What did you do?

TexMexBazooka OP ,

Refer to my initial comment in the screenshot, I said that everyone but keyboard warrior tankies get banned from .ml eventually. Admin proceeded to immediately prove my point-again.

Just forget about .ml. you’ll be happier

TexMexBazooka OP ,

I’m usually on mobile and don’t check what instance a given post is from, I usually only find out it was ml by getting hateful DMs from teenagers and/or getting banned several days later

GBU_28 ,

Totally. Jump in the settings, depending on your app you can instance block

I think this is a script/bot

TexMexBazooka OP ,

It’s probably a script. Unless you’re saying I’m a bot, in which case beep boop hello fellow human

YourPrivatHater ,

Nah i mean this type of ban behavior. Ive seen that on other instances as well (absolutely ew) and i think that this action is performed by a bot or user script, is the first ban from the same person? Then it’s a script, if not, its a bot that gets triggered by a instance ban.

TexMexBazooka OP ,

Dessalines definitely isn’t a bot, he’s one of the main Lemmy devs

YourPrivatHater ,

You can still have a bot running over the same account.

TexMexBazooka OP ,

Ah, fair point

It not a script. It’s how lemmy handles instance bans

YourPrivatHater ,

I’ve only seen that on a few instances now, and all of them are pretty close to what .ml is… Was that in a recent update or what exactly? Cause its not actually how lemmy handles bans, at least it wasn’t until recently.
