I got banned for calling Albertans stupid and they would vote the UCP in again if there was an election today. Wasn't permanent but 30 days.
Monster lol
I realize you are coming from a helpful place and I appreciate that but the enjoyment I get out of Reddit is my business to be honest.
You may see it as toxic but I find the community of it to be exactly what I prefer. I have AuDHD (which is ADHD with a pinch of high functioning autism) I like to jump from topic to topic. Some things that I need information on, some things that I just obsess about. Feelings to help understand. There was a large community of folks like me that understands how my brain works more so that having to explain it every time so it was a good place to just post and respond and feel apart of something. Actually I wouldn't have gotten diagnosed without speaking to people on there, getting through the stigmas and fears.
Do I fuck around on there as well, of course I do but it beats being around strangers.
Ps I do paint and have activities I do by myself but I am physically isolated alot (by preference) so Reddit was my outlet.
Lemmy isn't bad its just not as wide as reaching as Reddit
i apologize, your situation sounds much more rational than i assumed. hope you get your account back ❤️
Im actually not sure if this is really sarcastic. Forgive me if I am reading into it too much
I got banned from a community. My wife, who has the same IP address as me since we share our internet, caused me to get a 7 day ban on reddit when she posted on that community. So yeah sometimes it isn’t thought through. That doesn’t mean there are total asshats on reddit getting banned though.
I have no doubts that banning is warranted on reddit. My initial ban from a few years ago was from me telling a young boy, maybe 16, to stand up for themselves rather than just get the school involved in a bullying situation. This was read as a promotion of violence. While that can be misconstrued, it certainly shouldn't be a reason to be banned. Im not not guilty of the ban evasion, but the initial ban was to me unwarranted and when I appealed it I was promptly denied.
