’ve been told there is a rift between mods of the community.
I had the same issue as you and contacted the mod team no understand how I violated rule 5. One of the mods confirmed I hadn’t violated rule 5 and unbanned me. I was then immediately rebanned again by the original mod.
There was another conversation about it on /c/unpopularopinion and it looks like people were getting banned simply for downvoting one of the mods.
I'm kinda dumbfounded. I've only posted (or commented) once in the past nine days. The one that happened to be at a similar time was this comedy one on a completely different Community on a different instance for a goofy anime question. Did... did I really just get banned from talking to vegans for... not liking anime?
This might be peak stupid internet if so.
My only comment in the community was a suggestion that someone reformat their post to make it more legible ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I totally get what you’re feeling.
I hope this is not in poor taste, but it seemed to fit? :-P
One can only hope that mismanaged communities will be outgrown by better ones when enough people simply get together somewhere else.
Banning your good faith readers is a fast path to irrelevancy.
Ah yes, fair and balanced
I’m sure there’s more to it. I’m just sharing what I know.
