Even if there was an appeals process this would still be a bad move. Ban appeals mediated by megacorporations have never ever ever ever worked and never will.
A more sensible solution that accomplishes the same goals would be for server owners to be able to opt-in to a global banned users list, which means that if they struggle to moderate effectively, this could save them some time. But I don't believe that is what's happening here.
According to this info it - apparently - does not affect Java edition and account bans can only be imposed based on your activity in featured public servers. If your account is banned you cannot connect to any server.
That’s fair, I guess I just meant they haven’t, to my knowledge, provided any means of addressing it if your account is wrongfully targeted and banned. nothing :blob-no-thoughts: (I think I had heard that in a video somewhere back when the news first broke, I assume it was either Ill informed or they added the appeals since)
These tech companies always have horrendous “customer support”(for lack of a better term) for situations like this. Or at all really

Seems the changes were blown way out of proportion by the Gamers again. Unsurprising.
Java edition could never be effected anyway since modded private server files exist which would easily remove whatever ban feature could be added.
