As the title says, i recently got banned from lemmy.world because they use regex (or a similiar mechanism) to ban someone instance-wide even if you write that thing on another instance
The mod log for whoever is interessed: https://feddit.it/modlog?page=1&actionType=ModBanFromCommunity&userId=20251941
Anyway, the culprit comment was this: https://feddit.it/comment/20981739
Apparently it banned me because i cited the blacklist that contained some URL or word that .world doesn’t like
Also, i had to use this 2nd account to write this post because i couldn’t access this community in my main one (it’s not an instance problem because when logged out i can find the community on feddit.it)
Honestly, i hope that .world admins wake up and understand that automated bans with regex are not the way and doing that on other instances is even worse!
The problem is that they ban you for something you wrote on another instance! The comment was on a lemmy.ml community on my feddit.it account, that’s something they shouldn’t even care about to begin with!
And still, the automation is just some bot that check for a regex so it’s not that great either…
would you prefer an All feed on your instance that is filled with advertisements? of course we care about content that is posted to other instances in certain categories, like spam or illegal material.
You do you ig, i don’t agree with that way
