So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for ‘encouraging violence’, for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from Der Fuhrer spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the ‘offending’ comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit’s rules with my ‘other account(s)’. Well that’s also bullshit because I’ve had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I’ve been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I’m gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.
I switched to Lemmy after r/news banned me for obvious hyperbole. Reddit used to be a place where dark humor in the face of absurd events was allowed. I’m not even sure if Lemmy is any better, but I’ve had all of the humor and interest in life beat out of me now, so I guess I’ll be okay.
Yeeaaaah, I miss the dark humor, people here are sometimes a bit too literal. To be fair, they have their reasons, from being neurodivergent to being from cultures that just don’t do dark humor. Our All feed really is everyone.
News sub on Lemmy.world is the same thing tbh but fedi is a big and the other news sub’s on other servers who don’t shill neo lib regime trash
