I was not posting on their instance communities much recently after I promised to pause. The first modlog warning did not reach my inbox on a mobile app using Piefed.ca then the head admin responds a bit too aggressively then makes 3-day warning bans from communities that they personally moderate.
Original warning that I was not notified about in my inbox:
Callout by top admin of Beehaw:
3-day warning bans.

I’d think it’s common sense to set a dang number so you can easily point to it and say: you broke this very clear rule on the max frequency of posts.
“When metrics become targets they are no longer metrics” /s
I wouldn’t say this is power tripping bastards. They communicated, they’re in a dialogue with you, and they did a very temporary ban inline with their communication with you.
Par for the course for Beehaw, they’ve been known to be overbearing and controlling, apparently even when it isn’t any of their business. PTB.
i don’t think they called you out. they just made a request that you not flood the instance with multiple posts.
and the temp ban has expired already. i don’t believe this to be a power trip.
The instance banning of someone for being active outside their instance communities is not okay when I followed the callout.
I don’t know.
Beehaw has always been kind of their own thing, especially defederating LW and SJW.
I wouldn’t call it power tripping to want to have a smaller amount of posts per day.
!technology@lemmy.zip is probably a good alternative if you want to avoid the over-centralization on LW. Blahaj should have another one for LGBTQ+
It’s okay to want less posts per day on their instance but it’s not okay to instance ban someone for being active outside their communities.
You check the pages of the related comms:
https://beehaw.org/c/technology
https://beehaw.org/c/lgbtq_plus
There’s only 1 post from me on !lgbtq_plus@beehaw.org on the front page.
It looks like I was instance banned:
You’re better off off there
YDI. avg 25 posts a day just on this account is spambot behaviour. how are you called sunshine when you never see any
Everyone complains that Lemmy doesn’t have enough content. So you’re mad when people post content?
IMHO, the more posts, the better as long as it’s not advertising.
everyone
not me
mad
not me
content
it’s a tangent i don’t fancy going on but this everything-is-content must-consume-content view of things is not very healthy imo
25 posts is relatively normal for social media usage
Might not be too unusual if it included replies/comments but this is just top level posts
