When it comes up, which isn’t too often, I find I’m not really the model archetypal .ml user in outlook and have run afoul of a few people that took exception to that there, but that came in the form of angry comments about the thing I said and either the literal meaning of it or sometimes what they took it to mean, and for a forum that seems entirely appropriate. I was briefly banned from one of the communities there once too because I was accused of being a bot. Funnily enough I actually didn’t notice that and it had been overturned by the time found out there was a modlog and figured this out.
It would be hard for me to know obviously, but based on this experience, it doesn’t seem to me that they’re particularly ban-happy, particularly not instance wide. Kind of a bummer that happened to you. I’m fairly happy basing my account there and speaking my mind when I see fit. I do pick up the prevailing winds and can accurately presume what would and wouldn’t be taken well, but I don’t generally feel a need to self-censor or worry about bans.
My ban has been lifted now. Are you able to tell me how to find the modlog? I’d like to see what they actually banned me for. There was a point where I said I thought Russia should be broken up and given to it’s neighbors and they started responding by claiming I wanted nuclear war and posting pictures of Hitler. It was pretty over the top. I am wondering if that was what got me the ban. When I log in to my ml account I can’t find anything, no message or anything, that says what the ban was for.
I’m sure I remembered it being easier, but basically if you access the Lemmy instance in question via a browser rather than an app (might work on apps too but not mine), there’s a modlog link at the bottom of the page which shows you the mod activity generally, and then on that page you can filter by user and type the name of the user who’s modlog you’d like to see.
Thanks! It says I broke rule 1: “No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.” However I don’t see where I did that. Re-reading all the comments I don’t say anything like any of those.

If someone sees where I did it I will admit that I was wrong. I’m not above admitting I’m wrong, but I don’t see it.
