    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.

          I’m really liking Lemmy so far, it definitely has the raw vibe of old reddit that I’ve missed for so long

      Every trivial and throughless ban like that, creates another exile who becomes a regular on lemmy. This is a one-way street usually

      I got banned for speaking out about Israel’s crimes and saying Netenyahu and his cabinet need to be hanged for their crimes.

      Since I am here, I will say that a trial is unnecessary.

      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.

          Yea, I would do the same IRL to tell people visiting my city for the first time about the “bad parts of town” just the same

          It’s disingenuous otherwise to hide such info

      Sounds about reddit.
