Hey all… I don’t even know if this is the right community. But figured I’d ask here and worst case no one gives a response.

Anyway, two of my comments were deleted and I was banned from a community:

Banned

@StaySquared from the community Lefty Memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com reason: reactionary

The post was about how there’s no such thing was unskilled work. I commented that, “sex work” is an unskilled job. And my second comment was that it was the first thing that came to mind, that a clown creating animal-shaped balloons are more skilled than a sex worker.

I don’t understand how this is reactionary? Or how it’s defined in this community but apparently it’s bad enough to get banned for it. I wish the mod(s) would give a clear explanation, otherwise I’m going to continue breaking rules aimlessly (without realizing I’m breaking the rules).

Definition of reactionary: opposing political or social liberalization or reform.

I’m not opposing sex work. I’m defining sex work as an unskilled talent/job. If a man or woman wants to be a sex worker, good for them. I’m not offended or negatively impacted by sex workers.

So I guess the question is, how do I contact the mods or a mod of that community so they may get my defense before outright perma-banning me from the community?

    As someone who has actually tried to get government assistance, I suspect it was removed for being misleading, not because they actually believe there is ‘no healthcare in the US’. Don’t strawman people.
    Poor people often cannot get healthcare, such as via lack of documentation, lack of means to actually get to the places they need to go, etc. In my case, the government invented a completely fictional job for me that I did not have and declared it meant I was not eligible, and gave me a time limit to respond that expired before I had the actual chance to respond. The window for applications is a very short time period and I live with people who frequently do not give me my mail before winging it some place random, so it can take me a week to find my own mail.
    Someone living without a mailbox would have had zero opportunity: in that regard, I was ‘lucky’.

      I am someone who “tried to get government assistance” too, and I got discounted healthcare from the US government when I was poor. I shared .gov links about those programs to help others who might need free or reduced cost healthcare but might not be aware that community health centers exist. That’s what was “misinformation” according to the Wrongthink Censors.
