Edit: @Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com Contacted the moderator who did it on my behalf who admitted that this was a mistake, he sends his apologies. This incident though does highlight though the need for ban notifications as well as the need for a modmail system to contact community and site moderators.

I have left the post up with the original contents bellow as I feel it would be wrong to delete the post and rob people of the valuable information it contains, both in the post itself and in the comment section.


I messaged a mod from the community, not sure if that was the one who did it but this was weird. Not sure if it’s power-tripping probably a mistake but it’s certainly weird and seems like a knee jerk reaction since I didn’t have activity in those last 10 days (I checked for votes too). Also no other bans in the modlog for “sock puppet account” so I don’t even know why I would be singled out.

Why would someone think I was a sock puppet account? Because I have multiple accounts on different instances? Really weird…

Account is @Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world, I didn’t post from that account since I try to keep each account on each separate instance (helps prevent accidental vote manipulation).

    News comm going really crazy lately. Especially with having sudden new rules like you can’t question mod actions in comments or ask why something was removed

      We also have a rule that you cannot use an alt account to evade a temporary ban, which you did.
