I wish we could tell whether it was the admins or subreddit moderators using these silencing tactics.
I suppose Discord, GitHub, Steam Forums and YouTube would be better places to bring up the topic.
Lemmy has 462k users and 45k MAU, we could use a bit more content and support for our developers and instance maintainers.
I have blocked /u/safebot, lu/saferbot and /u/safestbot to avoid that problem of being banned on certain subreddits for the arbitrary reason such as posting in the “wrong place”.
