Looks like r/Lemmy was banned?

Don’t really frequent it all that much. Not sure when this happened

crossposting this here cause at least I know I'm not subscribed to !reddit@lemmy.world so I didn't see this until I noticed it myself and then did a search on Lemmy

Amazed it existed at all. Reddit has been aggressive about censoring out the existence of rival platforms for years now.
- The big sub r/RedditAlternatives is untouched. This is very likely because of the only moderator's suspension.
  
  Ha. Ironic.
Fixed https://www.reddit.com/r/Lemmy2
- Happy cake day!
The sub creator got suspended. Checked the Wayback Machine on their profile reveals they are very vocal about certain political issues in Lebanon (in April 2025, last archive). There is a very high chance of something related to that.
- Never knew the suspension of a sub creator (if they are the only mod) leads to a ban of the sub.
  I vaguely see the logic, but surely it would be better first make a call for new mods
They're cracking down hard! Gotta be aware of shadow removing.
