I joined Lemmy back in 2020 and have been using it as [email protected] until somewhere in 2023 when I switched to lemmy.world. I’m interested in systemd/Linux, FOSS, and Selfhosting.

    Okay, I’ve taken a look and so far I’ve seen the following.
    You were never banned (except for one time being banned by moss), but Peachy did remove several posts from you. One of those removed posts was an “anti-trans meme” (probably not intended by you this way) and a different instance of you not tagging NSFW. I believe you when you say you never posted anything transphobic, but it certainly seems like the meme has transphobic elements. It starts with saying “you will never be a real mushroom” (“you will never be a real woman”). It also says the subject never will have spores (reference to trans woman missing “real” genitals). Furthermore, it finishes with “You are a small kitten twisted by fabric and wool into a crude mockery of nature’s perfection”, which is very close to things like “You are a man with a dress and implants and a crude mockery of nature’s perfection”. This might seem far-fetched, but each line is extremely similar to common transphobic sayings.

    So, enough meme analysis and talk about the things you’ve said:

    1. My modlog is completely clear and free of ANY such removals or bans

    So this is false, but I can understand why you might have thought that because those removals were on blahaj and you might have checked the logs for lemmy.world

    1. …outright lying about me and claiming that they have banned me for being transphobic in the past

    Peachy didn’t say you were “being transphobic”, they said they removed an “anti-trans meme”, which is true.

    I banned Stamets a couple times over the last year for posting an anti-trans meme

    1. This has literally never happened and they’re just making shit up about me now to try and justify a ban after the fact.

    I hope you can see why a mod who sees someone posting a (to some) blatantly obvious transphobic meme, later sees them not marking a post as NSFW, is unlikely to see their side of the issue when they later complain about a ban. I can understand that you’re upset (rightfully so, I don’t think the ban was justified) and have no interest in participating in this community going forward, but we’re not making things up.
