I got sitewide banhammered from Reddit for my absent-minded use of the report button instead of using modmail
Even though I was polite in the message Reddit claimed it was mod harassment
It's been over a week and they still haven't responded to my appeal
It won't let me submit another appeal because it says I've already submitted one
I've been on reddit for over 10 years, seems like an odd way to end it.
I'll have to admit though, Lemmy is pretty sweet. I even got Sync back!
Welcome aboard! I see you signed up to LW, here the worst of the "Tankie Triad" has been defederated from (hexbear and lemmygrad) though lemmy.ml is still fed'd so beware.
Is that seriously how you greet new people? Literally the first thing you are saying is about sowing division. "Watch out for the boggieman instance!" How about you just give it a rest.
I left Reddit during APIGate and I tried lemme and it was full of racist nastiness so I closed my account and recently also left all meta apps and drasticallyreduced tiktok, and thought I might come check out how things are going and it's nice and cozy here now, think I will stay. Been off of x for the better part of 3 years.
Oh damn, I too initially left reddit during the API BS, but I didn't see any of that.
What instance was that? (Was it one of the Tankie Triad?(Hexbear, Lemmygrad or Lemmy.ml?))
Bro has a bone to pick💀
Just got here from Reddit. Haven't officially left it, but the concept of the fediverse intrigued me and wanted to check it out
Welcome!
Welcome! I hope you have fun here!
For me I dropped Reddit fully when I realized it was going down more than lemmy.world ever did lol
Lemmy.world sure seems full of the "Reddit Mod" types that killed reddit, but there are other options in the verse.
I see your point, but it wasn't really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed
Admins are the main culprits, but mods removing posts organizing migration to Lemmy also have a share of responsibility in the situation.
By the time people were moving to Lemmy, the damage was already done. If anything, you're arguing that the mods helped save reddit from a larger exodus by disrupting the migration? You seem confused.
Finally took the plunge out of curiosity and a desire to dump reddit at some point.
Did something new happen on reddit?
Nothing new in particular. People are sick of power tripping mods. Also people that joined Reddit many years ago are sad to see it's turned into something else in many ways. I'm brand new here, I am over Reddit as I just got banned for "threatening violence". I appealed to no avail. I got angry regarding a post about an adult purposely running down a 12 year old. I expressed what I "would feel like doing" to that driver if he knocked one of my sons over on purpose. I didn't actually threaten a real person, it was based on a hypothetical scenario. But no apparently that's threatening violence. So yeah, I'm here.
Mods can be very ban happy around here as well.
Lol I got an account banned in reddit for threatening violence too - my comment was a direct quote from the US president!
A post of an article calling for federated social media got big. A comment on said post pointing to Lemmy got 100s of upvotes. Reddit mods deleted the comment.

If anyone's wondering what you should do first, the first thing you should do is block hexbear, and the next thing you should do is join any instance other than lemmy.ml. lemmy.world is a good choice, but there's probably one you'll like better.
If you want to know the most trans-friendly instance, it's lemmy.blahaj.zone. There are people who will tell you it's Hexbear. Those people are liars.
