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 days ago

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

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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 days 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.
