For not agreeing that Elon Musk was/is a Nazi. He has been called that because of his body language during the Trump rally which resembled Nazi salutes, but he spoke that this wasn’t his intent, with the anti-defamation league, Snopes, and half of the United States of America (including the president) all saying his elaboration on his intent checks out but with his critics still going after him for it.

I don’t like the guy, but I’m not going to nitpick like this and put words in his mouth, especially as someone who can relate to people trying to speak for her as a form of attack, and for this reason, people reasoned “Leni must be a Nazi if she dismisses suspicions that someone else is a Nazi just because he did those hand gestures” and they banned me. At the same time, @davel@lemmy.ml, who already hated me, started to list suspected alts, and Lemmy World was like “well he’s saying it, so it must be true” and put on a fireworks display of bans based on the idea I must have all these alts.

This didn’t stop my first reaction to being banned from being “wow, the usual barrage of obligatory downvotes I usually get finally stopped”. Plus the ban left a lot out, so it is almost like they half-assed it to please the people.
