And any of this still does not justify or answer what happened with r/LemmyMigration as mentioned in the post, they just called the sub as "spam", just to keep it banned for a few hours in the morning and bring it back. And the reality was that the sub has no more than 2 posts, how is that spamming?
The user you linked made a single post and a single comment on the topic. You spread a ton of posts and comments across several subreddits.
I did cross-post it, and I think that is indeed what cross-posting is for.
The subreddit mods might have reported you to the admins as a spammer - that’s what they do when they see someone breaking site wide rules. Like it or not, they are under no obligation to communicate with you about it beforehand. It’s also possible that none of the subreddit mods had an issue with it and you happened to be noticed by an admin who saw you were breaking the rules.
If that's true, they would have also removed my post, even if a one sub's mod team missed it, I cross-posted it to a couple of other subs, did all of them just let my post grow and silently report to Reddit's admins? No, I don't think this is the case.
EDIT: As a long-time reddit moderator, I know what we would typically do if we saw spammers, we can report them as you said, but we also mainly (and first) remove their posts, but that did not happen across any of the subs I cross-posted to. And this does not explain what happened briefly with my r/LemmyMigration sub today morning either.
Again I don't agree with this. Why?
I wouldn't say Lemmy was completely irrelevant, and it was certainly not just me asking devs at r/ApolloApp to consider switching Reddit's APIs to Lemmy's thanks to the recent API news, this was totally relevent, here is another post from another user mentioning lemmy on the r/ApolloApp post.
If these other users mentioning alternatives are not banned, why was I?
Also as mentioned in the 3rd bullet point, if I am not sure, contact the mods right? The very same mods would have very well seen my posts, especially when it had a lot of upvotes, if that was actually considered as spam, they would have removed it.
Thank you for understanding man, I have no ill intention, I made a single post on r/ApolloApp, and cross-posted it to the other third-party app subs, to hopefully reach out to the respective devs so they can possibly consider Lemmy. It was not spamming in my opinion, if it ever was, the mods would have removed those cross-posts right away.
Look, I just wanted to share this post there on r/redditalternatives and delete my account, I obviously didn't wanted to invade ban, now reddit is not even letting me delete my new account, it keeps making me reset password whenever I click at "delete account".
I respect your opinion, but I don't agree. It was a single post on r/ApolloApp that was cross-posted to a few other communities, and if that was considered as spam, wouldn't have the sub's own mods removed it and let me know?
But a complete suspension from the whole website? This was more than just the given reason "spamming".
I am not sure, maybe they realized it's me because others can't seem to see my post, nor can I delete the account.
I deleted that post in like 5 minutes after posting it, because I missed some details that you took advantage of, me cross-posting my post from r/Apolloapp is actually linked in this post. See "Asking multiple third-party app devs consider Lemmy + Made the same post here as well" in this post right here? I would not have included that if I wanted to actually omit out info. Again stop spreading misinformation.
In simple words, I cross-posted what I posted on r/ApolloApp to the other third-party app subs, that is not "spamming", if it was ever considered against the rules, the moderators of these subs would have taken down my posts at the time, well before they grew.
EDIT: Looks like posts from my account can't be seen, but anyways, I have mentioned my cross-posts of my post on r/ApolloApp to the other third-party app subs right here "Asking multiple third-party app devs consider Lemmy + Made the same post here as well" in this post.
So no, I have mentioned all details in this post, I have not missed anything, this person is spreading misinformation about me.
I literally mentioned about this in this post. Can you stop lying and spreading misinformation about me?

So no, I have mentioned all details in this post, I have not missed anything, this person is spreading misinformation about me.
