UniversalMonk has been evading the a ban on him by posting from new accounts on !pleasantpolitics@slrpnk.net. That’s ban evasion, which on most instances leads to an account-level ban, as far as I know. The relevant account is UniversalMonk@lemm.ee.

I’m not sure how to notify admins on lemm.ee, so I’m posting here. If ban evasion justifies an account ban on lemm.ee, then it’s time. If there’s a better place to send this note, let me know, and I’ll do that instead.

    There is no such thing as ban notifications on Lemmy, but the bot’s bans are public in the mod log like any other community moderator bans. This seems like a reasonable design as notification spam by a bot is significantly worse than not knowing about being banned from a community you are not using anyways (and if you have been using it, then the ban is easily noticeable and doesn’t need a notification either).

      yeah, lemmy doesn’t have ban notifications (afaik anyway).

      But there’s a bot out there banning people from the outside. If that’s going to be a part of lemmy, then it damn well needs a higher standard

      Just curious, and not to beat a dead horse, but if Lemmy can give us notifications that comments are removed, why can’t it do a simple ban notification as well?

      Because I always get notified when a post or comment has been removed.

      Seems simple enough make the removal notification that led to banning something as simple as “Your comment has been removed for xxxx reason. And now you are banned from the community due to reasons xxxxx.”

      I realize that my particular situation here has been resolved and we can move on, but I’m just curious if the lack of banning notifications is a software issue or if it’s a philosophical issue for Lemmy and the fediverse.
