I don't know where else to ask this. What do the various symbols I've seen around mean?

Obviously I understand the trash can icon, but I didn't delete my own comment so is that telling me the mods or the original poster deleted my comment? Does the symbol on the right mean they blocked me?

I tried finding info anywhere in the sync app and looked for Lemmy FAQ pages but none of them had anything on the symbols anywhere.

Not too sure what the icons mean tbh. Just looking at your profile, it looks like you were banned from !usa@lemmy.ml and your comment on this post was removed by the moderator. According to their modlog it's because of Rule 1 and will last 30 days.
- Rule 1 for Lemmy overall or that specific sub? Cause I don't see any rules listed under the "about" tab. I didn't break rule 1 as its written as far as I can tell. So that just feels like mod abuse because they didn't like what I said or something.
  I also didn't get any sort of notification for this temporary ban. Is that intentional? It was simply giving me "network errors" whenever I tried to upvote something and the feedback for the user was very unclear.
  I know I'm asking a lot of questions but can anyone see the ban logs for everything? I am obviously very new and still trying to figure out how this whole shindig works.
  Edit: Thank you for the info. It was very thorough and you didn't have to do all those links and everything. But it was very appreciated.
  
  Lemmy does not send any notifications for moderator actions.
  
  If that's intentional that seems like a bad idea. Just gonna lead to confusion on the users end and more posts asking why things are "broken".
  
  I believe it's just for that sub or instance (not sure), but you can still access the rest of lemmy. Honestly considering the instance, it's a blessing in disguise
