Ban for upvotes is real here? (lemm.ee)

Recently I was simultaneously banned from a huge pile of "communities" with a mod commentary "for upvoting homophobic materials"(or "transphonic", I don't remember exactly). This kind of bans is the very reason why I quit Reddit. Is it normal here, or is it just some feral mod from Reddit?

P.S. Before you sidestep/offtop/ad-hominem here: no, I have nothing against LGBT folk and absolutely not interested in the theme.

.ml is notorious for arbitrary bans so I wouldn't think too much about it. There are active alternatives for most (but probably not all) communities hosted there. Criticizing Russia there is also a great way to get in trouble with the admins because they're explicitly tankies.

lol, no. No one has ever been banned from .ml for "criticizing Russia." Even the communist admins of .ml have no love for modern Russia which is a capitalist country, they just know that throwing every single working class Ukrainian person into the meat grinder is the best way forward. And "tankies," as the above commenter is using the term, are just people who recognize that history existed prior to February of 2022.
