What the fuck is happening at Reddit? (beehaw.org)

So, I have a main account, where I'm the asshole editor with lots of opinions, and then two others for things a bit more spicy.

Both of those have been suspended for "suspicious activity" roughly 30 hours apart. For, you know, posting what I usually do.

The thing is, one of these -- I'm in the eight-year club there -- is associated with an email address that was terminated for lack of use, so I can't reset my password as prescribed.

The other was suspended yesterday every single time I posted anything, resulting in multiple password resets. I've not posted anything there today, but ... hey, look, it's suspended again.

Is Reddit just making a hard turn toward banning adult content? r/help seems to have a few other people in my boat wondering what the fuck is going on, but I can't find any sources suggesting a shift in policy. And I can't post in r/help on my main ... the submit button does nothing.

It's a sign to layoff Reddit and be active on Lemmy.

I started !gnucash@lemmy.ml a couple of days ago mainly to give me a little motivation to log on here daily and post something. Feels like I'm posting into the void at this point, but I did get three subscribers and a handful of upvotes ๐Ÿคฃ. I'm still spending 90% of my time over at Reddit, but if we want alternatives we definitely need to participate more.

3 subscribers in 3 days is fair. If you keep up posting regularly. You should continue to get more subs. Subscribed in case I find an interesting post

Love gnucash and I use it all the time .... liked, subscribed to the community and I'll do my best to check in

You know, I was considering reporting this for self-advertising, but I decided not to. It's a sad state of affairs that in addition to our core competencies, everyone's supposed to be good at the deception we call "marketing."

Thanks. I'm not selling anything or gaining anything from this. Reporting it wouldn't have hurt me in the slightest. I'm just trying to maybe give some new people a reason to check Lemmy now and then.

I'm, uh, somewhat active on here, if you'd like to check out my profile.

[โ€“] limerod@reddthat.com 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I know. It's obvious from your post. I made that comment in jest.

No you didn't. You probably didn't bother checking before running your mouth and now that you've been caught being an asshole you're doing the republican trademark "can't you take a joke?"

[โ€“] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 3 points 14 hours ago

I don't think anyone says "it's a sign" seriously.

[โ€“] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 2 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago) (1 children)

While I appreciate where you're coming from, especially as you're defending me, one of the guidelines here is to assume good faith. While I have no idea how they divined that from my comment, let's avoid direct personal attacks.

While I have no idea how they divined that from my comment,

My guess: There's no way a self-described asshole with lots of opinions could resist lemmy. Source: Am an asshole with lots of opinions, this place is great and I hate it.

[โ€“] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 2 points 14 hours ago

Hey, I used to get paid for being an opinionated asshole! And fuck your burn. (ask your burner friends)

[โ€“] limerod@reddthat.com 0 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe, you should reflect on your self before commenting and making assumption about others. I didn't write anything malicious or name call anyone.

caught being an asshole you're doing the republican trademark "can't you take a joke?"

I had to double check and see if you were the OP. Seeing the way you took it so personally and had to call me an asshole. It speaks more about you than me or anyone.

[โ€“] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Let's tone it down. I've already addressed why that comment was wildly out of line, and we try to come to consensus here. I can see why you thought it was me, though. ๐Ÿคฃ

[โ€“] limerod@reddthat.com 0 points 13 hours ago

It was surprising why a random person would attack on a mundane comment out of nowhere.

I checked the mod history and apparently, the purpose is to troll and that person has been banned and had their comments removed from many communities recently.

Anyway, peace.
