Considering OP didn’t seem to know who banned them
The implication would be that they may, in fact know.
They’re OP, so they opened the discussion, and with all this sockpuppeting and user impersonation going on suddenly that seems to have been provoked by it, the accusation seems suspicious.
The only clearly defined traits between some of the sockpuppets are their attitudes and insults. If you have to begin to claim that they are in on it and that its all an act, then you can go full in and claim that this entire thread is an act to farm drama from some demented troll, and it can go any way you want.
I can’t say OP inspires me with great confidence regarding their innocence, but going by their arguments and the ones that have been brought on, at least the oldest before the troll accounts began infecting the thread, they made some good points. But all good facades do. Their modlog has its fair share of drama.
The jump from that to a sockpuppeteer, well, frankly, I would assume that’s more the realm of karmawhores from my experience on reddit, and there were no shortage of ones who could be quite charismatic and then flip out to be a completely vulgar toxic troll. Those that sockpuppeteer want control of the narrative, and what’s the best position to have control on a place like Lemmy?
I may have my biases, but I would not stack my bets against one single suspect here.
