Why can't I comment or vote on midwest.social posts?
AFAIK it has always been this way. I don't think I've been banned from an entire instance, but who knows? If I have, I wasn't told about it. Do they only allow interaction from people registered to their instance?

lmao
oh my god, what a snowflake mod. Not even a real reason, I have banned people from my instance. Reason? Racism. Homophobia. Transphobia. Never "republican".
What's weird is I have definitely been very liberal over there, I am somewhat active in ![email protected] and have never seen anything. Do the admins just have one snowflake mod?
The admin himself seems to have an attitude problem.
Edi: context
Wait, they said nothing productive was coming from the thread, including themselves, then locked it? I'm a little confused, what was the ban for?
They mean “lib” in the leftist way, as another word for capitalist
It's not loading for me. Is that all it says?
If so that's strike two for me WRT that place.
![email protected] just in case

Thanks, but this is essentially the equivalent of telling me to refresh again.
And the instance's sidebar:
yay more tankies in disguise
Welcome Midwest social members to other instances, when they come. They were always very welcoming to me and I am grieved that this is happening.
I commented once on one of that instance's communities when an instance admin was mass banning people for ridiculous reasons and was told by some of the mods that all I was doing was "giving them work" by reporting violations of their own rules. Ever since, I've had them blocked.
Seeing the reason for why you're banned tells me I made the right choice.
Looks like you got banned for 1 year 2 months ago.

This technically violates rule #5 but I feel like it's a valuable information and discussion to have available.
