I've just found out that I've been banned from lemmy.ml. I have not received any notification about it, but I just so happen to check if the fediverse is working correctly and I noticed that under my user profile viewed from lemmy.ml, it says "banned".

I suspect the reason is likely because I've been criticizing extremist ideologies like Marxism-Leninism and Nazism and they couldn't take the criticism.

Has anyone else been banned by instances? Did you feel the ban justified or not?

Edit: It seem like I've made a joke about gun violence that the admins thought went too far. I guess we can't joke nowadays... 🤷‍♂️

are we really doing this because you got banned for 14 days on lemmy.ml for an extremely unfunny school shooting joke? come on. i'm not going to but just in principle i should probably give you a three day ban from here for spreading this cringe here when mod logs are public. this is dumb.

Sure seems it wasn’t anti-extremism but maybe that awful joke about school violence that go him banned but I’m just spitballing here.

It’s only a temp ban too, seems like it expires in 13 days.

Ahh, it seems like I've mistaken the cause. Thank you for the info.
