UPDATE: The Unbans are showing up on modlog now.:

~~I have traded the month-long ban in the many communities for a 6-day ban in vegan@lemmy.dbzero.com, which is a more reasonable ban~~. this ban has also been lifted now. I appreciate the cooperation from the mod over this misunderstanding.
So it seems i've gotten a month-long ban in..... over 30 communities across lemmy.dbzer0.com, sopuli.xyz, lemmy.ca, programming.dev, and several others, for this comment here.
Screen cap of comment for posterity:
It's directly replying to a comment saying they can't imagine why anyone thought otherwise about fish feeling pain, which is reasonable. You might notice the quotation marks, because it's satirizing people's mental gymnastics about fishes' pain perception. It was meant in jest, exclusively.
It seems likely that a single mod took this joke wrong and chose to ban me on every community they have control over.
I mean plants do communicate distress, so I can see that. While we haven't evolved to live solely on sunlight, suffering will happen. That we are aware and only take what's needed, with respect seems correct.
You don't even need plants with feelings. Grain fields carry all the field animals like rabbits and rodents. Those animals flee from cleared land into long grass
So as combine harvesters clear the fields the animals are concentrated into smaller and smaller areas
Harvester operators call the last acre 'the bloody acre' due to the number of animals cut up by the harvester blades
You can't eat without animal deaths unless you go to the extreme of just eating fruit you pick yourself
Also the monoculture fields are destroying the land. We need permaculture solutions and there isn't a way to do that without animals to fertilize the land
And whos to say if that means something less then how we feel. Plants are a living being and should be givin as much or as little respect as anything else.
Rocks and water too, imo. Different discussion, different place. Goodnight everyone.
