@nutomic@lemmy.ml, a site administrator of lemmy.ml, banned @soferman@lemmy.ml from !worldnews@lemmy.ml. The reason they gave is:

because of your hostile behaviour there. This is something I should have done long ago. The main reason I didnt is that I didnt want to give the impression that you were targeted because of our political disagreements. But the fact is that you are causing too much trouble.

The ban announcement can be found here.

soferman created a post about the question if their ban is justified in !asklemmy@lemmy.ml. They deleted it after I asked them to, because deletion hides the post from front pages but it’s still accessible for review.

      The thing is, I don’t agree with any of the fact checkers posted there, and I do not agree with @soferman@lemmy.ml’s sentiment that RT is 100% shit. The article in question isn’t wrong per se, however I’d also take everything from RT with a grain of salt and fact check myself with different sources.

      The proper behaviour would be posting one or two or three moderate counterpoints against the RT opinion piece and discussing the facts or at least the article instead of the whole news outlet.

      I do not see how this is a bannable offense since I do not know which rules were broken in that instance.
