Is there any way to find out if I've been blocked from a community? (linux.community)

Shadowbanning is not a thing here to our knowledge.

It's always a bad feeling when you thought something was wrong with the server and you have NO IDEA you were banned from the entire website without any kind of confirmation, but can somehow still have access to it as if you're logged off.

If anyone suspects anything, they can test it out by messaging me, I don't bite. Give a marco and get a polo. I'm tempted to ask, can those who don't know anything is up really be blamed if they re-register (considering it's evasion)?

[–] Resol@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So it's unknowing evasion.

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago

That's what I'm wondering, if the burden is then put on the evader.

I thought Lemmy was open source? So we would definitely know if shadowbanning was a thing?

Besides that, anyone who runs their own instance would definitely know about shadow banning if it were an option, yeah?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, unless the power to do it is reserved for those at the very top of the hierarchy.

If that came out it seems like it would kill the idea of federated servers running lemmy
