How I once got banned from an action group's whatsapp group (lemmygrad.ml)

A while ago, I was banned from a whatsapp group from a pro-Palestinian action group in my labour union. I was banned because of pocket typing, I accidentally uploaded a picture from my work back then, a bag of mail, to the chat. Maybe I also did something else I'm not aware of, but there's no way of knowing. After I was banned I tried to reach out to the moderator who banned me. I told him it was an accident but he never replied. A day later when I asked to get a reply back he still ghosted me. A couple of months later I asked again. Still no reply.

The action group seems to organise mostly on whatsapp. So I can't organise on the intersection of Palestine and union work anymore, an intersection I care about because of some bullshit ban which I never got a reason for.

I feel very angry about this every time the action group is mentioned because then I'm reminded of this shit. You can't take yourself seriously as an organisation if organisers can just ban you without clarifying why or without letting you explain yourself.

Tbh it's for the better. No idea why they're using Whatsapp for something like that in the first place.
