    Never thought Reddit is so shady.

    • I literally just repeated a questionable source of a linked article (like “fox news” as a comment to highlight bias). -> 7 day ban
    • Then, i admit bad action: commented via long-time second account one single but wholesome comment during that period. (to someone in need in the same sub, giving a tip on how to handle bad lifesituation. not realizing its the same forum) -> permaban in that forum
    • 7 days of trying to talk as diplomatic and giving as possible to the mods, even revealing my innocence of my second account
      • ip ban on all my accounts without any other talks. (prolly the a mod forwarded that to reddit and they dont care at all about nuance)

    had like 80k karma & original content posted over the years, but in the end: Gave me energy to join this community here and transfer.

    Good riddance. Less american now, F Sillicon Valley more power to the people

      I was in a similar situation karma-wise. I was happy there until I saw how ruthless the mods could be. This is a better alternative to all that.

      Welcome. I was on Reddit for more than a decade. It was fun while it lasted but we are all better here on Lemmy.

      i was annoyed how many foxnews articles was being posted on subs, do you people take fox news as serious enws?

      some niche subs are super sensitive if you contradict them, something like r/gym bans you for even mentioning PEDS. i was responding someone qouting rob machelenny from isaip, said if he was juiced he would get that big, which was true by his own admission.
