Perman sub ban because part of another subreddit
Perman sub ban because part of another subreddit
I left Reddit because I got perma sub banned for being part of another sub. Which had no correlation to the other one. After this happening twice I said screw it. Fediverse it is for me
You're viewing a single thread.
That's against the mod guidelines, as you can't ban people based on what they do/don't in other subreddits, even when it would be sensible to do so. Sadly, the mod guidelines are toilet paper.
Something similar could theoretically happen in the Fediverse, but usually this is handled through defederation instead.
Hence why I’m here now instead. Use Reddit on my laptop every once in a while as a search engine. I figured it might be against some rules. Totally ridiculous. Screw Reddit.
Welcome here. If there is one thing that Lemmy differently than Reddit, it's power tripping mods. If someone bans you from their instance, you can still go to another one. Hopefully you will find one that fits with your expectations in terms of moderation.
Same goes for communities, some are quite heavily moderated, some are less. It's up to you to find the ones that fit with you.
Also, as a new joiner, you should probably have a look at !newcommunities@lemmy.world
I find the mods are much the same. There are examples in this thread of mods doing the described behavior
As I said, the difference here is that mods and admins have limited power.
There is some power tripping, but thanks to the public modlog, they get called out, and users move to other communities. Takes a while, but better than Reddit
