Hey there! I recently got server banned b/c I was sharing a link in men’s communities and I was mistaken for a bot.
I didn’t have a way to respond to the ban. I was just logged out. I didn’t see a link or even which mod did the ban so that I could reply to them, but then I couldn’t get into my account to reply anyway.
It’d be nice to maybe get a “if you think this was in error” email or something.
Although I know that if lemmy was the size of reddit, people would hook that email up to chatgpt, so :/
Anyway, it’d be a nice feature to have. I doubt I’ll need it again, but I was quite confused as to what to do.
The closest GitHub issue I could find regarding this would be: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4572
Doesn’t seem to relate to site bans, though. Also doesn’t appear to be planned in the near future, unfortunately. I agree it would be nice if it emailed the user letting them know.
This is another issue I’ve been patiently awaiting the implementation of: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4699
It’s in the 0.19.5 milestone. It should hopefully help to undo silly mistakes like this in the future.
