Ok, I’m sorry for this question, and if this isn’t the right community, please let me know where I should ask it.

So a user in a different community is making a big deal about how terrible I am and that I have been “perma-banned” from an instance.

And he posted this screenshot as “proof.”

But I have no indication I have been perma-banned from any communities or instances and never every heard of this unix instance and I don’t even know how to use unix.

I’ve attached a screenshot. Can you guys better explain to me what this means?

And for reference here is the post of him saying it to me: https://lemmy.world/comment/12216663

I legit have no clue what he is trying to imply. I’ve also crossposted to no stupid questions community. Any pointers?

    Someone mentioned that any owner of an instance can ban me. Is it possible that the guy who is showing me this “proof,” yet declined to show me any posts, actually owns an instance, and then banned me. Then returned to magically say “Gotcha!”?

    Cuz he has been following me for several days and has had some of his comments removed for civility. So I am wondering if it’s some weird persona vendetta. Our conversation is in the thread, but i am beginning to think this is all a fack gotcha to weirdly make him think he has got me or something. I don’t know. I love Lemmy, but man some of these posters…lol

      I like the platform, but some of the users really need to get out more, they get hung up on some ridiculous things.

      And Linux. Holy shit do they love talking about Linux. They run Linux, by the way.

        I was going to get into Linux right after I retired, but then decided un-retire and went back into the workforce to be an elementary teacher’s aide.

        But when I retire again in another year or so, I am gonna look into the the whole Linux thing. Right now I’m Mac-based, so hopefully it won’t be so hard. But I actually can’t wait to learn all about it!
