To clarify instance is like ( zip, world ect..) and community is like individual ( ex newtolemmy). If community bans me, i could still talk to other instances and communities just not one i am banned from correct?
I guess i am just worried , i got banned from reddit over power tripped mod who didnt like comment . So i am trying find new place to socialize and see things. Still learning how lemmy works though. Is their a place to see on voyager app/lemmy zip how many upvotes their is we have? Or its not Existent ?
Yeah, moderators of a community can only ban you from that community, server admins can only ban you from their instances. The only ones with the power to ban you completely are the lemmy.zip admins.
There are some power tripping happening here as well, but you're a lot less vulnerable. Just don't be a jerk and you should be alright. :)
Karma points is not really meaningful here, so I'm not sure if there's a way to view it from Lemmy.
and then you can just make a new Lemmy account on a different instance
If you are banned by a power tripper mod, report them on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com
