They probably banned you for something that happened at least 24 hours before the ban hit because they're just slow. My account was banned a week after I had replied to a racist troll trying to figure out if they were being racist so that I could ban them on my subreddit, and my comment was flagged as racist. I had already banned the user and hidden the thread, but that wasn't good enough for Reddit and I needed to go.
I don't think you understood my point when it comes to statistics and significance. I wasn't talking about how many people didn't vote, I was talking about how the people who did vote is a monumental sample size for the entire population. So if the entire population did vote the outcome would be very similar to what the sample size predicted with their actual votes.
Unfortunately uncommitted voters would not have changed the results pretty much at all. The representation in the voting population is a highly significant percent of the population as far as statistics are concerned.
If there was 100% voting then statistically they results would be identical to the point of no changes considering the sample size of people who did actually vote versus the whole population.
Yeah I've been in this experience. One of my accounts got Perma banned. I was moderating my subreddit and trying to clarify if a bigot was being bigoted so that I could ban him without remorse. Apparently my clarification sounded bigoted so Reddit banned me with no recourse.
I was never able to talk to a human being, all attempts at trying to restore my account were met with computer no's. Even my whole mod team messaging reddit on my behalf got struck down with automated responses.
I logged in to my second account, got that re-added to the mod team, and continued on. Apparently their bans are as pointless as they are confusing.
Mbin should be merged back into lemmy. It's a successful experiment and the microblogging portion is a killer app... But it'll never get the volume of subscribers to matter
Does running through multiverses until he finds one with said checking account already opened in his name count?
