    May subs use scripts to moderate also which is very lazy. If you want to give warnings that is fine but they shouldn’t be used to ban. The worst are the subs that ban based on you leaving a comment in a sub they don’t like regardless of context. That should violate reddit rules because it blocks users from participating across the app and violates their access without any warning.

      I agree that it’s bullshit to ban someone from your group because they are subbed to a group that you don’t like. For subs that fear brigading by people that disagree with the intent of their group all they have to do is set up a "FLAIR’ policy. You ask the mod for flair. They do a quick check of your history and they allow you access.

      In general if you invest just a bit of time on research you will unfortunately find that one political leaning much more than the other bans people simply because they belong to a group that they don’t like.

        that would never happen on lemmy!

        /s

        source: I’ve been banned from communities I have never visited because the mods said I’m a racist bigot.

        jokes on them, I hate everyone equally regardless of race or gender. I especially hate malicious liars and ethically challenged mods.

          Let’s say it’s less likely on Lemmy. And group bans seem to last for days instead of forever.
