Leaving Lemmy World (lemmy.ml)

I enjoyed my time being here and helping to grow this community. My plan was to keep things such as book of the month and show discussions going indefinitely. It's sad to say goodbye as I would love to continue to try my best at facilitating discussion and help this community become a great resource for science fiction fans everywhere. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice as lemmy.world admins have made the rather baffling decision to ban my account despite no rules being broken. Unless I hear back from Ruud on the matter and the situation is rectified there is no way for me to continue to enjoy discussing science fiction with all of you here. I'm unsure if I will attempt to restart this community on another instance.

Keep on loving science fiction. You guys are great. πŸš€

All I see is OP’s opinion. Not toxic in the slightest, imo.

Yeah, quite the opposite. Izzy was fairly stating an opinion and other people were being cruel and borderline toxic in their responses (nothing to warrant bans anywhere, though).

Thanks!

Edit: Hm. It gives me a server error. Bummer.

Edit 2: Never mind. Opening in private mode did the trick.

WTF!? That's the most ridiculous ban I've ever heard of...toxic behavior my ass, those mods definitely have some stake in sync and the revenue it generates or something and got mad. Childish powertripping behavior banning people for the types of comments izzy have in that thread.
