Have you earned yourself the lemmy.ml ban badge for having eyes ears and a tongue?
Nobody asked me but I got banned from feddit once, and from ml with almost every account if I used it long enough but I keep coming back because they still have some good communities
Those eyes, ears, and tongue belong to the collective!
No, but my previous account on lemm.ee was banned from Hexbear after, IIRC, one or two comments.
It also took me an entire one comment to get banned from /r/sino back in the day. My comments on /r/conservative also got deleted, wonder why.
