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
Permabans are also a thing here. I kind of agree with you that there’s not really a need for them except maybe in very rare circumstances.
Each instance and community has its own moderation policy. Maybe there is one that does not do permabans but I have not heard any explicit discussion around this.
