Mods and admins are connected across instances on Lemmy. I have seen someone get banned from their own instance for posting something, that wasn’t even against the rules, on another instance. These power structures are not transparent and can bite you any time.

Mods can be very ban happy around here as well.

Agreed. I highly recommend choosing a different instance for your account.

The mods on !worldnews@lemmy.world and other communities routinely ban posters that don’t violate the rules, just because they don’t like their political opinion.

See !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com for some discussion around mods‘ abuse of power.

They also have radar reflective paint.
