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’m here because r/pics bots are assholes and mods don’t reply to asking why they banned you, the auto ban says I was banned because at some point in my many years I commented on a subreddit they didn’t like. I carried on just fine, but when I was browsing one day with a different account I commented on another r/pics post and now both accounts are banned for 7 days for ban evasion. The bots still never told me what to do about it to fix it and they denied my appeal, so fuck em.
Deleted that app, and all my other social media apps, Facebook, instagram, x, Reddit, threads, etc. im tired of arguing with all the bots. But I need something to still be able to scroll, so here I am.
