Was banned on a totally different instance and community despite never commenting in the community.

I suspect I was banned for questioning the narrative in this thread yesterday:

I am a trans person and have no issue with trans people expressing who they are. The mods and admins of blahaj frequently use Gatekeeping as a false umbrella ban for any user they want to get rid of. This is also discussed in yesterday’s thread by some users.

The owners of that 196 space have proven they are unable to let sleeping dogs lie and are hellbent on tearing down all other instances in a tribal war, and have decided to start lurking in other spaces and preemptively banning people like reddit mods.

This is not fair moderation practices, it’s a petty tit for tat because abuse in their community was called out yesterday.

    Tbh, this one is difficult to make a good PTB response about.

    The closest I can get is it might be YDI, because your user history does show a proclivity to the kind of arguments that blahaj regularly uses as the criteria.

    But, it could be PTB instead, since your user history is also free of actual gatekeeping comments, on this account.

    But you do mention that this account is one of at least two, with the intent of keeping another account specifically for blahaj that you want to protect. If that’s the case, we have no way of knowing what you’ve said where that could be a legit violation.

    Now, the screen shots provided don’t show you actually violating the rules, so, it’s a qualified PTB where there’s a possibility that you did and I just can’t see it. If that’s the case, I’d reserve the ability to change my mind.

    I will say though, so far everyone that’s posted about this has ended up having violated that rule and it just wasn’t visible immediately. It’s a controversial rule for sure, and preemptive bans even moreso.

    Now with that out of the way, you did ask some questions about neopronouns that I never saw get answered. I will not dive into that on this thread because that’s not what this community is for.

    However, having had some recent exploration about neopronouns, xenopronouns and related issues, if you shoot me a DM or make a post in a community that is for asking questions about difficult subjects, I’ll gladly share what I’ve found regarding what those things actually mean, and would likely be willing to briefly and civilly discuss my opinion on the matter. But I don’t let internet arguments go very far, so remember that I won’t be debating the issue, just explaining what I’ve learned and my opinion, so if it gets past the point where it’s two folks having a chill conversation, I’m out. And, to repeat, I won’t do that here, this isn’t the community for that
