My friend is able to freely post in lemmy.world and lemmy.ml communities, which is demonstrable here

However, another friend pointed out that her posts aren’t showing up on lemmy.ml and lemmy.world

lemmy.ml/c/todayilearned?dataType=Post&sort=New

lemmy.world/c/askmen?dataType=Post&sort=New

lemmy.world/c/newcommunities?dataType=Post&sort=N…

lemmy.world/c/asklw?dataType=Post&sort=New

If the posts were removed by the authorities, that would’ve been documented in the modlogs.

Despite what some may claim, she is not “instance banned” on lemmy.world or lemmy.ml. This is misinformation as she literally exudes proof of otherwise completely on demand (would a ghosted person be getting votes and commentary?)

Your “friend”, huh

Stop acting in ways that violate the social contract and stuff like this will stop happening to you. I have no idea, but I strongly suspect that it’s exactly what it looks like: You’re blocked wholesale from the instances in question in some way which doesn’t show in the modlog.

I don’t even really know how to trace back through all the hall-of-mirrors of what original behavior led to what drama led to what sanctions led to what further drama. Regardless, step 1 is to just openly ask, hey what behavior should I be doing, what should I not be doing. And then just go from there and cooperate with the other people on the network to do the first and not the second. Lemmy is pretty frickin lenient with anyone who is willing on some level to engage with that whole process openly.

This started when my friend made comments about a certain social media platform owner, who for the last three months gas been the topic of a mass slandering campaign after making a certain gesture on live TV, a gesture in which a small minority of people attributed to him participating in Nazi ideologues, but whose gesture did not match his intention. I suggested a both sides angle and perhaps not everything is how they seem. Snopes, the ADL, Fox News, and even the President himself debunked the notion that the gesture was malicious.

@Pavlovian honestly that sounds like the level of intolerance that I expect from this platform.

It's unfortunate, it's antisocial, but here we are.
