I got permabanned on there after a mod took a “liking” to me over a pretty innocuous comment about a guitar pedal… something like “I dont need that pedal because I have X and it does the same thing”. Faceache followed me around other subs trying to stir shit up with other mods. A couple messaged me to say “we dont want drama, can you stop?” as I hadnt realised he was doing it until then. Others just took it at face value and about a week later I had the above message pretty much word for word.
Yeah or make just make another account on a different instance or the same instance.
Either way Mod abuse is significantly easier to overcome on the Fediverse.

Mods abuse power is a thing, it happens to even here in Lemmy.
Though thankfully in Lemmy normal user has potential power to fight back with their own instance if they wish.
