MODERATORS
I've completely replaced reddit with Lemmy on my phone, I still sometimes check some bigger subreddits when on my pc. Or subs like HFY that has no equivilant.
Ashamed to admit it, but for me Reddit is hard to kick. I would spend hours on various subs and writing comments. I had 8.5 years invested till I got kicked out. I didn't realize how much time I was spending on the site until that happened.
I dropped it cold turkey after 15 years. I've gone back and looked at it a couple times and noped the fuck out of there. No regrets.
They really are ramping up the suspensions and kicking users out for good. I used a slang word for cigarette and I got suspended for a week. I told them to go back and read my comment, there was not any malice behind it. No dice..
Seems like you know what you did on purpose
Hfy?
And I know what you're saying. I was being facetious. I sometimes check reddit at work too.
HFY (humanity, fuck yeah) was a sub for short stories about humans being cooler than aliens. Not in a self congratulatory way, but like how humans could feasibly have good or useful traits that alien species might not. Such as creativity or physical prowess due to being top of the food chain in a competitive ecosystem.
There’s a Lemmy alternative but not a lot of traction.
