So yesterday I received a 7-day ban for ‘encouraging violence’, for saying that Luigi Mangione did not deserve to go to jail. It was obviously bullshit, somebody got a little hair-trigger on the new directive from Der Fuhrer spez or something, so I appealed. That appeal was reviewed and the temp ban lifted and the ‘offending’ comment restored, but 11 hours prior to that I got another message that I had been perma-banned for violating Reddit’s rules with my ‘other account(s)’. Well that’s also bullshit because I’ve had exactly one (1) account in the 14 years I’ve been on reddit, so I appealed that too, and thus we get to the cherry on top: I am no longer banned, I can post and such again, but they sent me the above message saying that my appeal had been denied and that the perma-ban was staying in place. But rather than linger in reddit limbo, I think I’m gonna switch permanently to lemmy. 14 years worth of curating subs will suck to redo, but oh well, life is change.
Same man, I’ve been on Reddit pretty much since 2005.
It seems like such a waste of 20 years of doom scrolling, imagine if I’d put that time into learning a trade, or another language…
You’re doom scrolling right now on lemmy.
If Reddit didn’t turn to shit I don’t see how your doom scrolling wasn’t already a waste of time.
But wasting time is the point right? You can’t spent every single minute of your day being productive.
It’s like people complaining that playing video games and watching moves is a huge waste of time. Like, durrrr, that’s the point.
Aye, it’s just escapism one way or another.
But no, we must be active 100% of the time.
We don’t have to do that wank “/s” here do we??
