You can be banned for a lot more than just being a dick. And the average user on the platform kind of demonstrates that that’s not really, in and of itself, the primary criteria used to ban people.
Asking in the wron g place
Mention Lemmy or insult Spez. That way you’ll just be regular banned.
Shadowbans are sitewide and almost always automates actions to counter spam.
Your chances are better if you avoid doing “spam-like” things:
If you are unlucky and caught in a false positive, there is an /appeals form that is usually helpful.
You can also get shadowbanned on a specific sub. But I’m guessing OP is asking about sitewide

Not using reddit pretty much guarantees it.
