UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, which is a more reasonable ban. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.
So it seems i’ve gotten a month-long ban in… over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.
Screen cap of comment for posterity:
It’s directly replying to a comment saying they can’t imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it’s satirizing people’s mental gymnastics about fishes’ pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.
It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.
the… scales… of justice are often harsh
But fair when they are gill-ty
Only with de-fin-itive evidence
looks like they’re letting him off the hook tho!
Y’know, concentrating power in the hands of a single person / group defeats the purpose of decentralisation.
I can understand if the damage is limited to communities within a single instance, but when a ban is so far-reaching - across so many instances - it makes me wonder what’s the point of choosing Lemmy over, say, Reddit.
It’s still the same problem again, just with different people in charge - like Bluesky vs Twitter.
lemmy fixes admin abuse, not mod abuse.
Mods can accidentally hit the ban all option on the Tesseract frontend. Accidents do happen.
Distrust me if you want to.
how did OP get banned in servers from so many different instances?
Not every ban is done in good faith like op has rightfully called out.
that is not an answer to the question I asked
That’s quite extreme. PTB.
I meant to just ban them from the vegan community on db0. I will reverse this.
also not justifiable. your bans are ridiculous
I didn’t know PETA modded communities on Lemmy
Yikes, a mass ban over multiple communities for that? PTB
