UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

~~I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, 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.
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.
That's quite extreme. PTB.
I meant to just ban them from the vegan community on db0. I will reverse this.
also not justifiable. your bans are ridiculous
How does someone accidentally ban people across multiple communities and instances? Is there a ban from everything I moderate button?
Yes
Not everything is done with bad intentions.
why not have another mod double check the ban before it goes through?
There's 2 ticks on the Tesseract menu when you want to ban an user from interacting with your community without directly looking for their comments and I accidentally hit the bottom option instead of the top one.
Take at that what you will.
I'll bet that's handy for taking care of spammers!
much appreciated, that makes more sense.
Sorry about that, I definitely ate the onion in that situation.
Hey, misunderstandings happen. I also jumped the gun a bit by posting in PTB first rather than contacting you directly first.
That makes more sense :D I withdraw my PTB for a BPR since it does seem you misunderstood their comment.
