  • (It actually expired 3 days ago, managed to re-subscribe earlier today).

    I don’t think the posts by the other user came off as immediately troll-ey, so I am not sure how to not to do it again? It was definitely not my intention to feed them. I was not the only user who replied to them either. Some of the comments that were removed were direct replies to me, which is what made me think the mod may have mistakenly used my username when they were trying to ban them. I know timed bans eventually expire, but that I was banned for 30 days for “trolling” will always be accessible through the modlog (without context) when it was possibly a mistake.


  • Hi! I got banned from one of the communities in the instance about a month ago (climate). I think (hope) it was actually a mistake? I got into a discussion with someone under an article, they kept saying dumb things, and the mod for that comm removed his comments with the reason “don’t troll”, but then banned me for 30 days for “trolling” (and not the other user who had their comments removed). I messaged the mod for that comm to ask if it had been a mistake, but I’m thinking they may had blocked me as I didn’t get a reply.

    I’m posting mainly because I don’t want that permanent “stain” in my record when it was possibly a mistake. Is there anything I can do about it?


  • Equating Nazi symbolism with Soviet ones just feels like such a weird thing to do, there’s a reason Nazi symbols are banned in several (if not a majority) of European countries, but is not the case at all when it comes to soviet symbols. I think it’s specially disappointing because the image that was originally shared was a reference to the “spectre” line in the communist manifesto. The hammer and sickle symbol has a long history that supersedes the history of the Soviet Union as a state, even my “third-world country” in Latin America (I’m sure you can see in the logs where I’m posting from) has a history of using the symbol for liberatory causes.





  • I selected all languages (except “IsZulu”, the control doesn’t seem to save properly when I try to select every language, tried a bunch of times but couldn’t get it to save), and I’m still only seeing the (now) six most recent posts. I tried unchecking and rechecking the “Show Read Posts” option, but it didn’t make a difference. I also cleared the cache on my browser(s).








  • That was my first thought too, I have “browser default” selected (which should be English), so I don’t think that’s it.

    Edit: Okay, I got things mixed up, “browser default” is a setting for the interface language. On my language settings I had 0 languages selected (I don’t know how it got changed? Or if that’s the default setting.) I selected Undetermined and English, but I’m still only seeing three posts (the 3 most recent, I think).
