It’s kind of a complicated story, all these events occur within a 48 hour period:

  1. I made a comment along the lines of “today we have groups that resemble nazis and need to be armed to say they’re bad for our future too”
  2. Received a permanent ban, probably related to the word “armed”
  3. Appealed that ban
  4. Receieved a second permanent ban for “multiple violations”
  5. Appeal successful, first ban lifted.
  6. Still banned via second ban, no option to appeal.

The second ban, which appears to be referring to the first ban with “multiple violations” still stands, even with first ban’s successful appeal and lift.

So is that it? No more Reddit for me?

    I’ve been using Reddt on and off since high school: almost 20 years. So it’s weird to not have it anymore.

    I like Lemmy, its got some rough edges, but don’t we all?

      I used reddit for about 13 years before they shut down the Reddit is Fun app. It felt like a forced detox when it shut down but I’m now happy with Lemmy and grateful that Reddit pushed me away. It’s different than reddit. It took some getting used to, but now I’m content.

      Lemmy is streets ahead of modern Reddit. It’s honestly pretty close to replicating the feel of Reddit 15+ years ago, back when it was more intellectual and dense, less accessible but also way less engagement-baity. Reminds me of a time when the entire internet felt like knowledge waiting to be discovered.

      Every so often I go back to Reddit and I’m always astonished by how lowest-common-denominator everything is now.
