Drag has had a negative experience with the moderation on that community.
So drag got banned due to a moderator misunderstanding a comment drag made on an entirely different community. Drag contacted the mods and cleared up the misunderstanding, and drag is no longer accused of encouraging suicide. However, there are now secret accusations against drag that the moderators won't share and that aren't in the modlog. Banning people for secret reasons and refusing to allow appeals is messed up.
Why bother?
Because people like Catoblepas keep saying they're good mods.
Life's too short; I usually cut my losses and bail.
The problem is that modlogs form a permanent record on Lemmy. Drag didn't encourage suicide. The c/trans people don't believe drag encouraged suicide. That issue was cleared up. But there's still a permanent note saying drag encouraged suicide. It's a lie. They could take back the lie by unbanning drag, and they could even ban drag again with the true reason. But the true reason is a secret, so they're choosing to keep lying. It's messed up.
Give Discuit a try; the mods there are usually reasonable.
