My permaban came from a post about DOGE. They deleted the comment, permabanned me, and wouldn’t let me see what I even commented. They said it was “encouraging violence” but hell no, I was making sure not to say anything like that. Wonder if I just insulted Elon and reddit decided to finally get rid of me.

Paranoid me says they’re trying to ban all of the older accounts with clear liberal bias. 14 years for me too and my permaban was for saying I’d “take a couple with me” if Nazis ever came for me. Appealed and upheld.

Curating subs? I see it as more of “creating my own bubble”. Lemmy is a good way to kinda expose myself to other stuff for a change and not just the reddit hive mind.

I mean, how many times have you opened a post and knew what the top 3 comments would be??

Not even with the other news of them warning people for upvoting content?

It’s what got me over here finally.

Obama era had everyone optimistic about the future.
