I got banned from piefed.social, no idea why though.
11d 16h ago by piefed.zip/u/Jorvex609 in yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com from piefed.social
The account is a day old so I can't see how I could possibly already have broken the rules. I have another account on piefed.social that I've had for a while and I didn't get banned in all that time. Any ideas what it could have been?
piefed.social
isn't that the anti-left instance where the developer was doing some shady profiling?
The mod tools are lackluster here so some just autban new accounts which they aren't sure are legit
I remember before I blocked hexbear, the users there had a weird dislike of lemmy.zip and started harassing me in a thread.
I replied and after several comments back and forth they decided that I wasn't a super evil guy after all.
Anyway, after that annoying encounter, I decided to block the instance to avoid further annoyance going forward.
It could be that the admin of piefed.social has some kind of beef with .zip?
The hexbear guys are in other non tankie instances as well, including as moderators. I had a problem with them too at one point.
Vibes, probably. Admins might not have liked a username made of text followed by numbers. It's the kind of stuff the folks running it scrutinize.
They need to get with the times. Bot accounts use names that look like gfycat links now.
Oh piefed probably docs them for that as well. too close to a gif in name - 200 reputation and prevented from doing commenting
Yeah. I like piefed for all the features it has but I came to the fediverse partially to avoid bs algorithms.
piefed.social's admins have had a history of banning people for personal vendetta or petty reasons. You shouldn't worry about it too much.
PTB if it wasn't clear.
You got banned for un-American activities, namely exposing the Epstein class.
