You are banned again, and have been for a couple of weeks. You accrued a lot of negative rank from the "is (blank) a slur" comments section, but not enough to ban initially. I think generally, you're near the borderline, which is why you drift into getting banned from time to time, as you did when some of your earlier participation aged out of the 30-day window, and it became chiefly that one comments section to go on. I think at the present time, it's mostly that you do not have much participation, outside of that one thread, and so the negative rank from that thread is pushing you over into getting banned.
As with almost everyone who gets banned, it's not your opinions that are the issue. It's your delivery. Here's an example that worked very much against you:
That has nothing to do with the topic at hand. It's just inflammatory for no reason. You didn't answer the question or acknowledge the point that the other person was making. You just tried to continue and inflame the bickering.
You could have posted a calm and reasoned attempt to make the exact same point you were making, acknowledging the question and feeling confident enough in your point of view that you were willing to have it probed and challenged. Instead you opted to ignore the comment, and make a counterpoint while dismissing the question.
Like it says in the FAQ, most of Lemmy is highly tolerant of a wide range of points of view. Like most people, though, they will disapprove across the board of someone who is both unpopular and hostile and argumentative about their unpopular opinion. You can get away with one or the other, but not both.
