No warning, not even a “Don’t do it again email” - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That’s it, gone, banned.
I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that’s banned too. FFS!
No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?
Honest question, is there anything to stop the same thing from happening on Lemmy if the admins of your instance don’t like you?
probably not, but on the fediverse you can be your own admin
nope. but you can use another instance.
there are lots of crazies here too, but so far the mods in charge don’t get too riled up. i’ve only been banned from one community here because my opinions on trans issues are ‘hate speech’ if they are more complex than a bumper sticker slogan, but that’s not particular to that issue. a lot of people have bumper sticker slogan only opinions about a lot of things and think anyone who dares to think the world might be more complex is ‘evil’ and ‘hateful’.
