OP didn't say they engaged in no activity, they just didn't know why they got banned. OP probably did/said all sorts of things that would have justified it.

Anyway I've never felt it's a requirement to have a LinkedIn profile to get hired as a developer, so the post as a whole is strange to me.

Why do you think this? Misguided/buggy/flawed algorithmic bans seem quite commonplace these days, and increasingly companies have too few humans to even respond to the actual inquiries that result from them, much less review every instance of it happening.

There’s just no way to know why OP got kicked out. The point is, we can’t assume it’s evil corporation at it again, because we don’t know what happened.

Well, it is an evil corporation. Whether that particular action was evil is a different question.

It's possible, but I felt like voicing the general concern regardless because at least some of these random permaban stories seem to be true.
