I hate googling things and just being lead back to reddit... Where my account was permabanned for "Report Abuse", something literally not even discussed in their TOS
And they're not every clear on if I'm allowed to use an alternate account, they just said "If you go onto another account and continue this misbehavior it'll be banned", which sounds like I'm allowed to use an alt, but..... only if it plays by the rules, but else where I'm seeing that "Ban Evasion" is against the rules, so which is it Jim Jam?
This is so far my biggest problem med Lemmy and federation in general, all content is not in one place. It was nice just searching for problem x reddit and you found a solution 9/10 times (because you had everything in one place).
That and the Specific Fandoms aren't here, no FNAF, no Sonic, no Taco Bill, no Mudkips, nothing
Make them
Their stance is that you personally are banned for life from subs regardless of which account. Would be a real shame if your IP got changed between accounts, your cookies and local storage got cleared, and you never mentioned the old account again. You could accidentally post in a sub you got banned from, and they wouldn't be able to helpfully re-ban you from the sub!
If you were still trying to spend time on reddit in the first place at least.
That's what my "friend" did. Reddit banned every account he used on his phone at once, but with a different IP, desktop browser, and cookie isolation, they haven't noticed so far. He might sound like some professional troll, but he was actually banned for a stupid reason.
huh
I genuinely think Reddit might be the worst social media site just cause of the egregious amount of echo chambering. And I'm not even talking about only one side of the political spectrum is on the site, it's sub-dependent. If you don't fully agree with anything in a community you run the risk of the ban hammer at the very least in the community and possibly even site-wide. Every single community (and apparently Reddit) has at least one rule that's vague enough for them to justify removing posts/banning people they don't like with it. And even worse, everyone on the site thinks they're the epitome of intelligence cause they've been in their circlejerk forever.
The kind of people who mistake their own ass for an air freshener.
@midas10 @HawlSera this is the reason I got rid of reddit long before last chaos. It was like everyone tried to send message "you could think exactly like us or you are traitor, crazy, human trash and you deserve the worst". It was too exhausting for me.
tbf I feel like lemmy also has a lot of echo chambering, it's literally 70% tech nerds and nearly everyone is atheist
