Mentioning Lemmy once got my 12yr account suspended...

What was the explanation given, or is it just a generic suspension attached to this message?

Completely generic and it just gives you a few reasons your account may have been banned.
- Exactly the same as their subreddit request denials that list about 10 different reasons that might be factors.

Grrr, I'm on a 3rd party Lemmy app for Android. Can't figure out an option to open or zoom on photos like yours.

The main webapp is giving me the same problems. In Chrome I have to right-click on the image and open it in a new tab. I made a posting about it in !lemmy_support@lemmy.ml

As Reddit grew older and larger, there was almost no thoughts on the owner's part that accounts of over 10 years old being banned was practically a lifetime ban. My /u/RoundSparrow account was banned during the outbreak of war in late 2021, early 2022 due to street-gang factions fighting over disinformation... lost my 15 year old account.

Same goes for subreddits. 'Ban evasion' gets you site-wide banned if you create a new account and then after 5 years go contribute in a subreddit you were previously blocked from. It's a dehumanizing experience, there is no room for growth as a community nor individual.

There is no sense that people and society conflicts change and that individual persons can be caught up in trending topics. "leaving Reddit" is one of said battleground trending topics...

How do they determine you evaded anyway?
- Based on my own experience operating websites... my guess is that they keep track of browser strings, IP addresses, and login times - and have some kind of offline job that can study all the same accounts that use the same IP addresses around similar times.
  I suspect when when the admin looks at an account they can see information about your IP address history, geolocations, browsers, and detected secondary accounts.

reddit is now called redShit, because how it's managers try to wreck it. it's why I call twitter shitter fedi will thrive. and destroy every other social platform!

@Wilshire Ironic that the same thread is discussing power-tripping mods.

I see you edited out all the usernames. Is that required on the Lemmy instance you use, or are you just following Reddit's community conventions about not sharing usernames when posting screen shots?

I guess I'm a weird privacy nerd, bc they didn't consent to have their comments reposted here.
