You need multiple accounts to work around instance defederation.
On centralized platforms banning multiple accounts make sense if one account was banned, but on the fediverse it makes zero sense.
Indeed, I don't get the reasoning, except if the previous account was banned
Also in the early days content federation was very poor (it still is sometimes) and multiple accounts were a necessity because if the instance federation was broken or someone wasn't subscribed to that community on your end it just didn't exist, was inaccessible, or was completely empty. So it makes sense to have multiple accounts.
Also instances do die. Many of the instances that started up when Lemmy first became popular aren't around anymore. Big players still are but the really small no-name ones like (i.e Lemmy.ninja, unilem.org, etc.) don't exist anymore. Having multiple accounts safeguards against that by having redundant ones that will still be there when and if the others disappear.
Calling out bad faith. And havibg multiple accounts. Nothing bannable according to their rules. Looks like mods looking for a reason to ban.
Seems to be a reasonable reaction to me.
having multiple fediverse accounts is not bannable, and ad hominem is itself bad faith. calling it out is not.
Childish drama. On your part.
that's what this post is, but it's not what caused the ban
Ydi, if only for the crappy post itself
This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.
Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.
Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.
Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.
Some acronyms you might see.
