Fediverse memes

God that's such a cool feature. Jerboa was by far the best app when I joined lemmy but it's really been surpassed.

I believe I got perma banned for posting Luigi gifs and guillotines after the UHC guy got euthanized.

The real reason Reddit gave was something about using another account to avoid a ban ... but I only had one account. Reddit was just weird, had to be an AI thing.

Just admit you got permabanned for saying we should normalize punching nazis, it's nothing to be ashamed of. It's why we're all here.

I was once permabanned on a couple of subreddits I had never visited before because I had commented on a thread in a sub they apparently didn't like. It was called Kotaku and I had never heard of it before. Just saw a movie thread and commented because I love movies. The thing I hated the most about reddit was the expectation that everybody were as terminally online as the mods were. Not my fault a sub pops up in my feed and I decide to comment on the topic.

Was likewise permabanned from the true childfree subreddit for making a post where I wanted to talk to people about the thoughts and doubts that comes with being childfree. I was going through some things at the time and just wanted to talk to likeminded people. Permabanned for "trolling".

And finally was permabanned for racism on a sub where the topic was the little mermaid remake and I mentioned that I thought Halle Bailey deserved better than to work for Disney. Had followed her and her sister's youtube channel on/off since 2014 and really liked their voices and I didn't want a young artist to be chewed up and spit out by one of the worst entertainment companies ever. I still love her and Chloe's cover of Say Something and think it is better than the original.

So yeah, sometimes you get permabanned for literally no reason or a made up reason. I had no sad feelings when I left reddit. I absolutely hated the mods on most subs. None of them seemed to have lived in the real world for years.

Were you permabanned from Reddit or just banned from a specific subreddit? Those are two entirely different things, and sometimes people don't seem to understand or don't care to admit it.

Sucks to be permabanned from the whole site over that comment if that's what happened, but hopefully you took that as an experience to learn and grow (and not just as a reason to reinforce your discontent with Reddit itself) so that you don't necessarily bring that same energy to other spaces.

Honestly, that's a problem for a lot of ex-Redditors in my strictly subjective opinion. They claim to hate the place, but then bring the same exact energy here. I'm fine with a diversity of opinion and antics, but if I wanted to interact with Redditor behavior, I'd just go to Reddit.

Anyway, I myself LOATHE having to use "/s" to denote when I'm being sarcastic or deploying a bit of mockery/parody. However, I recognize that my intent does not obligate others to abide, nor is my intent and its effect on others guaranteed to align. I would say in the context that you describe, I probably wouldn't make that kind of comment or if I did I would at least do the thing I hate so much and just use a "/s" or sPonGE CAsE, perhaps.

In your new non-reddit home, the bad Reddit-like moderator behavior is alive and thriving here as well. It's not all fairy farts and unicorn blow around here. You probably already knew that, but just in case, figured I'd give you a heads up.

It's still you today, and will you be in the future.

It just find it hilarious how people take these absolutist stances on issues, as if they are God-like, when they have limited information on them. And if you present them with information that shows their view is limited, they just hate you for it.

The issue is people's egotistical need to feel superior/correct. And they will not give that up. What's interesting about actual experts, is they don't take that approach. They openly discuss the limits of their knowledge and capability... laymen do the exact opposite and emotionally insist that their lack of knowledge makes their understanding more honest... or something.

Hence people will read one comment you make, and make that totally determinate of your entire personality and belief system. Because, they KNOW WHO YOU REALLY ARE. Based on a sentence you randomly typed once on a website...
