Politics without the jerks.
This community is watched over by a ruthless robot moderator to keep out bad actors. I don't know if it will work. Read !santabot@slrpnk.net for a full explanation. The short version is don't be a net negative to the community and you can post here.

The main issue is that your past account was banned in this community, but you’re now using a new account to post here. This would usually be considered ban evasion in other circumstances but we all know you’re using this account because LW fully banned your other account.
If you didn’t try to post here previously, you may have been unaware you were banned. This is a gray area that would require us to know you were intentionally evading the ban.
Normally I’d say just don’t post here anymore but it’s a bit complicated because normally you could get unbanned if you post more positive things elsewhere. The way the automatic bans work here is quite different, I would recommend reading about it to understand the context.
This might require the main mod of this community to adjudicate.
As I said, you may want to read the way moderation works on this community to make sense of this. I can see how it would appear strange to you that you were banned in a community you never posted in it—but it’s just the way the automated ban bot functions. It bans people who get a lot of downvotes.
Unfortunately, Lemmy doesn’t notify users of bans which I think is stupid. But on the other hand, since the bot is banning people all the time who don’t care about or participate here, it could be a little annoying to send them notifications all the time.

Or if you don’t care then you can just not post here. Your choice really. If you continue posting the way you normally have in the past, I think the bot will ban you soon anyway due to your downvotes.
