I posted this yesterday:
And apparently this warrants a instant permaban.
They don't even tell you what rule it breaks. Which one do you think it might break?
In any case, every time I visit Reddit and look at my local subs (Montréal, Québec or Canada) I look at the comments and they're absolutely vile. The community has become so fucking toxic it's unbearable. And I also realized how my mental health actually improved since I left that community.
They can keep the permaban. I don't give a shit anymore. I'm so over that god forsaken place.
Peace out.
Quick update:
I contancted the mods and apparently I was permabanned for spamming and they immediately muted me so I wouldn't be able to message the mods any further. I can understand that it can be considered spamming, but I feel they're being extremely harsh over this. They really have no chill.
I've done the same and the reaction has been the same (though not deleted). I think it's spammy.
I might create a new user account with 'lemmy' in the name if I really want to promote it, but I won't be suggesting people come over unless someone asks me about it.
