Why can't I comment or vote on midwest.social posts?
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?
I commented once on one of that instance's communities when an instance admin was mass banning people for ridiculous reasons and was told by some of the mods that all I was doing was "giving them work" by reporting violations of their own rules. Ever since, I've had them blocked.
Seeing the reason for why you're banned tells me I made the right choice.
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?
