I was going to comment on a post today, and found out I’d been banned from mop@quokk.au. Apparently it happened awhile ago.

Not much of a reason, no real evidence given. The mod didn’t include a screenshot, link, or even quoted text, so I’m not sure which specific interaction led to this. Basically this is just thought policing. Hilarious considering that the community claims to be:

free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.

Also, even if the accusation is true it doesn’t break any community rules:

There is only one mod of mop@quokk.au, so this isn’t just a vague/general example. @lumpenproletariat@quokk.au is a PTB.

      For what reason, exactly?

      An accusation was made in the ban, but nothing was provided to substantiate it. What you seem to be saying is that the accusation itself is enough to justify the ban, which is akin to a witch hunt, where the accused is presumed to be guilty and is then punished for having been accused, with no evidence given and no recourse.

      I was not given the basic courtesy of a warning, or even a message from the moderator, and a 73-year ban is effectively permanent, which is extreme when no actual rules were broken. Basically, I was banned for thought crime, because the mod didn’t like what I said. The judgment was carried out summarily and with no consideration. This is kangeroo court nonsense.

      The last time I experienced similar behavior was on lemmygrad.ml.
