So I try to make heads or tails of this situation. I got randomly banned from a community where I posted a youtube video showing something from a Convention. Then I wanted to post a question today but realised that I couldn’t since I was banned. That community is sadly the biggest of all Star Citizen communities (the next one would be from lemmy.world)

I took a look at the Mod log and see the following line in it:

So no clean up of violating comments or posts, just a strict out ban.

The community has a pretty standard ruleset:

further, the moderator @Rumblestiltskin@lemmy.ml hasn’t posted anything since a year, so what gives here, or was it some other mod that was able to declare the ban?

    So what will make Sublinks better than e.g. PieFed? Or Mbin for that matter? All 3 of these I thought used Python rather than Rust, as Lemmy does.

      I think the main benefit is Lemmy API compatibility and the fact that it’s compatible with Lemmy’s database structure. Meaning that an instance could choose to migrate from Lemmy to Sublinks. When it comes to any other software they can’t really. They’d have to start from scratch as a platform.

        Ah, thank you. I’m not 100% certain that’s entirely a positive, but indeed it makes sense why e.g. Tesseract on dubvee.org would want to eye using that, when it comes out.

        Whereas Mbin provides more cross-platform compatibility with Mastodon, and PieFed with other similar integrations, e.g. PixelFed and upcoming Loops underneath that.
