Someone just replied gaslighting me on a post I made in a community where I'm now banned.

I went to block the community so this stuff wouldn't show up in my inbox anymore with me not being able to reply to it, but the UI tells me the community is "not found?"

It reminds me of a few minutes ago where someone else gave me an abusive reply and blocked me so I couldn't reply back, but it still showed up in my inbox, and there was no warning label to let others know I couldn't reply to the person replying to me. I had a thread here about that, which was removed because I included a screenshot, I think. I was told I could post about it again, but instead I'll just mention it again here now that I'm making this post.

At least when people reply in a community where I'm banned, I'm pretty sure there are visible labels to make it obvious I can't reply for anyone else reading. But it's weird that I can't block the community to avoid dealing with bad faith replies I can't address in my inbox.

Thank you, it needed https:// but then it worked

This was indeed a bug. I just pushed a fix so that it works properly in the next version of piefed.

What was the bug? The OP didn't use any of the 3 forms listed. It wasn' preceded with a bang

[–] wjs018@piefed.social 3 points 3 months ago

It also wasn't working when the ! form was used. Only the full url designation was working (or just a local community name). I updated it so that the other format works as well (also if a user forgets the !).

Are you sure you're not already banned, or shadow-banned?

There are no shadow bans on Lemmy/piefed, and they said in their post they are banned.

Its still a bug.
