I got banned from Hexbear (in my opinion!) unreasonably, cannot appeal the ban or anything because my account is based in Lemmygrad

NOTICE:

I realise now that the main problem here was my post on Hexbear, It was shitty and failed to get across my actual views. I still wish I could've been allowed to properly discuss it, but I understand the decision to ban me. Looking at my original post, I can very much get why that is ban worthy, even though that wouldn't be my decision. What happened happened, as much as I'd like to further expand upon my views, I'll try not to waste your time by trying to explain my views that I fully do not understand, that I've developed throughout the process of arguing with people in the comments. I feel silly for making this such a big deal, sorry. You could look through my replies here to see a further expounded on version of this post here. It really boils down to misunderstanding and semantics, I agree with most of the substance of the comments on this post on their face, it is just that often argued in favour of things I didn't mean to. My view of anti-Semitism boils down to, yes it is present, but it is not systemic. As I already mentioned, you can look through the replies if you want to see more of that

Sympathy for your loss. I hope they unban you (don't make the same mistake though, you have to be clear you're talking of 'anti-semitism' in relation to Israel)
If you're talking about Israel, I'm sure they don't give a shit
In the brief period where the post was up, I did not receive any real counter arguments, only people flinging insults who clearly either did not understand the text I wrote or didn’t even read through it. I was then of course banned. I expected the forum named @askchapo to be open to discussion.
Really? Let's see the comments

So far you got only 2 unpolite and uninformed comments...
- Glass half full or half empty is the question here. Hexbear is usually really nice and I didn't expect my post to be received the way it was. I understand the original post was bad, but I wish is would've been given a bit of a chance. I understand the mods choice, but I feel it was done out of misunderstanding. I didn't portray my views properly at all leading to people to think I was saying things I really didn't mean to. I improved on it here and could've done better still as I find myself in the replies here. Don't wanna drag you into a long argument, don't feel obliged to respond
  
  Request [to be unbanned] declined by simple majority vote.
  Reason: Anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity on hexbear. User in question, citing the post linked, chosen of his own free will to state that he understands the reason why he was banned but considers the decision as unreasonable instead of simply apologizing for making anti-semetic [sic] remarks on hexbear.
  Welp, I tried.
  ETA: I actually kind of regret doing this, because it brought up unwanted memories of when I tried to politely and compassionately appeal bans on other social media only to stay banned anyway. I know that that sounds like a trivial inconvenience but memories like these can sometimes visibly inhibit my mood for hours.
  
  I thought I did apologize though. I said that I still would've preferred if I wasn't banned, but I understood why a ban had been levied against me. I guess I didn't get that across well enough then
