These are starting to really stack up with the nutty mods in some of these places and I’d like to keep score and perhaps display them somewhere. I’m wondering if there’s a list?

If not, short of crawling every community findable by an account and checking banned status by e.g. attempting to post, is there a way to collate such a list programmatically with e.g. an API or cURL or selenium automation, given the structure of the fediverse?

    I mean there are some shit mods man. I got banned from a community once because I criticized a New York Post article. Said it was baseless and there was no substance to it. I guess the guy was mad that I correctly identified the source.

      I got banned once for saying the holocaust was one of many genocides throughout history and not unique…

      Edit: I’m really curious to know if people downvoting the above statement think Nazis invented the genocide?

        People are downvoting you, because while the Holocaust wasn’t the first nor last genocide, it still is unique. Your initial statement makes two claims, but you only refer to the one less controversial one in your “curious edit”.

          It is unique in the sense that every genocide has been unique. My statement for which I got banned was in the context of ‘nothing like this has ever happened to anybody else!’

      But that was one case, of course there are some mods that are just shit (or maybe just interpreted things wrong, made a mistake or acted based on emotions for various reasons) but if it’s this many cases, it becomes kinda hard to believe that all of those mods are the issue and not the person getting banned by multiple mods
