Could someone help me, I don't even understand how this could be interpreted as trolling

I'm just baffled that i've been banned for this, I just wanted evidence that chinese elections are being rigged, and explained why that evidence was insufficient, and what evidence would be??

It's your unwillingness to even try to understand. There's a form of trolling, sealioning, where you ignore the validity and implications of valid points to keep the other saying the same thing until it all becomes frustrating noise. Squid's default MO.
YBA. You for giving Squid the opportunity to look right for once, and Squid because [gestures widely].
- Holy hell I didn't realize they made that troll a mod...

  I genuinely don't know what you're saying I didn't understand.
  
  Exactly.

I'm an Admin for 4 different public Fediverse instances, and I've banned fewer than 5 people for trolling in over 2 years.
I agree that you were trolling. I would have banned you, as well, for sealioning.
- You must have one gigantic blocklist
- I agree that you were trolling. I would have banned you,
  Than you are part of the problem and you shouldn't be a mod.
- How do you tell the difference between a sealion and someone who is genuinely searching for evidence for a claim?
  
  We use the L.I.G.M.A. system

PTB. The mod is banning someone because they're not backing down. I didn't see it as trolling to insist on the evidence of rigging. I do think you're incredibly naive about manufactured consent, but I don't think you're trolling.
Libs on lemmy are too trigger happy about anyone not immediately going jumping on a China hate bandwagon, and see every debate on the subject as trolling.

  This. The whole thing was fucking ridiculous and the guy who banned him shouldn't be a mod.
