Paul McCartney’s official Reddit account seems to have been banned. The account, u/paulmccartney, had just dropped a set of photos and videos from the first night of his shows at the Fonda Theatre. It went straight into the r/PaulMcCartney subreddit. Then, not long after, the whole thing disappeared.

Right? From the posts on PTB the Fediverse has the exact same issues as Reddit except it's multiplied by all the different instances and the powermods hoarding as many communities as they can grasp in its early creation.

They are quicker to just instance ban and ban across all communities than Reddit ever was.

I’ve never been banned from any instance or even community here on Lemmy. Every time I see people complain about it, I can’t help but wonder what they got banned for.

I got banned from one community ages ago for "being a terrible person". But that was only once, and I post a lot everywhere, so it might just be an outlier mod. IMHO the important difference is that I can't get banned from Lemmy entirely for saying "Luigi Mangione".
