I’m jealous of all y’all who know why you got bans.
I’ve gotten warning and temp bans, but they never specify why. They never include the content. Just saying promoting this or that is very unclear, like how, when, where? Did I actually?
I always just ignore them and carry on on alts for a while.
Their shit is so stupid. But there’s a lot of useful content on Reddit. I still hit up old house and DIY type groups, cause I own an old house, and specific tech groups because of the tech I use, but I don’t miss the rest.
I left before they could ban me. I’d most certainly be gone by now.
Getting rid of that algorithm was probably the second most positive change I made in my life in the past 5 years.
I need to get back on for help on some stuff. Was just trying to find a plant or drug free to order to take the place of adhd medication that would enrich my life but I am unable to get because puritanical lawmakers have made it near impossible for people without quality insurance to get it. I need help with other work stuff, etc. And there aren’t enough people on here for a lot of it, especially niche subjects. This time I want to just use reddit for that, and keep time wasting on lemmy here, although to waste less time, winter I’ve more time to waste.
But my recent violations they link to the comment but it doesn’t show anything just a page that had a removed comment, so you only have the title of the post that it got removed from. It used to show it. I contested one, and pointed that out, and they just ignored it and upheld the violation. I never got permabanned though I’ve cycled through idk, 6 or more accounts in a few years, but increasingly often, 4 just last year I think so more than 6 total, my first for a year and a few months then quit for over a year and a few months after a second violation for racism for something that wasn’t against the rules, or even related to race in any way whatsoever, completely unrelated, was going to quit forever.
But I abandon them after a second violation with a 3 day ban, after the 1st violation I get a second pretty soon, but with a new account the heat seems to be off. Don’t want the permaban as I want it for help with stuff.
