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

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.

lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/3159844

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.
  
  (which your agreement to could be seen as agreement with trans-segrigation in sports).
  
  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.

    …
    
    You think they do an annual review of threads?
    
    It was over a year ago I made the comment, they banned me for it five days ago.
    
    I don’t know man, it’s weird you’re not getting that, but it doesn’t really matter.
    
    I’m sorry if I’m explaining it poorly

    I don’t know, it’s hard to say what actually happened. I will admit that it seems weird but I don’t want to jump to conclusions about how or why they did it, maybe you could post about it on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com to get different opinions on it.
