The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

How many violations did you have when they permabanned you? I always dropped the accounts after a 2nd violation that came with a 3 day ban, always challenged that violation, then never came back to check if they overruled their violation or not, presuming they didn't.

Because it's not in good faith, half of them are violations for things that aren't against the rules because the real reason you are getting violated they don't want to cite. Like arguing with Israel enthusiasts that are connected to the US Influence Agencies running contracts for the government.

Some violations are just misunderstandings though, or even truthful things that a sensitive group apparently mass flags. But the majority are bad faith violations. Anyway I cycled through I don't remember, over 6 accounts in 5 years, but my first I had over a year, then I quit for over a year incensed at the bad faith enforcement. I got a new one this spring, then a new one in summer, then a new one in fall, now have none. They don't last long now.

But if you make a new account you don't get the same scrutiny, the account gets hot and after the first violation the second will come soon no matter how much you follow the rules. It is a rigged game.

I have no idea, at the end they were banning me for all kinds of shit. I got banned from a bunch of subs because a mod who handles all of them read a comment that offended her in a forum she didn't even mod, and banned me in all of HER subs for that.

Forget appeals, they weren't listening to us they were only listening to DOGEboy. I tried getting around the permaban with an alias and a new Gmail account, but they caught me after a few months, and banned me again. After that, they banned each subsequent fraudulent account faster and faster. At the end, they would ban me before I made my first comment. I'd go to post it, and get the ban message. Now I got a bunch of throwaway Gmail addresses. I use them to sign up for discounts, and send all my spam to a dead email.

So I came to Lemmy. Not much in the way of my favorite guitar or cat subs, but we'll get there. At least I can give full throat to my hate for MAGA.
