Mods please tell me if I should post this somewhere else.

This dude is a mod at !globalnews@lemmy.zip (even though they are not listed there as mod) and !apple@lemmy.zip (same thing, they aren’t a mod there either)

My modlog does say I was banned by this person, and no reason is stated. This person is ignoring my DM / has blocked me? I genuinely don’t remember even posting there as they are relatively small communities, and I’m not subscribed to them. I saw one post on global news today in my All feed and tried to upvote it, and that’s how I discovered.

Now I’m seeing in this persons post history that they are some kind of lemmy.zip admin of some instance possibly.

So I’m seeing to know if this person is almighty as an instance admin, and can just ban people in any community on that instance or if this could be some kind of automod mistake.

Thanks

E: @mods, I’ve got all the info I needed, feel free to lock/remove

    Makes two of us. I cannot believe you’re okay with another human being treating you like that. Who cares if they own the joint. Nobody forced them to do it. If you decide to spin up an instance you do it because you want to help the human race. You want to make the internet more positive.

    And here people are defending less-enlightened admins who just randomly feel like banning people just for the sake of it, just because they can.

    And somehow I’m the disrespectful one. Come on. Don’t build a tent for people to join publicly and then randomly exclude that person because you don’t like something you overheard. If you’re like that, build a private tent.

    Humans are an interesting bunch. So diverse that you and me can have complete polar views on this. Regardless, have a good one mate. Nothing personal, just different moral/ethics framework I suspect.
