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.
Curating subs? I see it as more of “creating my own bubble”. Lemmy is a good way to kinda expose myself to other stuff for a change and not just the reddit hive mind.
I mean, how many times have you opened a post and knew what the top 3 comments would be??
Seriously the stupid rehashing of old top comments. Posted by bots. Who are commenting on a repost posted by a bot.
Fuck me. It’s never a recycling of Reddit specific lore or history or inside jokes. Just the lowest hanging fruit. Over and over and over.
It’s like being forced to sit through a sitcom where the actors are all robots and there’s no live audience or laugh track.
I’ve seen one person respond to something here with simply “this is the way,” and the flashbacks were real
Getting annoyed just reading that in quote form. The obsession with “I think you should leave” is getting too much too. I love that show and they’re making me like it less by constantly referencing it.
Weeeelllll… technically there are a couple of Lemmy cliches, but you make a good point. Canned bot responses to farm karma are certainly awful, with the only human exception being “look up en passant” because that was intentional predicability.
