I say this in the hopes Lemmy does not have them. Being too in favor of punching fascists should not result in a person being unable to participate in one of the largest forums on the internet. In fact, I’ll go out and say, any behavior that would normally be bigotry or authoritarianism is immediately justifiable if its against fascists. Yes, I am venting because my 9th account got shadowbanned for ban evasion, how can you tell? If a person gets banned, they’ll probably delete the account, When you then ban the new ones for evasion that is impossible to appeal, obvious fucking trap
They’re not looking for users that rock the boat
I just politely asked a mod to clarify a sub rule and got an unappealable sitewide ban for it
Reddit was dead long before this though, even before the 3rd party app ban. I just wasn’t willing g to accept it.
Good riddance honestly
I quoted a site rule in my appeal prob why they said no lmao
I’m really doubting this. Mods don’t have the ability to ban you sitewide, that’s only admins. And as an ex mod who was routinely harassed through modmail, they don’t often ban unless it’s death threat or continuous harassment levels of interaction.
For instance, we had one user who didn’t like being banned for their racist comments, so started being racist in modmail in response. It took four months of report/mute before they finally caught a ban.

I was on reddit for over 10 years, the ban message I received wasn’t from the mod of the sub or even from the sub itself, it was from reddit admin claiming mod harassment
I was sitewide banned from reddit and never the sub
I was direct but polite, I didn’t understand why and my appeal and messages to reddit admin have gone unanswered
I’ve been banned lots of times before by overzealous mods and even sitewide banned with false reports from trolls but a simple appeal always sorted it out in less than 24 hours
Not this time, it’s been over a month and I’ve heard nothing. Time to move on
I’d love to even get a reply from support. I just got the same “reason” on all my accounts to check my other accounts for details on why - not one has it. Haven’t ever gotten a reply from support.
I could understand if there was some reasoning, or even something temporary with some reasoning. But that sucks so hard *that bots or admins can just decide “you don’t get to participate anymore despite your good standing,” arbitrarily and without recourse.
