I haven't figured out the angle yet, but I suspect it's a shadow ops to cultivate the biggest known blocklist on the fediverse. Please share your experiences and conspiracy theories.

The temporary bans are clearly to allow identification of repeat offenders, so that they can be psychologically profiled, to build a block list that targets a very distinct kind of user.

Isn't it more likely that it is just the mods issuing users a temporary punishment for breaking the rules hoping they learn?

Again, as I said before, unless you have a specific reason as to why they would be doing that, you can safely assume that they are not.

Are you a plant?

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 4 points 5 months ago

No, I am not a plant, I am a human being.

Sounds to me like you can't handle the truth.

Legally they have to tell me if they are.
