      Shadowbanning doesn’t exist here 😁 and karma has no effect. Most apps will not even display your total karma, by design

      Admins have a lot of power, they’re running the software and often paying for upfront server costs. The good thing is they only have power over their slice of the broader lemmy.

      If you don’t like how your admins run the instance you can just make an account on another. Account transferring isn’t a thing yet but there are tools to transfer your subscriptions and blocks.
