No reason given in modlog, just permaban.

My only comment there in the past week or more:

I messaged the lone active mod politely asking if there had been a mistake or what the reason was, but have not received a reply despite them making multiple posts since.

Sucks, I’ve blocked the .world news comms and had been using this one since pretty much the beginning. Now this bullshit comes along.

    Communication probably could happen, but you’re not the first nor last person they have to deal with. Who knows you might be the 100th person they banned for similar comments from real bigots. The probability that you aren’t could be slim to none and not worth the hassle to them.

    It shouldn’t be always up to them to communicate to you, it should be equally up to you to be educated on the comments and greater meaning of the comments you post (the dog whistle phrase).

      up to you to be educated on the comments and greater meaning of the comments you post (the dog whistle phrase).

      Expecting every last person to be up to date on whatever nonsense the far right is pulling is unrealistic. Do you Google every phase you utter to make sure it doesn’t have another meaning to some group? This is just more of the left eating the left as usual.

        Personally my first thought on reading a comment like that is “bigot” and then I block them. Not really anything to do with the far right.

        Expecting every mod to send a “hey buddy, you made a meanie head comment, plz no” is unrealistic when they have much more important things to do and their own damn lives. If 95% of people who say that dog whistle mean it, why the fuck should he think you’re an exception to that, race off to tend you and give you a forehead kiss and tell you he’s sowwie?

          They could add a few words for the ban reason. “Mocking inclusive acronymns” would have been a good reason.

          . If 95% of people who say that dog whistle mean it,

          Well for one thing, it’s NOT a dog whistle in Asia, so that’s a pretty fucking big part of the global population. You’re taking western cultural quirks and assuming the entire world is familiar with them.

        I’ll read this, as if you’rnt educated on netiqutte. I am aware of my privileges, so I am olive branching. Heck, given that my wife had to “whoop a libie” a day ago, I may make this a !whatever@quokk.au essay.

        This is just more of the left eating the left as usual.

        Now, this is a blatant wolfsgeheul. Please educate yourself.

        Only reply to me back, when you have read these 3 pamphlets. Otherwise, we really don’t have to interact.
