A place where you can rant to your heart's content.

Rules :
  1. Follow all of Lemmy code of conduct.
  2. Be respectful to others, even if they're the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.
  3. Keep it on Topic. Memes about ranting are allowed for now, but will be banned if they start to become more prevalent than actual rants.

I'm perma-banned on Reddit for accidental ban evasion (I don't really want to get into it), so I came here as an alternative. But there isnt NEARLY as many communities or members as there are on reddit. But I cant go back there cus they perma banned me, that was 2 years ago when they first banned me.

Lemmy just isn't the same, and I wish I could go back to Reddit, but that site is arguably more nerve-wracking to be on than anything else. What can I do?? What other alternatives do I have?

And no I cant really just not use reddit cus I primarily used it to ask questions about specific stuff or if I wanted someones opinion about a product or some thing. Reddit is often more useful than google is.

idk im just kinda upset and at a fuckin loss. What kinda website perma bans a user for life and logs all their info just to make sure they don't come back?!

The same sort of website that permabans all accounts from a user except the one he uses to moderate some small ~~comm~~ subreddit. Fuck Reddit and fuck everything Reddit.

And, like, I get you didn't like the Fediverse. Yes, it could use a bit more activity. ...but to be frank, it's probably the best alternative to Reddit you'll find. And sorry for my uncalled advice, but: if that isn't enough then at least don't go back to Reddit, that place is a shithole and it'll make you feel like shit.

(I actually got a few specific questions answered here in the Fediverse. Orchid identification, spider identification, a bunch of Linux questions. In Reddit getting the actual info is always a chore, that place is too noisy for my tastes.)
