Its a shame because they’re prominent voice on lemmy. Good on the admins for not tolerating this. I don’t understand the point of targeting a person you don’t like on the internet just because they said something that upset you and spamming their post with downvotes. If you don’t like someone block their ass and be done with it. I agree with the perspective that its harassment (and an incredibly petty ineffective form of it at that)
I’m banned from 11 communities on blahaj instance and 2 communities on feddit instance so I can’t comment or vote on stuff there but I also don’t see media posts made by users from those instances on other communities.
Reason for bans were vague, no particular comments or posts of mine was pointed out, and I’ve got no response when I asked for clarification.
Blahaj is probably blocked in your country, mine and another friend has the same issue. Feddit blocks large swathes of Asia and maybe some other parts of the world sadly, but the admin told me they’ll fix it… Soon.
That’s not it. The people who banned me are instance admins.
I meant the fact about media being broken, that would only happen if those instances are blocked/blocking you, banning cant do that at all. Otherwise I have no clue.
Bruh. The users are from feddit instance but the community they’re posting on is world instance.
And I can see the media when I open it in a browser without logging in.
It doesn’t work like that, even if the post is on another instance the media itself is hosted on the users’ instance. For example if a feddit.org user posted to a dbzer0 community I wouldn’t be able to see it, since the image itself is hosted on feddit.org.
There’s a fix for this called image proxying, which a few instances like Lemmy.zip for example enable, but Lemmy.world doesn’t do this.
Then I have no idea what’s going on, sorry.
Damn this fediverse thing is complicated.
Yeah it’s thumbnail getting cached to world instance. Silly me.
And none of this matters yet because I’m still permanently banned from multiple communities without those mods telling me which comments or posts of mine are responsible for those bans. 🤷♂️
i avoud controversial communities mostly for that very reason, like on reddit you can get misconstrued response and then get banned, barring if you actually said something very offensive.
