According to the modlog for !worldnews@lemmy.ml, @yogthos@lemmy.ml (display name: ☆ Yσɠƚԋσʂ ☆) was banned by the instance admin @davel@lemmy.ml on March 20, 2024 08:52:45PM for "spam". Upon examining the most recent 119 posts in that community (6 pages from https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews?dataType=Post&sort=New to https://lemmy.ml/c/worldnews?dataType=Post&pageCursor=Pc99aa0&sort=New), I have found that yogthos is indeed the top poster in this past week, contributing to 19 out of 119 or almost 16% of the posts, with the second most posts coming from @naturalgasbad@lemmy.ca at 15 posts.
Just being the top poster over the past week or so doesn't make someone a spammer, if we examine yogthos' recent 19 posts, we can find that they vary in topics and sources. I hope that davel or someone can explain this ban or undo it if it was a mistake.
