Specifically a made up and false reason. None of what was banned in those screenshots were remotely homophobic. This particular mod is extremely ban happy and has resorted to using BS reasons to report those he doesn’t like.
I realize they’re allowed to ban people from their own communities, but shouldn’t their listed reasons at least be accurate?
But you have to remember here that there is no pre screening of mental and emotional acuity to be a moderate.
Nor are their behaviors held to account because most admins do the same.
A moderator acting out of personal dislike undermines the very purpose of a healthy online community: fostering open discussion, collaboration, and a sense of belonging
Yeah, I really don’t give a shit that I got banned, it just seems fucked up you can list any reason you want and it shows up in the mod log. I can ban you and list racism, posting revenge porn, supporting animal abuse or whatever I want and it’s there.

There may not be a lemmy rule against it, but damaging someone's reputation with false accusations is libel.
