But you posted?

I'm banned from hexbear, and also I don't know what I'm doing

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Depends, what does the modlog say for why you were banned?

Name and shame that mod

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 hours ago

Yeah the mod is an A grade dick. Mods are at times power mad, and this is a case in point. Anyone can see that's not what you were saying.

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you, had no idea this was a thing

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago

Ofc! It's called the modlog, and it's usually accessible via the footer of every instance, or by appending /modlog to an instance's URL, e.g. https://hexbear.net/modlog

from what?

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 0 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Hexbear

Lol, they did you a favour. It’s the only instance I ban.

[–] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Lol

Edit: btw OP, I'm laughing because getting banned from hexbear is very easy to do, and getting unbanned from hexbear is very much not easy to do. It's kinda their whole thing

Not advocating this, but: on the fediverse there is almost no way to tell you are evading a ban by creating a new account if you do it on another instance.

[–] python@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think your ban reason leaves a lot of room for that..

To be fair, what Wes said was just plain fact- there's an important distinction between someone with paedophilia and a child molester. But hexbears aren't a fan of facts or other people's feelings, so

[–] Wes4Humanity@lemm.ee 2 points 8 hours ago

Lol... Thank you

I mean... The prompt was "what's your most unpopular opinion" ffs

But thanks for finding that for me... Had no idea I could even see why they banned me... Although I assumed it was that
