Also I would not recommend having an account on lemmy.ml if this is your concern, the moderators here are rather famous for doing this at the drop of a hat. I guess you could have your account on .ml and mostly interact with communities on other instances, but why?
Why indeed. I’d never create an account over there, I agree with you.
Sadly every user on Lemmy learned or will learn at their expense that interacting with most users from ml, hexbear and the likes, brings nothing positive on most occasions.
I had hoped that maybe something was done since last time I checked, but I guess I was wrong 😅
Authoritarians gonna authoritarian.
Also, especially with young people, calling them out for bad behavior like this usually leads to them just doubling down on the bad behavior because they'll feel that their honor is insulted by the criticism and so they have to reject it. Something like that. I definitely wouldn't hold your breath for a change.

Looking at the modlog, they picked up a 5 day ban from [email protected] for a comment that pretty much directly attacks .ml as being "tankie".
"Every now and then, the .ml side of this community comes through with these inaccurate tankle memes. You win some, you lose some I guess"
That's the whole comment I wrote. If you are going to report it, at least do it correctly please.

It really depends on the instance. For lemmy.world, you can reach the admins by a couple of different email addresses, but I'm not sure how that works for, say, lemm.ee which is your instance, or lemmy.ml which is where you posted this.
I posted here because it happened on lemmy.ml
But sadly, considering this is not the first time I've had the displeasure of interacting with your run of the mill, power tripping mod from ml, I won't hold my breath waiting for their assistance I guess.
It sucks that such a large instance as no accountability though. I’d imagine it must sucks for new users having to learn on their own to be aware of the usual instances
Looking at the modlog, it's a temp ban from memes. I wouldn't sweat it.
The point isn't that they received some wild type of "punishment" they can't come back from. The point is that having what you're allowed to say policed in this fashion is offensive to the vast majority of people, whatever mechanism "gentle" or not is being used to enforce the policing.
Moderation started out as a way to remove racism, spam and similar blatant abuse. Somehow, it's grown to the point that people feel they have to hover over the shoulders of the commenters dictating what are the allowed and disallowed types of statements. Most people feel that if they think China has an oppressive government, they should be allowed to say it. And that if they think the US has an oppressive government, they should be allowed to say it. Lemmy.ml is a silly place because one of those statements is "allowed" and the other is not, which is absurd behavior that belongs better on a Fox News comment section or a US State Department web site than it does on the flagship instance of a supposedly FOSS-and-freedom friendly software project.

As I wrote, this is not the first time I encountered such behavior. And while you might not care, I was curious to know if there were better solutions than just accepting these kind of things passively.
To me it is wrong for such prominent instances to always be the ones getting away with this type of behavior
