No, no this “sub”, but feddiverse in general. I keep getting banned from some places for no reason, no insults, no replies or not obeying the rules… Mods have too much power.

The whole system is flawed, nobody should be able to ban anyone unless they do something actually terrible like pure hate speech or asking for horrible stuff. I guess asking for a forum system place without the cringe of Tumblr is impossible.

    Anyone who runs a community or their own server SHOULD be able to ban anyone they want. That’s one of the biggest selling points of the fediverse for me. Don’t like how reddit and it’s communities are run? That kinda sucks since there’s not much of an alternative there. Don’t like lemmy.world? Go over to beehaw then. Make whatever subs you miss over there and ban those who try to ruin it for you

      No without a reason though. And I don’t see the point of making stuff nobody will see. Reddit can go fuck itself, that place banned me completely. Imagine that, being IP blocked. How the fuck is that even allowed?

        No instance and no mod has the obligation to let you participate on their instance (as long as you don’t pay them or similar, which you don’t). You are expecting random people who run an instance themselves to tolerate you, which they don’t have to. It’s just like visiting someone’s house. As long as you are inside their house, they can impose rules on you such as “no politics” or “be nice to everyone”. If you don’t follow these rules, they may throw you out. A commercial entity, such as Twitter, Reddit or Walmart won’t ban you for saying something unpopular, but they will if you hurt someone. You can’t expect a private entity to follow your rules.

          That’s not true at all. I got black listed from Reddit. Every time I create a new account I got instantly banned from the app.

            Creating a new account on Reddit is ban evasion, so it’s not a wonder that you get banned using the same IP and device as the other banned users. Personally I wonder what you did to get blacklisted on Reddit, which contains some pretty vile communities.

            Getting blacklisted means that you aren’t welcome on the platform. Maybe you broke some rule in the ToS or someone at Reddit just doesn’t like you. If you think that the ban was unfounded, you have to argue with Reddit’s support or leave for another service. There are some social media networks which are very open in terms of content and behaviour.

              Dude I’m not the only one being banned like that for ridiculous reasons… Or what? Do you think everyone that gets banned is a racist/terrorist/🌈 hater hybrid? Reddit never welcomes back anyone. Fuck them.

                It may be true that you got banned for ridiculous reasons, I have no way of determining that, except by hacking your used instance and Reddit, comparing IPs and other identifiers and identifying your accounts, but that’s too much work and illegal. Or you can provide the account, but that probably won’t help much anyway, as I don’t have easy access to Reddit myself, because of different reasons.

                I don’t think that everyone that gets banned is a racist/terrorist/🌈 hater hybrid. I also didn’t say that you have done that. The ToS encompass much more that just hate speech, you may have started a DDos for example, I don’t know.

                Of course Reddit doesn’t just let you onto their platform again. You may have a chance to get unbanned if you talk to their support, but a permanent ban often stays permanent.

                I agree with your “fuck them”, but for different reasons.

        They absolutely can without reason. The admins own their servers. Just like a person owns a house. If I don’t want you in my house I don’t have to give you a reason as I kick you out. All that being said, I highly doubt you are being kicked out of multiple instances for no reason.
