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.
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.
If you happen to use or try the Voyager app they have a migration tool that is supposed to work well.
Interesting, I’ll take a look at that, thanks!
