Hello!!! I appear to be community banned by mistake. Could someone share the secret to contacting a mod?

Many thanks!!!

Thank you for the reply. When I try to upvote a post on DADJOKES, I am told that I am banned.

?!?!

You were banned 12 days ago, no reason listed, no expiration listed. Sole mod in the community is @[email protected]

The beauty of modlogs, although it's a bit shitty that no reason was listed imo

Thank you for that info. Like I said. I’ve never had any interaction with the community except maybe upvoting posts.

I wonder if they are banning me for some perceived slight in another community.

Very ‘Reddit’ behaviour.

I’m sorry I didn’t list a reason for the ban. It was your comment that “I had married someone who stayed hot and wasn't a dominating bitch.” It didn’t seem appropriate for the community that has a pinned message about keeping the jokes appropriate enough for a kid.

It had nothing to do with any interaction on a different community. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

Apologies. I was feeling a bit too loose and truthful.

It won’t happen again. Strictly safe stuff.

Alright thanks for that. Sorry I did a ban without warning. Still figuring out the whole modding thing. I think I’ll need to get back to a desktop to see the unban option.

edit: Alright it shows on my end that you are now unbanned. Remember not to iron any four-leafed clovers (don't press your luck!). Happy dad-ing out there.

No post to be seen! Error returned.

I can’t see the comment either

“ The server returned this error: couldnt_find_post. ”

Oh, I think it's a case of even moderators of other instances can see it. My account has moderator privileges.

Could be, mine only has them on lemmy.world.
