Banned over fish joke

UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.: ::: spoiler unban log screenshot :::

I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in [email protected], 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.

::: spoiler 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.

[discussion] Quantum Bicycle Society?

This is a question regarding atomic and quantum physics, and any academic input would be appreciated. I am wanting some input on what level of trust I should put into this "Quicycle" group. It's a think tank comprised of supposed Doctors from CERN and research groups, and states their names. alot of their stuff raises red flags for me, though.

To preface, I was working on understanding how exactly, in 3d space, electron orbitals affect the magnetic field of their atoms. I'm wanting to better understand why atoms like Iron are more magnetic than others. I am not heavily plugged into the physics community, though - I'm mostly just learning out of personal curiosity.

I stumbled upon this group's periodic table of atomic orbitals, and it seems accurate on its face to a layman like myself. However, I start trying to research some of the terms and they're proposing things I've never heard of like pd-hybridization (where the p and d electron orbitals merge(?) to produce a hybrid orbital(?)).

I decided to look over their site with more rigor and I'm seeing things like Vivian Robinson: The Common Sense Universe (talking about 'common sense' when talking about quantum and "sub-quantum" mechanics seems really screwy) and M.A.R.T. (yet another theory of everything attempt) and I get a sinking feeling that nothing in this website is trustworthy for learning more in-depth physics.

Does any of this stuff look right to any Lemmy physicists?
