It’s not exactly the same complaint at all. You got a single comment removed from a single thread by a single moderator.
The equivalent would be if the admin of lemmy.world stepped in and not only banned you from World News but also every single other LW community you posted in, out of spite.
I think you have a very different definition of “perfectly reasonable” than most people.
I’ve defended lemmy.ml in the past when people have blamed the entire instance for the actions of a solitary, overzealous moderator, but this genuinely concerns me:
This must have been action taken at the instance admin level, considering all those communities have different moderators.
Is there any way to probe the modlog to see which account it was?

Agreed, and additional thanks to you, @sunaurus, for all your ongoing contributions to the project and for being such a good instance admin as well.
💯 checking out the admin of a Fediverse instance you want to join is a good idea. Do they communicate with their users? Do they seem responsible ? Do they have any previous experience as a network admin? Lemm.ee was an obvious yes on all counts.
The admin for vlemmy.net was the complete opposite and look how that turned out.
Definitely shop around and find a server that matches the vibe you’re after.
I’d suggest avoiding the largest ones (e.g. mastodon.social) and going for something in the middle.
This server selection wizard might come in handy:
This is a great base for people to create their own. I much prefer the wider page width to Lemmy’s default on desktop.
Personally, though, I find the box outline colors in these themes to be a little loud.
I tweaked the CSS and made it look a bit more understated.
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks for the heads up.
