If you still have access to your account, screenshots of the last “offending” post or comment would be great. https://lemmy.world/c/banhammered
On reddit, it was frowned upon to create a new acc after getting banned - and still it was frequently needed to do so, because of some mod gone wild.
The same jerks who have been mods on reddit are now becoming the mods on lemmy. And they still get unlimited power, and still nobody is reviewing their actions.
Now, please explain: why would anybody share such stories of getting banned?
Yes! And the popularity of shadow-banning so there is zero accountability. It’s irritating how unregulated the Reddit moderators are, but I guess you can’t complain when it’s all volunteers. I do somewhat wish they all get replaced by paid employees - then at least users won’t be met with rudeness or unjustified decisions as much.
Nice try mods
I’ve gotten banned from subs I had never even heard of, much less participated in.
It’s ridiculous. There are zero standards for moderation on that platform.
I wish I did that, with all the “”“respect”“” I had in some of them. I decided to be boring and just deleted everything (first editing it to “fuck u/spez” or something like that) and closed the account
you aren’t getting a screenshot, but tldr in politics 2.5 years ago I told a famous transperson who would never read that subreddit running for an elected office to go fuck themselves using their birth name and got permabanned for deadnaming. since that was my most active sub I just didn’t go back to the site in general since there was a good chance something would happen in the us political world and I couldn’t comment. I felt it best to just not be on the site so I wouldn’t be tempted.
and then in the subsequent time the site imploded.
