Hey all… I don’t even know if this is the right community. But figured I’d ask here and worst case no one gives a response.
Anyway, two of my comments were deleted and I was banned from a community:
Banned
@StaySquared from the community Lefty [email protected] reason: reactionary
The post was about how there’s no such thing was unskilled work. I commented that, “sex work” is an unskilled job. And my second comment was that it was the first thing that came to mind, that a clown creating animal-shaped balloons are more skilled than a sex worker.
I don’t understand how this is reactionary? Or how it’s defined in this community but apparently it’s bad enough to get banned for it. I wish the mod(s) would give a clear explanation, otherwise I’m going to continue breaking rules aimlessly (without realizing I’m breaking the rules).
Definition of reactionary: opposing political or social liberalization or reform.
I’m not opposing sex work. I’m defining sex work as an unskilled talent/job. If a man or woman wants to be a sex worker, good for them. I’m not offended or negatively impacted by sex workers.
So I guess the question is, how do I contact the mods or a mod of that community so they may get my defense before outright perma-banning me from the community?
No comment on your comment, except that it’s quite mild to get a mod’s attention. Having said that, I’ve had lots of comments removed around Lemmy because there are apparently a lot of mods who just want to edit the comment stream to fit their worldview. It’s pretty goddamn pathetic IMO.
Anything the mods don’t agree with personally is liable to be deleted. It’s making Lemmy look bad with all the censorship.
For example I posted US gov’t website info about how the poor can get free or reduced cost healthcare in the USA, and a mod removed my comment as “misinformation” because it was their opinion that there is no healthcare in the USA.
Anybody who is afraid of reading words that they don’t agree with needs to grow up. If you don’t get exposed to opposing viewpoints, then you don’t understand reality.
