I was just interested to see how much had changed since December when I was randomly banned with no reason given and the appeal went unheard.

I was just planning to browse and not log in but it immediately gave me a pop-up notification to create an account.

Curious if it would allow me, I submitted the application and it went through without problem.

I didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself, so I didn’t comment or post for the first month.

Then, I made another mistake. I got invested, again and it didn’t take long before it inevitably became political.

I posted a reply to someone who had clearly been chugging the orange kool-aid. Nothing terrible, just what I thought was objective reality, easily verifiable through past reporting through many credible media outlets.

But, reddit is going to reddit. Somehow objective reality has been classified as hate speech on reddit.

I’m not surprissd. Just a little disappointed.

I appealed, I do not expect a reply.

Previously, I had been on reddit for 10 years without much incident.

This time I lasted only 2 months

    Since you seem to know about light and eyes: Huberman often suggests direct bright sunlight into the eyes. Is that wrong or is there a trade-off between advantages and damage? (Although, direct in Hubermans sense means unfiltered and not looking into the sun, but possibly close to it from my understanding, so is that the important difference?)

    I know that he’s not always right, but eyes seem to be his special/original area of expertise. Also, I didn’t follow him much for quite some time, but I remember the sunlight into eyes.

      I don’t really know about light and eyes, I just know that UV radiation is bad for you and I know that academic quality evidence for this is abundant.

      It was easy to find multiple .edu and .gov sources that explicitly state that UV is harmful to your vision.

      When people say things like “bright direct sunlight to the eyes” to me it reads as “touching grass is beneficial.”

      You don’t need to look at or near the sun, there’s plenty of sunlight bouncing around on a sunny day. You also don’t need to expose yourself to UV so sunscreen is still a good idea.
