Comment on Lemmy's gaining popularity, so I thought new people should see this.

  On the other hand, I’ve blocked both those instances months ago and it’s been great.

  Strangely I did notice I got banned from a blahaj community like a week ago despite not commenting there for at least 6 months, maybe ever?

  Which is kind of the whole point of me blocking them

  Both have mods/admins that are very very opinionated about things. And they tend to refuse to let things go (much like OP or you making that sub)

  So if they see something they dont agree with, they’ll pre-emptively ban an account, because, and this is doubly important right here:

  It’s trolls feeding trolls drama in a big loop

  You making that sub, OP making this post…

  All you’re doing is encouraging them

  Can you really not understand?

  I’ll try and remember to come back and check if you respond, but I don’t get notifications from instances I’ve blocked.

    You were banned in blahaj.zone for your comment on Chess: Image

    They take the whole trans women allowed/not-allowed in sports thing very serious there, and I agree with them mostly. The sports thing is a dog-whistle transphobes use because it sounds reasonable even though it really isn’t. It is especially unreasonable in a game like Chess (which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports). It’s likely they reacted way too harshly, outright permanent instance bans over something small like that are very extreme, a warning would’ve probably been the best thing to do, maybe a temp ban at most.

      Weird, maybe because I looked at world’s modlog and not theirs like you seem to have done.

      I clicked on the link, it was a comment from literally a year ago lol.

      I blocked the mod of that sub about a week ago, so they likely went and saw my last comment there and banned me for it.

      Like I said tho, I’m perfectly fine with it. I blocked their whole instance a long time ago, I think it might have actually been that thread that valued me in it wasn’t worth ever going there again.

      Thanks for finding that tho! I’ll remember to check an instance’s own modlog in the future for more details.

        Yeah I saw it on their modlog. It’s very useful to check the modlogs of remote servers, especially since admin comments removals and site-bans for remote users don’t federate in the modlog.

        Nah, I was explaining how the only way to get better at chess is to play better people, and there’s no reason for any classes based around gender. And the explanation for difference in skill, is simply that the best men refused to play women, so they never improved. The first female grand master was only that good because her dad was crazy good and made her and her sister play him constantly.

        You need the experience of high level play to be able to play at a high level, and any gender divide in division just prolongs that. So I was arguing against any segregation at all.

        I guess it was likely a miscommunication or misunderstanding. They probably thought you meant something different than what you actually meant.
