You know, i think the problem is in the numbers. The internet is too vast and the people are too interchangable, i have beed banned for stupid reasons in a few comunities. I think a lot of people knows how easy is to be banned from reddit from certain subreddits for example for...no reason? I personally think that permanent bans should not be a thing if not for really specific, grave and repeatet reasons. timed bans (even really long ones) i think are way more effective for incentivize anyone to change behaviour (creating a new account after begin banned is the preferred solution to a perma ban) We lost a lot of humanity in the process.

I don’t ever recall being banned from anything anywhere. Although I’ve heard how some subs ban you if you’re part of some other specific sub, and that’s weird. That being said, I don’t get the logic of wanting to be part of a community that actively doesn’t want you. If I’d get banned from anywhere, I’d just move on. But I am still 100% supportive of banning as some people have genuinely ruined previously fun communities.

Were these communities using Reddit ? It seems to be basically designed to make netiquette hard (more charitably : they designed it by assuming that people would give up on netiquette, which does seem to happen as a community gets larger). It's one of the reasons I'm boycotting it now, but also being wary of too similar looking alternatives like Lemmy.
