Thank you! This did actually help a lot. I think its my brain getting a case of the ick when the physical representation doesn’t match my mental image. Later I’m going to try to work on it a bit and I’ll just keep making sure to say “you’ve at least got something and something is progress.”

So I’m brand new here by a few days. I was banned from Reddit entirely after forgetting what account I was on and commenting in a fallout sub I wan banned from. The mod from said fallout sub refused to believe this was an accident, (I thought I was in a completely different fallout sub with a similar icon) said my appeals were considered “argumentative”and pulled the “I’m also an admin” card. Now every account I make gets perma-banned from all of Reddit within 6 hours of being made. Kills me. It’s more a deep void to me not because I just can’t use it considering the mindless monotony of most subs, but because I like to create and my sole platform to share anything I make was ripped from me by some neckbeard that was given a smidgen of power. Still, I never answered your question so; it hasn’t. Yet. I just found lemmy and am hoping it’ll be a great place to fill that void but only time will tell.
