I made some off-hand comments on a post on 196 and didn't realize they'd be taken the wrong way. I made a few more comments to help clarify my idea but caught a blanket ban from blahaj.zone with no warning or message.

I'm mortified :( It's never been my goal to make others feel bad online. I had a quibble with the wording on a meme and clumsily worded my idea of "Our differences shouldn't be minimized because they make us special" was seen as transphobia/TERF rhetoric.

But with no prior warnings or even a message from a mod to 'cool it', I got banned from the entire instance. I love these communities (feel free to look at my 2.5 years of comment/post history) and I would like to be able to continue to participate.

So, is there a formalized method of ban appeal beyond messaging mods? Their instance has like 12, so I don't want to spam them and have it seen as harassment.

Yeah, blahaj, don't bother. There's an elevated amount of odd positions that are popular there, and don't you dare question them.

Note to self: never comment on blahaj

You could just not be shitty and it wouldn't be a problem to post on blahaj at all.

Or I could be perceived as shitty even if I don't intend to, and get blasted... Better safe than sorry.
