    Your story has happened to a ton of other people.

    They don’t care about banning folks because as a social media site all they care about are numbers. Facebook’s stock was rocked a while back when its member count went down. Reddit’s number go up because people who get banned usually just start a new account. To Reddit management, that now means they have 2 isers when they try to sell ad space. It’s all a big scam because they are trying to drive up their numbers for their upcoming IPO.

    I just don’t know how Lemmy works with bans and stuff.

    One of my first posts on here was one where I hoped that Lemmy moved to a temporary-only ban system. Except for egregious cases (endless spam, etc), ban someone for 6 or 12 hours and that’s it. By that time most people have cooled off and most threads have died down by then. If the person was trying to be a troll, the ship has passed, and people’s attention have moved to the next hot topic.

      Very good points I hadn’t considered. I should think though they’d be best served not perma-banning that email address in those regards. Simply filter out any posts I try to make to that sub, and if I really wanted to post to that sub THEN I would make a new email, and new reddit account. That would yield two accounts.

        I’m so sick of Reddit BS. I just wish some of the more esoteric subs here had more traffic because they either don’t exist at all, or they’re as good as dead.
