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!

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?))

[–] DontMakeMoreBabies@lemm.ee 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Lemmy.world sure seems full of the "Reddit Mod" types that killed reddit, but there are other options in the verse.

[–] imaqtpie@midwest.social 1 points 53 minutes ago

I see your point, but it wasn't really the reddit mods that killed reddit, it was the admins selling out to corporate greed

[–] Zlain@lemm.ee 11 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

Just got here from Reddit. Haven't officially left it, but the concept of the fediverse intrigued me and wanted to check it out

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

Welcome! Any questions so far?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

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

Did something new happen on reddit?

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

ah. I thought they did some new, fresh BS and caused another exodus.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

It's meta and x that are causing interest in the fediverse again. Pixelfed has gained a lot of users.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 42 minutes ago

I know that, but the title of this post references redditors.

Your account age is 4 months tho?

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Enjoy, take a poke around, drop some comments.

If anyone is looking for an unpopularopinion sub here, check out opinionhavers which I'm trying to get going.

There is also this one but mods took it offline for a while to protest something or other, so I figure it's good to have alternatives. The mod drama over there if you care.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

!unpopularopinion@lemmy.world is open, people created threads yesterday, so not sure what you mean?

[–] BothsidesistFraud@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It was shut down for around a week to a week and a half, and now it's back. That's what I meant.

The point was: now that it's been shown that the mod is willing to take the sub offline in protest of various stuff, maybe it would be good to support an alternative as well so eggs can be in several baskets instead of just one.

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

LW reverting that policy is a sign the blackout was justified

[–] BothsidesistFraud@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Not relevant to this.

[–] Papacito8400@lemmy.today 10 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Newish to Lemmy, but left due to Reddit terrible mods.

[–] Corgana@startrek.website 1 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

If you hated the power reddit mods wielded, the open fediverse is not for you.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Eh, at least it's way easier for everyone to move on somewhere else (still on Lemmy)

[–] imaqtpie@midwest.social 1 points 50 minutes ago

Or to start a better version of a community with blackjack and hookers.

[–] figjam@midwest.social 2 points 2 hours ago

Bah, the 196 drama was entertaining

[–] Blaze@feddit.org 8 points 8 hours ago

How do you enjoy public modlogs? !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com if you want to see power tripping called out

[–] Truupe@lemmy.world 27 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Finally took the plunge out of curiosity and a desire to dump reddit at some point.

It is the first time I see myself as a hiring manager. It's not that displeasing though.. Welcome everyone!
