There was a post the other day about a "powermod" from reddit who was doing the same thing with lemmy communities - snatching up dozens of names and squatting on them. Folks are rightly asking for restrictions on the number of communities any one person can mod, along with other safeguards to prevent power-tripping.

Is this what leads to β€œyou’ve commented in so we’re gonna ban you from ”?

I've never encountered that myself. What communities are you commenting in that you're getting banned elsewhere for it?

I know a lot of the parenting subs would ban you if you commented in r/childfree. Albeit, childfree is a toxic sub and a lot of the people there would subscribe to parenting subs just to troll them.

Happened a couple of times on Reddit. For example, banned from r/Stepparents for participation in r/AmITheDevil. Just randomly messaged and told.
