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.

    The adjustment can be a little awkward at first but there’s plenty to do on Lemmy if you take some time to learn how things work and how to get the most out of it.

    If you’re the type of person that enjoys posting and guiding topics there’s no shortage of people hungry for content on Lemmy. There are lots of active communities but even more that are still trying to get off the ground or need someone interested to adopt them.

    Whatever your interests, https://lemmyverse.net/ is a great way to find communities for the topics you care about if you aren’t finding them on lemmy.world.

    I hope your time here is more enjoyable than where you’re coming from.

      Thanks! Honestly it’s been less of an adjustment than I expected. Took a couple hours to read about it and figure out how it works, picked a server, and jumped right in. The big thing is that I’m losing that whole curated sub list that I’m going to have to replicate, but I’m sure it’ll take care of itself.
