That is EXACTLY what happened. And whats worse is there are people on Lemmy, who left before that started, who say things like “nobody is banned for nothing. You probably deserved it.”
And yet I’ve had countless encounters who seemingly fit the same criteria.
Long time regular user, didn’t buy the reddit IPO, many were offered but not all. Then one day, permanently suspended and all appeals fail. Most instantly, but none so far taking longer than a day.

That’s been happening for a while, even before AI came in. Fascist mods pretending to be on the spectrum had the same result: bizarre, contorted interpretations of rules, selectively applied with zero-tolerance. Always in subs with a population of fascist mods, and always applied against people making anti-fascist comments. What a fucking coincidence.
