It happens on Lemmy all the time. I’ve been shadowbanned at least three times, all on the bigger instances.
I really, really suspect that the big Lemmy instances are being run by Reddit admins or spooks or some-such. They’re moderating their instances in the exact same way Reddit did minus the profiteering. The censorship is the exact same.
Also, the fact that it’s possible to shadowban people and the software itself doesn’t circumvent that by auto-messaging you or putting a banner on the top of your screen when you are banned from an instance or community is reason #589238923 why Lemmy fucking sucks ass.

It’s just the reality of online content moderation. The good mods/admins are people who are passionate about a topic and want to provide a space for discussion and community building. When it comes to the “power mods” or whatever, like those we saw on reddit who moderated 100+ subs, they’re just in it to stroke their own egos.
Lol it literally just happened again now to another account. Site ban with no explanation. Clearly the way link aggregator sites are structured is just authoritarian and we need to create democratic social media.
I believe they’re on pornlemmy.com or lemmy.world. There might be on on lemmynsfw.com! There’s a few, some of which are similarly named, and some of which have the same name but are on different instances.
Usa left ( the liberal one ) it is not the same thing as the classical ( socialist/communist ) left. Liberals are a product of the capitalism. North Korea is a socialist country.
Btw: never seen so many downvotes as in american theads. ( left and right ) you have really an huge hivemind.
It can happen in any lemmy.world community, even if you did absolutely nothing wrong and you wont be told anything, not even that you have been banned or why. You just suddenly can not log in any more and when the ban is over you might even find that all content you ever posted has been deleted and can not be brought back. Lemmy.world admin team urgently needs to improve their banning practice and they should really consider to start answering emails. On the other hand, did I already tell you what a great instance lemm.ee is? They also have a very nice admin team over there …
At no point have I been angry about something here. This is about not putting all your eggs into one Lemmy basket. Especially one with inadequate people running it. The goal of Lemmy is decentralization, not centralization.
Don’t need to know what you think I see your behaviour. And if you want to talk about a post history: lemm.ee/u/Izzy@lemmy.world - just looking how many times you go after sync. Until you got banned and then switched targets to lemmy world lmfao
Because lemmygrad’s practices have always been shit, you know - being a tankie instance. But ofcourse you would be confused, it’s a requirement to sign up there.
lemmy.world is just reddit 2.0 but worse. Make your own instances with whatever rules you want, don’t chain yourselves to the dicks in charge of lemmy.world
