Today, i couldnt upvote a post from anarchymemes@anarchist.nexus so i decided to check it out on my pc. i noticed that i was banned from the com even though i havent posted anything on the com nor the instance. i guess the reason for the ban is that i posted a meme to different comm a while ago. The meme is homophobic but i didnt know it when i was posting it. After finding out it was homophonic, i added a disclaimer to my post.
i dont think i deserved the ban, and i want to hear your thoughts.

The community decided that, or the mod team did? Is the whole community a part of that Matrix chat?

Note quokka is not part of the flotilla as they voted down the suggestion

They exercised self-determination in deciding against joining, but you deem it appropriate to disregard that and group them with something they chose not to become part of?
I’m happy to be an honorary member. If it wasn’t for the Hex federation, I’d have voted yes personally and that would have tipped the vote into succeeding as it only lost by 6%.
Well, hexbear should have effectively defederated from qk now
so might be a moot point at this time :D
Sadly it’s too late :(

thoughts here, quite simple:
Crypt has a point but I’d like to bring some details.
1: while quokka.au chose to not join us in the flotilla, they still share many similar takes and values with us. We have reasons to trust many of them, and anarchy is about mutual support of each other.
2: any single user level action has little bearing on whether the quokka.au community on a whole is trusted. If there were systemic activity with admins knowing and ignoring, or condoning, then trust would break down.
3: communities have control over their own rules of conduct. So does the server. If you violate these, even accidentally, there can be consequences. You can appeal these, but if the mods and or admins believe there still remains an issue, then so do the consequences.
Directly put, your own actions and consequences have little to do with quokka.au . If you want the flotilla to specifically take any actions related to our relation with a fellow server, regardless if they are a part of the flotilla, that would need governance involvement and related vote. Bringing up that kind of issue over a single user ban for a bad attempt at a joke gone wrong is not appropriate avenue for this.
Dissociation would be blocking someone you don’t like. You banned them from a community. You personally, unilaterally made a decision on behalf of others without input, discussion, or community involvement. This is a perversion of anarchism.

You’re right that I don’t understand how your community works. I’m glad it was discussed democratically, but there is someone you clearly forgot to include or this post wouldn’t exist.
You are putting defamatory words in my mouth, and I think you are aware that you are doing it maliciously with intent to defame. To me, this only further confirms my suspicions about you. The only person doing harm here is you. My generation has sacrificed too much, I have personally sacrificed too much, to stand quietly while decades of progress won at unimaginable and horrifying costs is undone by privileged children that can’t tell the difference between homophobia and situational humor that has nothing to do with our community.
I recommend you look at the discussions that Deceptichum and I just had, then calm down, collect your thoughts, and process what exactly I am saying. It is important that you understand the harm you are doing to those you claim to care about with behavior like this.
