I should have known better.

A little over a year ago, I was posting comments in a wrestling sub of all places, when a mod had banned me insisting I was trolling.

I was not.

What I should have done, is mute the sub and just walk away. But I appealed my ban to not avail, and the mod muted me for 30 days. Being someone who felt this was egregious, I created an alt to message the mods directly. Instantly, the mod reported me for ban evasion.

And since then, I have been oscillating between alt accounts that have a short shelf life before their algorithms catch it.

11 years, up in smoke, all thanks to a power tripping moderator on a professional wrestling sub.

I’ve been going through so much this past year, and Reddit was my outlet for so long. Nothing against this platform at all, but I could expect responses in minutes versus potential days.

I hate that Reddit won’t even listen, and that how quickly ones internet presence can be erased.

Hopefully more and more people come here, so that I can actually engage in conversation.

Uh welcome I guess?

As reddit used to say before it turned into a bot circle jerk, “remember the human”.

Use your energy to build a community, not to get into slap fights with strangers.

Reddit itself is going up in smoke. You're not missing much.

That sounds shitty. But welcome to Lemmy.

FWIW, you're less likely to get permanently banned unless you do something egregious.

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
