This blows… Wtf is that a thing anyways, what a stupid, fascist way of censorship. It’s like you getting cattle marked for life in a social media and I didn’t do anything. I didn’t insulted anyone or attacked any minority, it sucks because the communities I followed about the media I consume are there. And only them hold the “market” of forum like groups since Google plus death. No other app comes close to them. Posting here is like posting in a desert for that media I liked.

    Yeah I got permabanned for supporting Luigi. Maybe a bit too enthusiastically but it is what it is. Every account I make now gets auto banned even if I use VPN.

    I could probably get around it with a paid VPN and the Brave browser but I don’t really want to blow any money on getting to a shit community anyway. The only things I miss are my interest subs like pottery, landscaping, etc. The ones here are dead.

    But enough CEOs are turning out to be asshats and people are fleeing for the fediverse so it may get more active and diverse here.

    As it is, I don’t really mesh with the majority of lemmys and “wrongthink” is actively policed here. It will be nice when less terminally online people join and water down the extremists.

    I don’t know what to say. It’s a shit platform, don’t use it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    It’s weird to me when people come here to complain about Reddit.

      Because it’s the only app with enough viewership for forum like replies, especially for media like games or similar. No, discord doesn’t count, that’s just a cringe chat that is messy and without structure

        I mean what did you expect? It’s a corporate-owned platform so they’re in control, not you.

        At least with Lemmy and other federated platforms you can have direct ownership over your data if you so wish. You can even spin up an entire instance and become your own boss.

        As far as Discord goes, I’ve only rarely used it and can agree that the UI is trash but that’s about it.

    Fam, I honestly feel bad for you. I remember that feeling of terrible disappointment in Reddit - like they could have such a cool thing if only they hadn’t sold their soul for money.

    Whatever you got banned for, now you’re banned for ban evasion. The devs are fairly crafty and sounds like your OpSec stinks.

    New phone, but same number, same carrier, connect through the same WiFi, same email provider, being active in the same subs. Even if you get all that right, if you use familiar language a sub moderator might recognize and ask site admins to check for ban evasion and you’re toast.

    Some people don’t like how you behave. That could have two reasons:

    1. You behave badly
    2. The people in those communities don’t like your behavior

    And anything in between.

    I got banned from r/Korea back in the day because I linked to my own peertube instance, they didn’t like it.

    On Lemmy I’m trying to get the !korea@lemmy.funami.tech going but as you can see it’s only posts made by me :D but sometimes, very seldom there is a comment and some likes or to a lesser extend dislikes. I think most of them are people who browse /all and by chance see those posts there.

    But if I don’t post then there is no content about Korea at all ^^

    Anyway, remember that you can’t change other peoples behavior, only yours.

      I didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t need to change anything, unfortunately I’m the weak one here and I don’t have the power
