They ban people very selectively and its always ideologically motivated. There was a period of time where you would get a 3-day ban for just upvoting the wrong posts. So you could lurk and still get banned for some reason. That happened to me multiple times before I decided to delete my account.
I downvoted an unpopular admin comment once and got suspended for 3 days for “brigading”. It was in the negative thousands.
Nevermind I went to the subreddit for announcements, found that heavily downvoted comment, thought it added nothing to the discussion, because it was fundamentally ridiculous in my mind, and they determined that those actions constituted “brigading”.
Me, who only made an account because I was banned from Reddit and has no idea how Fediverse stuff works: whistles nervously
Meanwhile I fled to Lemmy from Reddit because I need a place to show art without being under some platform whose vision and actions I don’t support
Pixelfed is viable option too, i would love to see your art there!
we’re in the same boat haha
No offense, but how do you manage to get banned from Reddit? A certain sub, sure, but the entire website?

Banned from Reddit? What’d you do, tell Spez to go fuck himself?
I told him to fuck himself plenty and never even got aknowlaged
It’s often enough to say a bad word about russians and you get permabanned.
