So I started a piefed account, mostly for my writing so that dbzer0 (and Lemmy) wouldnāt have to put up with all my weird fiction stories all the time. Plus, I wanted to check out the biggest Piefed space, piefed.social, because Iām excited about some of the new concepts they are bringing to the table.
I created a writing community, a Socialist community, and a Green Party community there today.
Nothing outrageous or controversial. I posted one news article in each of the Socialist and Green Party communities, and a couple to my writing comm.
The Socialist and Writing communities were local only, so they wouldnāt even show up in the larger Fediverse. I only posted in my own communities. No controversy intended, none created.
I just got banned, almost immediately after starting the communities. The reason in the mod log says: āUniversal Monkā.
The admin, @rimu@piefed.social, hasnāt replied to my DM asking why (yet). I guess being me is reason enough. I feel so famous! Or maybe infamous?
Iām still a libertarian socialist tho! Piefed.social and Lemmy aināt gonna change my mind.
Oh, I already know how the votes (down) here are gonna go! But doing my part in adding content to Lemmy anyway; being the change I wanna see. No regrets! :)
EDIT: Iām posting this here, and Iāve repeated it in this thread. Just in case piefed.social banned me on the assumption that Iām āconservativeā because Iāve posted links to conservative news articles⦠then, by that same logic, shouldnāt I also be considered socialist and anarchist because I post so much socialist and anarchist content? I actually post way more socialist content than anything else. And there is nothing in my fiction writing that is conservative at all. My entire post history is public, it doesnāt take much effort to see that I post practically anything I find interesting.
Crap! I answered, but you make it sound way more mysterious, so I deleted my answer!
I think they didnāt realize it was your username lol
Oh, that could be!
Yes i didnāt realize at first that is was your username. I though you got banned for another stupid concept that is meant to shut others down like the concept of virtue signaling
Itās my understanding that vitural signaling (as used as an insult on Lemmy) is saying youāre something that youāre not. But I am what I say I am, though Iām sure some have tried to ban me for that as well.
