In case the author of that bot ever reads this, can you just perma-ban me from any community that you are associated with? I don't want to be constantly dropping in and out of all sorts of communities I've literally never heard of based on one comment here or there that I made, or didn't make, or whatever. And I'd like to preserve the ability of the modlog to actually be functional, e.g. it currently shows (on my instance) that I've never been banned from any community ever, though a few extra entries in it won't be too damaging.

To everyone else, it sure would be nice if such practices were opt-in rather than have to go to great lengths (like DM a mod) to be able to opt-out. e.g., why not have an application process for people who want to subscribe, and then kick them out whenever they don't meet the criteria? This mass-banning of a significant fraction of the entire Fediverse (they admit that at one point they banned 3%, and iirc this was before more than doubling, almost tripling the score threshold to avoid that fate) just screams of self-important leeches who care about avoiding doing any manual efforts to moderate their community, at the expense of everyone else that they have decided to involve. Notably unwillingly bc nobody here seems to have offered CONSENT to be part of these experiments in artificial unintelligence.

If Trump was on Lemmy, this is exactly the type of thing he'd do. First divide everyone up into who is loyal to his brand or not, and second deny anyone the right to speak who does not fall into the former category. Which is... urg, fine, but don't pollute my ability to read my own modlog for the entire Fediverse in the process!!
