I'm trying to understand how the rules work - is the mod overreacting or misunderstanding? (self.asklemmy)

Hey all.. I don't even know if this is the right community. But figured I'd ask here and worst case no one gives a response.

Anyway, two of my comments were deleted and I was banned from a community:

Banned

@StaySquared from the community Lefty [email protected] reason: reactionary

The post was about how there's no such thing was unskilled work. I commented that, "sex work" is an unskilled job. And my second comment was that it was the first thing that came to mind, that a clown creating animal-shaped balloons are more skilled than a sex worker.

I don't understand how this is reactionary? Or how it's defined in this community but apparently it's bad enough to get banned for it. I wish the mod(s) would give a clear explanation, otherwise I'm going to continue breaking rules aimlessly (without realizing I'm breaking the rules).

Definition of reactionary: opposing political or social liberalization or reform.

I'm not opposing sex work. I'm defining sex work as an unskilled talent/job. If a man or woman wants to be a sex worker, good for them. I'm not offended or negatively impacted by sex workers.

So I guess the question is, how do I contact the mods or a mod of that community so they may get my defense before outright perma-banning me from the community?

“sex work” is an unskilled job.

I can't believe I'm having to suggest this to someone... please actually go visit a brothel. Vanilla sex between couples are usually more passion focused so they won't have to give much attention on any particular sex move.

Sex workers however have to use their finesse to satisfy you because there was never any attraction or intimacy between either of you thus no passion to excite either of you. Just ask them to take the lead and find out.

Reactionary:relating to, marked by, or favoring reaction especially : ultraconservative in politics

Your takes are reactionary in a sociopolitical lens. Words can have more than one meaning.
