For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.
They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

who cares. some of these communities are trash who don’t allow you to participate if you don’t align with their views. no different than reddit.
OP’s complaint is that he was not aware of the ban so he was commenting into nothing.
This is really software issue, they can ban him, and he can block them back. No problem at all.
The issue is that these servers are blocking new people and they might get pissed about not knowing it. This is UX issue for fediverse.
On top of it, these bans are arbitrary and capricious for the most part, so again, this will piss anyone who does know how fediverse works.
We got 50k AMU, with too many mods with nothing to do, so they find busy work.
fair but I’ve been banned because I didn’t follow the flow of the political narrative of the conversation. I don’t consider myself squarely in one camp so I read, understand, and comment/criticize what I feel I want to engage with. I will admit i was auto banned from one instance and got no response from anyone, so I can relate to what your comment is getting at.
There is a lot of censorship on lemmy both personal bias and outright regime narrative support.
That’s a huge issue, no doubt.
