On reddit, it was frowned upon to create a new acc after getting banned - and still it was frequently needed to do so, because of some mod gone wild.
The same jerks who have been mods on reddit are now becoming the mods on lemmy. And they still get unlimited power, and still nobody is reviewing their actions.
Now, please explain: why would anybody share such stories of getting banned?
Yes! And the popularity of shadow-banning so there is zero accountability. It's irritating how unregulated the Reddit moderators are, but I guess you can't complain when it's all volunteers. I do somewhat wish they all get replaced by paid employees - then at least users won't be met with rudeness or unjustified decisions as much.
