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 got my badge of honor during the API purge, when I mass edited all of my old comments before deleting them. It’s a little more quiet here, but it honestly reminds me of the early Reddit days. If you tag users, you’ll start to see just how small of a community it actually is; I see my tags all over the place in nearly every comment section.

    If you haven’t done so, consider looking into the various apps. Voyager (sometimes called Wefwef by the older users) is a sort of spiritual successor to Apollo. So if you’re an old Apollo user, you’ll likely feel right at home.

        It’s not something Lemmy natively supports, but (a lot like Reddit Enhancement Suite) the various apps should allow you to do so. For instance, on Voyager, you can do it via the options menu on the user’s profile.
