Maybe fix the problem where a lot of users can't post half the time they're on

OKAY I didn't think this was unique to me. I seem to have been muted for pretty innocent stuff? I have been muted at least 6 times. The posting bans have lasted anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks. It's very frustrating when you type out a well thought-out comment, click to submit, and it never posts. 😑 I try to select all & copy my comment before I submit.

If I know some mod has muted me, I just comment 'A' on random posts to see if I'm allowed to speak again. If it doesn't post successfully, ban remains in effect. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

It almost has to be a muting ban of sorts, because I can't post on my main but on a secondary I can post just fine. I haven't left Lemmy (yet...) because I'm not going back to Reddit & aside from this, Lemmy is a decent substitute. Lemmy has been really frustrating, trying to be a member of the community. Forced into being a lurker six different times by some anonymous coward(s). Not knowing when your ban will be lifted.

If my theories are correct, I'd like a little more transparency in the process. Who issues the muting bans, WHY, and when the talking ban will expire. It can be a simple, private direct message. "Butthurt Bob has muted you for: hurting his fee-fees. Butthurt Bob's ban will last 6 days."

Both of you seem to be on Lemmy world, is there a technical issue on their side?

About your last point, you should be able to see exactly that in the modlog (orange button in community sidebars)

That is potentially an excellent point I haven't considered; my alt was on Lemmy.zip . Idk.

I am a Sync user, idk, if it happens again (which it probably will!) I will do some digging.

All instances and communities have public modlogs, that display all moderator actions, the mod that did them, and why, if they provided a reason (I always do).

Thunder recently got support for accessing them, but you can always find them in the webUI in a browser.
