I got banned from a (presumably) rational community. Just curious if anyone has had experience with this and what next steps are. (lemmy.world)

FWIW, the community was [email protected].

I assume I was banned because I said I understood Biden opposing surgery on minors, specifically trans surgery. Although I disagreed with it.

How is worldnews, or lemmy.ml remotely rational?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I guess they don't argue with people directly and the posts don't seem too bad. It's always mixed in with my other posts.

I didn't realize it was that extreme. I mean, my comment was literally just saying that a less progressive policy was still "reasonable" even if I didn't align with it.

I forgot about .ml being the tankies instance too.
