It’s always a bad feeling when you thought something was wrong with the server and you have NO IDEA you were banned from the entire website without any kind of confirmation, but can somehow still have access to it as if you’re logged off.
If anyone suspects anything, they can test it out by messaging me, I don’t bite. Give a marco and get a polo. I’m tempted to ask, can those who don’t know anything is up really be blamed if they re-register (considering it’s evasion)?
Shadowbanning is not a thing here to our knowledge.

So it’s unknowing evasion.
I thought Lemmy was open source? So we would definitely know if shadowbanning was a thing?
Besides that, anyone who runs their own instance would definitely know about shadow banning if it were an option, yeah?
Yes, unless the power to do it is reserved for those at the very top of the hierarchy.
If that came out it seems like it would kill the idea of federated servers running lemmy
