    Mostly yes: In a sense, doing anything “permanently and forever” is a big deal. People can change and grow, and a full permanent ban without any opportunity for appeal seems harsh. Very few things should warrant a permaban: one example that comes to mind is willfully attempting to circumvent a temporary ban. Posting spam, too.

    Also no: Lemmy isn’t and shouldn’t be a critical part of anyone’s life. If you were forever banned from it, maybe it’s okay.

      Just salty about an askr*ddit ban lol

      I always want to spite them by evading but they catch me each time

      I got banned permanently because of a horrible mental health episode like really I’m not like that 24/7 and my normal post history showed that. Now if I was brand new and said that stuff I think a warning or one week ban is better

        banned permanently because of a horrible mental health episode

        You do not get banned because of your health.

        You get banned because of the stuff you posted.

        (Maybe it’s a good idea to not post stuff while you have that episode)

        I suppose they have yo deal with a lot of stuff so after a while they just can’t differentiate anymore and it’s easier to just ban people than. Being considerate takes effort.
