AFAIK it has always been this way. I don't think I've been banned from an entire instance, but who knows? If I have, I wasn't told about it. Do they only allow interaction from people registered to their instance?

oh my god, what a snowflake mod. Not even a real reason, I have banned people from my instance. Reason? Racism. Homophobia. Transphobia. Never "republican".

What's weird is I have definitely been very liberal over there, I am somewhat active in !iowa@midwest.social and have never seen anything. Do the admins just have one snowflake mod?

The admin himself seems to have an attitude problem.

Edi: context

Wait, they said nothing productive was coming from the thread, including themselves, then locked it? I'm a little confused, what was the ban for?

[–] Furball@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

They mean “lib” in the leftist way, as another word for capitalist

It's not loading for me. Is that all it says?

If so that's strike two for me WRT that place.

!theonion@sh.itjust.works just in case

Thanks, but this is essentially the equivalent of telling me to refresh again.

And the instance's sidebar:

A lemmy server for, but not limited to, leftists in the Midwest USA

yay more tankies in disguise

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 10 points 2 months ago

Welcome Midwest social members to other instances, when they come. They were always very welcoming to me and I am grieved that this is happening.
