Comment on Banned from Mental Health and falsified modlog...

That seems odd for a community with an average 1 post per day.
I think many mods here are reddit agents that infiltrated lemmy.
I’ve had a similar experience with some other subs. Basically now if I’m repeatedly banned from some community, I choose the next largest community and post there.
It’s crazy to me that 1post a day communities would ban willing participants

Thank you. Your name is one I see constantly, one of the people putting in a lot of effort to make sure this is a place with a real flow of content for users to interact with. I appreciate you taking the time to reply here. :)
Mental Health is described as the safe space to share information and discuss about that topic here on Lemmy.world. I took the time to spend 3 hours trying to detail my difficulties in getting an accurate diagnosis, the understanding that finally helped me do it, and a surface level understanding of the neurotransmitters behind the problems and how the medication I was using was designed to target only one.
That seems like exactly the sort of thing you would want in such a community. The post had many upvotes and an unusually fast moving and entirely friendly and positive comment section. To delete that and then ban the user permanently when it’s questioned…
In a niche community I would just move on. But in the Mental Health community here? One of the largest, dedicate to such a sensitive issue? That’s the sort of thing that could push someone going through a crisis to suicide. It’s the direct opposite of a safe space for those issues.
That seemed the sort of thing the administrators of the instance would have some concerns about. Lemmy is in desperate need of attracting new users, and treating a first time poster in a community dealing with a sensitive topic for many that way is the sort of thing I’d expect them to have issue with. I understand the admin team is likely small and it’s a Sunday, so I’m giving it until tomorrow and then emailing about it.
