Just got a nearly 10 year old Reddit account permabanned because someone I share my computer with commented on a sub that banned me.
The admins didn't even have a look at my first appeal, sending an automatic message instead and won't have a look at any further appeal, so here I am.
Welcome, good choice with Jlailu, it's a great instance! !forumlibre@jlai.lu for chill discussions
I mean I picked the one that was labeled as "french" out of simplicity ahah
This is the way.
People talk about decision paralysis when joining a Fediverse instance but I quickly spotted a UK one, signed up and never looked back.
I got sitewide banhammered from Reddit for my absent-minded use of the report button instead of using modmail
Even though I was polite in the message Reddit claimed it was mod harassment
It's been over a week and they still haven't responded to my appeal
It won't let me submit another appeal because it says I've already submitted one
I've been on reddit for over 10 years, seems like an odd way to end it.
I'll have to admit though, Lemmy is pretty sweet. I even got Sync back!
Yeah I left reddit when the API thing stopped me using sync. It was the final straw. Like you, I'd been involved for over ten years, but sometimes you gotta move on. I missed some subs, and Lemmy is definitely less active - but I waste less time here than I did on reddit and that's a bonus.
The biggest thing I miss from Reddit is how up to date the news on the front page was. Having said that, they changed the algorithm and it's been dogshit for years anyway. I dont miss Reddit at all, been here for over a year.
Welcome aboard! I see you signed up to LW, here the worst of the "Tankie Triad" has been defederated from (hexbear and lemmygrad) though lemmy.ml is still fed'd so beware.
Is that seriously how you greet new people? Literally the first thing you are saying is about sowing division. "Watch out for the boggieman instance!" How about you just give it a rest.
I left Reddit during APIGate and I tried lemme and it was full of racist nastiness so I closed my account and recently also left all meta apps and drasticallyreduced tiktok, and thought I might come check out how things are going and it's nice and cozy here now, think I will stay. Been off of x for the better part of 3 years.
Oh damn, I too initially left reddit during the API BS, but I didn't see any of that.
What instance was that? (Was it one of the Tankie Triad?(Hexbear, Lemmygrad or Lemmy.ml?))
Bro has a bone to pickπ
Lemmy.world sure seems full of the "Reddit Mod" types that killed reddit, but there are other options in the verse.
I see your point, but it wasn't really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed
Admins are the main culprits, but mods removing posts organizing migration to Lemmy also have a share of responsibility in the situation.
By the time people were moving to Lemmy, the damage was already done. If anything, you're arguing that the mods helped save reddit from a larger exodus by disrupting the migration? You seem confused.
