Modlog, which includes a site ban—something only admins can do.
The community bans also include communities that aren’t moderated by any instance admins, and some that are only moderated by a single person who likely isn’t aware of actions taken under their community’s name.
So does anyone know good leftist instances that aren’t predominantly cantankerous tankies? Besides slrpnk, those guys seem cool.
Tankies want to talk a bunch of big shit. Then when you shut them down with a single comment they cry like babies and run for the mod buttons.
This post is bait guys. Are we really just going to let this be our community.
brigading ensues

FYI, any site bans will also automatically generate community bans for all local communities that user has ever interacted with.
It’s simply the current behavior for site bans and not an admin going through communities to ban that user.
That doesn’t mean the site ban is legitimate, just that the community-bans are inherent to any site-bans.That’s kind of a weird way of doing it, but good to know thanks!
But noooo lemmy.ml is not a problem…
Blocking that instance improved my Lemmy experience dramatically.
Socialism to authoritarianism in 3… 2… 1…
They seem to be banning anything anti Russia just based on your modlog, buy you also have a hard time following their rule2: be nice. So I can kinda see where they are comming from as well.
Oh, I wasn’t the one who was banned. I’m here to call out questionable use of moderation powers by the lemmy.ml admins. If the admin felt that the user violated instance rules, the recourse was to issue a site ban—which they did. Throwing in 20 community bans after that for the same time frame is petty and unnecessary.
My bad. Iäm not saying that lemmy.ml is acting in bad faith, their Rule 2 looks very much like a catch-all for anything they do not like. But the user in question could have used better wording.
20 community bans is indeed not warranted.
