It is not often necessary. There are many things I’ve done on Lemmy that would’ve granted me a permaban had i done them on Reddit. For example, I’ve made a joke about someone killing themselves on both lemmy and Reddit. I was banned from the sub on Reddit, while my comment was only removed here on Lemmy.
Now i know next time not to make that joke. A permaban wasn’t necessary.
Harsh? Yes.
Necessary? Often.
