  • No no, that’s not what I’m saying at all.

    I loved reddit. I still love what reddit was. My reason for not doing this there is explained in a reply to another comment, but short version is I can’t post there and haven’t been able to for years.

    Now I’m on Lemmy, I’m more inclined to spend time working out how best to get traction here than I am to try to get back on reddit after being suspended years ago.

    Sorry if that came across like I’m being anti-reddit, there’s more to it and I’m just trying to reply to everything I’ve got going on as quickly as I can, across multiple platforms.


  • Ok let me clarify:

    I replied to a post about Nazis with something very anti-Nazi (you know, because nazis = bad, right?).

    I was suspended for that reply, and I circumvented the suspension by using another account, resulting in permanent suspension/ban. It was a long time ago and I would definitely do things differently now.

    Of course I’m not suggesting my opinion on reddit is more important than my boy, I just don’t have the means to post there, and I’m certainly not about to figure out how to get a new account set up without getting stung for more circumvention.




  • That’s the kind of thing I was hoping to find, but I didn’t have much luck.

    Lemmy is still young, so it’s understandable that it doesn’t yet have the infrastructure, but maybe this could prompt us to do something like that?

    I absolutely agree that such a forum needs moderation to avoid abuse. Where I’ve been asked, I’ve provided what I can to back up what I’m claiming.

    This is the internet though, so I get it. I’m just trying to do what’s best for my boy.
