In all seriousness, can we stop using memes@lemmy.ml?

edit: One helpful comment has informed me that I've been temp banned, not shadow banned. Don't know why I could still see the post, but I guess the mystery is solved. Personally, I'm not going to use their meme instance any longer even when this ban is up.

I get being frustrated that you were silenced and didn't get a reason but people, by and large, don't care about your personal beefs, and expectations react badly to complaints of not getting ups. That's a knee-jerk that people have.

In future, don't complain about votes first. Make the meme about it seeming broken or something. The majority of people who complain about votes (and find out they were banned or whatever) look like salty crybabies because most of them are.

This is a learning opportunity for being on the internet so use it that way. And then ask about this ban and clarification of rules there.

    I'm cool with being downvoted by the community. I'm not cool with being deleted when I didn't break any rules. You'll feel the difference if it ever happens to you.

    I've had plenty of posts over the decades removed from different forums that I didn't think broke any rules. It's not a personal attack, you just take the L and move on.

    The cool thing with Lemmy being completely open is that the modlog is public and it just takes a couple clicks to see you were temp banned for violating the lemmy.ml code of conduct.

    Also, all of your posts on memes@lemmy.ml since the ban ended have plenty of comments, are you sure you're not just having federation issues viewing from lemmy.zip?

    The lemmy modlog is a lot of things, but it is not and has never been completely open. Its as clear as mud, mods fill out only what they can be bothered to fill out and even then do so at the bare minimum, and some mod actions dont actually appear in the mod log depending on which mod performed the action.

    The mod log is one of the worst parts about lemmy, thanks to how incomplete it is.

    I posted the same meme to sopuli.xyz and to lemmy.ml. Did well on sopuli.xyz, got exactly 0 responses on lemmy.ml. Mind you, I've been temporarily banned from lemmy.ml (a while ago) and have been critical of the mods there, so I suspect fuckery is afoot.

    Yeah, I would understand if it got downvoted, but literally zero votes on a meme is suspicious

    All your lemmy.ml memes have votes though?

    It's hard for me to know what you're seeing because I'm suspicious that people can't see the meme in question. But I was referring to the meme titled "Chronic traumatic encephalopathy". If anyone takes a screenshot of that meme with votes then I will admit I'm wrong and delete this post. (Can't be just 1-2 votes though because you could do that before the screenshot)

    I only find one post by you with that name, and it's posted on sopuli, maybe it has been removed from lemmy.ml?
