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).
It’s in lemmy code since 0.19.5, kinda, but only triggers local community bans after a local site ban.
There’s plenty of weird (to me) federation behavior.
Mostly… an instance admin cannot remove a comment from a local user if it’s on a remote community. I mean… you can, but it doesn’t federate to the remote community.
There’s a few other things that are counterintuitive
