I posted a good faith post about the angry posts coming out of WomensStuff, knowing I was breaking the community's rules but it was a meta discussion about that rule itself. I guess I wasn't going to be shocked to be banned there, but again, this was a good faith post that wasn't trolling. Lots of men were chiming in about the subject itself.
I wake up to find I've been banned across multiple communities and servers, because the mods have updated to say, "My blood pressure too high rn."
Is this was Lemmy actually is? Worse than Reddit because the rules are "fuzzy" and every mod can do whatever they want, because they're having a bad day?
I told them their "MEN DON'T POST HERE" posts on the frontpage are hostile, which is the reaction they got from a half dozen folks who were talking about the subject. I talked about my experience as a gay man, wanting more community here on Lemmy, but that I wouldn't start communities or threads saying "NO STRAIGHT PEOPLE POST HERE" to do it. And I pointed out their community has decided there are only two ways to deal with it.
I get that I broke their rule, and I can be banned there for that - but they didn't ban me for being a man, they banned me for hurting their feelings.
And now I can't use LGBTQ and Trans communities as a result. OK, fuck turtlesareneat, he shouldn't be allowed in queer communities cause he hurt a mod's feelings.
