I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on ‘my other accounts’ – I’ve had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I’ve been there, I don’t even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it’s overturned I’m not sure I’m going back. They’ve gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it ‘inciting violence.’ Fuck 'em.
i heard about that situation, some people were getting temp banned, and then when the ban was lifted, they were permabanned. I think some mods mentioned reddit, or the sub does not reset thier filters once the bans was lifted so the filters automatically assume you are EVADING A ban.
The message about my perma-ban was actually 11 hours older than the message about my temp-ban being lifted, so they perma-banned me and then un-temp-banned me, which is… kinda fucky.
thier filters are so haphazardly banning people, not even verify a violation, thats what im seeing. i just deleted all my perma-banned accts, its pretty hard to repeal once they give a permaban that doesnt state where and what the violation was.
What’s hilarious is that my perma-ban got lifted on appeal, I can post and shit now, but the message they sent me said it was denied and would stay in place. They are so goddamnned confused over there.
Reddit turned toxic AF, enough for me to decide to leave it regardless of whether I came here or not.
Here, people are sometimes kind. Not always, but not never either.
You still have to unplug every so often bc social media in general is addictive, but this place is so great while Reddit is so trash, there’s barely any comparison.:-)
(unfortunately, that’s just human nature, but there are a variety of ways in which things can become better here - e.g. the ability to create a new community on another instance, and then certain apps and PieFed, though not Lemmy yet, offers the ability to combine all of those communities into a single Topic, called a “Feed”, see recent post about this)

This was me during the APIcalypse. Since joining Lemmy, I have:
I hope you have a good time here as well!

How was that process? Is your wife French? I wish I had dual citizenship anywhere.

If you’re not daily driving Arch, btw, did you even join Lemmy?
I know you’re not daily driving Arch because you didn’t mention it.
(Jokes, obvs. Congrats on the self-discovery!)
Give us good yuri manga recommendation 👀
I think this one was my favorite so far: https://mangadex.org/title/d5648ff0-6792-4c87-b9d3-b024ac7abbab/kyaba-jou-dakedo-jd-ni-otosaremashita
I found it both funny and cute.

Yep and when you’re perma banned you’re fucked. They don’t look at the reasons, they don’t engage with people… it’s ridiculous
Corporate assholes.
Then everyone banned or permabanned should end the complain with something like “and I’m opening an account in Lemmy. Farewell”.
Oooooh I like that

I also broke free from Reddit. Hopefully in lemmy we are not limited to only post things that agree with moderators point of view.
