UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, which is a more reasonable ban. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.
So it seems i’ve gotten a month-long ban in… over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.
Screen cap of comment for posterity:
It’s directly replying to a comment saying they can’t imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it’s satirizing people’s mental gymnastics about fishes’ pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.
It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.
Y’know, concentrating power in the hands of a single person / group defeats the purpose of decentralisation.
I can understand if the damage is limited to communities within a single instance, but when a ban is so far-reaching - across so many instances - it makes me wonder what’s the point of choosing Lemmy over, say, Reddit.
It’s still the same problem again, just with different people in charge - like Bluesky vs Twitter.
lemmy fixes admin abuse, not mod abuse.
It doesn’t “fix” admin abuse either - see feddit.org situation. It only helps with admin abuse as the bans apply to part of the universe rather that to the entire Lemmy.
Yes, that’s how it fixes it. You cannot be banned from lemmy, only individual servers.

IMHO this mod is out of control
Stay away from the vegan comms until you learn how to engage the topic in good faith
Lol ok powermod. PTB. Doubly so for banning over a comment on a totally seperate instance & community.
It’s a vegan community. If I see users who are anti-vegan I don’t want them on my community.
Some people go out of their way to antagonize the users on blahaj.zone or !womensStuff@lazysoci.al defending their poor actions saying “Well its on all feed so I can make my unwelcomed comments and don’t you dare force your comm rules on me” without reading your sidebar rules.
Cope, this was a mass ban for a fairly mild joke on a entirely different space and wasnt even touching your vegan community in the slightest.
They very clearly were not on the vegan com at the time of the comment so the example given is a false equivalency.
Petty reddit powermod behaviour.
You’ve only walked this back as well due to the mass backlash stemming from this post.
That’s quite extreme. PTB.
I meant to just ban them from the vegan community on db0. I will reverse this.
also not justifiable. your bans are ridiculous
Yikes, a mass ban over multiple communities for that? PTB
Ada used to do this too before people started speaking up
Mods and admins will always find a way to trip over the smallest amount of power.
You have no right to attack Ada for that.
I do, she’s been a bad admin who’s made petty decisions and deserves to be criticized
