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).
Bans do notify, I believe, if you’re on the same instance as the community.
I don’t think so, my account and the community in question are both on Lemmy.world and I never got any ban notification.
Edit, nope, doesn’t notify. Just made a community on sh.itjust.works and banned my account there. The ban is shown in the sidebar but it doesn’t give a notification when it happens, only indication when it is active.
