Ok, I’m sorry for this question, and if this isn’t the right community, please let me know where I should ask it.

So a user in a different community is making a big deal about how terrible I am and that I have been “perma-banned” form an instance.

And he posted this screenshot as “proof.”

But I have no indication I have been perma-banned from any communities or instances and never even heard of this unix instance and I don’t even know how to use unix.

I’ve attached a screenshot. Can you guys better explain to me what this means?

And for reference here is the post of him saying it to me: https://lemmy.world/comment/12216663

I legit have no clue what he is trying to imply. Any pointers?

    I think it’s kind of like an email, weather or text app syncing across devices, only here communities. Please don’t be sorry for the question. Come to Kbin.earth

      So what would I have done that resulted in a permaban if I’ve never even heard of that instance? I have only ever posted here on Lemmy.world.

      The user who posted it is trying to make some point that I am an obvious troll and says that I got perma banned for “toxic” behavior and then posted that screenshot. And I couldn’t really reply, because I had no idea what any of it meant! I asked him to post shots of any comments on that instance that would have resulted in a permaban, but he declined.

      And thank you for the Kbin.earth invite! I have heard others mention it as well, so I will definitely look into it!

        Since instances are federated, posts show up across instances that federate with yours. Please try not to worry about it. All of us project, to greater or lesser degrees.

          Thank you. I was just curious because the guy is really laying into me and laughing about it, but other than his screenshot of an instance I have never heard of, he has no posts to show me that would have gotten me banned. lol

          But hey, probably already spent too much time. I think he may have been behind the whole thing. He’s been following me on Lemmy a few days now. Thank you! You guy are awesome!
