What a coincidence I was banned too. No reason given as you might suspect. Stamets sent me a DM this morning threatening me for “posting too often” I was mad because there was no previous rule about it but agreed anyway. Then he added a rule to the sidebar after the aggressive DM. He asked me not to post more than 3-4 times an hour and I complied now I came back to post more and am banned.
He was upset because I posted a meme critical of Discovery and called him out when he gave a rude response to my meme.
Typical mod tantrum. I had hoped we escaped this on Lemmy…
Stamets. He actually banned me from the new place after posting a dumb meme he just didn’t like (said I was “ban evading”). Did not know about him crying transphobia but it doesn’t surprise me, the person has a serious temper issue.
EDIT I forgot he also retroactively removed two AI shitposts posts I made after writing a rule about it (yet didnt remove his own)
