I'm a lady.

I migrated here from Reddit after getting a sitewide ban randomly, no reason given, no messages telling me what content of mine violated their site policy, and appeals denied and reddit requests ignored. Hello everyone.

  • Florida teacher loses job for calling student by ‘preferred’ name

    Jump

  • I wonder if this law was written to target transgender students but instead it's now affecting cis gender kids who can't go by their nick name any more and now teachers are losing their jobs for using nick names on their students they prefer.

    Transphobia also affects cis people just like how homophobia can affect straight people because they recieve harassment if they're mistaken as gay like how my brother faced racism by his math teacher because she thought he was Native.

    This would be leopards eating faces if the teacher voted this in and the parents who are protesting.

  • Can't Afford A Nintendo Switch 2? Buy A Switch 1, Nintendo Says - Insider Gaming

    Jump

  • But how will we play Mario Kart World? Why not release it on Switch 1? Oh that's right, they want people to buy the new gaming system. Screw others who can't afford it. It's just a couple hundred extra bucks. Just put that extra money aside for two months and you will have your Switch 2.

  • Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version

    Jump

  • If you have to buy it, you own it. Make it free to play but have in game purchases. Everyone knows free games can shut down any time. I play lot of mobile apps until I get tired of playing it, then delete.

    I avoid buying games that requires online connection. It means the game is unplayable without it.

    It's sickening what companies can get away with just because it's legal. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

  • What are your last-minute purchases before tariff hell begins?

    Jump

  • We are buying supplies to do fixes in our home like fresh paint, to get it up for market.

  • Are you permanently banned off reddit? or do you just like lemmy more?

    Jump

  • I'm banned off reddit. It was only a generic message i got saying I violated multiple rules. First it was my alt and then my main hours later. I have no idea what happened. Maybe me being on a public wi fi at a hotel and then someone there logged in two weeks later with a banned account so it got connected to mine.

    With lemmy was active as reddit. Now it's just a read only site for me.

  • Anyone successfully get back on reddit?

    Jump

  • I saw i had a proxy IP but I can't even help that because it's automatic and I have no idea how to change it. I'm tech illiterate. I know some places will ban you for a proxy. I've gotten that accusation before on a forum and I knew nothing about proxy IP. I only guessed that assumption came from me moving house 5 times in 1 year because I was a young adult. My parents, my own, my aunt and uncles, my ex, then my apartment and we have had to change internet providers a few times for cost. But the mods used that as a scapegoat to blame other issues in me other users did I didn't do, especially when I got impersonated. Sorry for living lol. Humans move you know and access the internet wherever. Some people use a paid vpn to keep their IP consistent because they access the internet all over because they travel a lot for work.

    Maybe I was banned for my proxy UP, who knows. I never ban evaded. I never created a new account to evade a ban. Both my accounts existed before the ban wave. I take website policies seriously. If I am so butthurt by someone, I block them and move on than following them and commenting on their posts or getting into petty arguements.

  • Rightwing groups across US push new bans to limit ‘obscene’ books in libraries

    Jump

  • Right wings lie bout wanting freedom of speech. They just want to sprout racist stuff and other phobic stuff. They treat LGBT like it's a fetish.

  • Anyone successfully get back on reddit?

    Jump

  • Wait, many users are being banned right now?

    I never ban evaded and I don't know how I would multi bot. Reddit says we can have more than one account just as long as we don't break the rules. I followed what their policy said. They even say make a new account if you don't like your username but I'm afraid their bot will just ban you for posting in the same subreddits you did with your other account or if you get baned, your posts on your older account could show up as a ban evasion if one of the mods comes across your older post. I'm speculating this is how I was banned.

    I guess shreddit all your comments first before moving onto a new account but what if reddit sees that as you trying to get around the rules and stuff when they said you would need to make a new account if you want to change your username.

  • Reddit's April Fools event is about avoiding getting banned

    Jump

  • I'm surprised they let me play it as a banned user.

  • Anyone successfully get back on reddit?

    Jump

  • I hear they disable/delete your account but they let me keep mine. "Oh we will let you log in but you can no longer post. Oh we will let you vote still and play this nice little game for April Fools in r/field. Oh we will let you have a new account for a half hour to modmail the admins. Oh we will let you save posts and delete your own comments."

    My reddit experience right now.

  • You're late to the party, the reddit admins fixed that error with their bot when they got many complaints and users using Luigi Mario character as a meme. One if the admins announced it in their post.

  • Have we overcomplicated everything?

    Jump

  • I will never use smart technology. I prefer analogue technology. Imagine using a subscription in your home for lights and TV and AC and heat and appliances and then boom, they decide to terminate your subscription and now your home is inaccessible for habitat.

  • So you're saying your account doesn't get banned until you post and bam, banned.

    Pointless having a unbanned reddit account if you can't post.

  • homelessness

    Jump

  • Yep, anyone can be homeless.

    If you sell your house and are between houses now, technically you are homeless but you're privileged you can live in a hotel or rent a storage unit and couch surf or if you have a friend or family member to stay with. If you have a job, you can still afford shelter and not lose everything. This was my family when my brother was a baby and we just stay with a friend for 2 months until we moved into our new house. Both of my parents had jobs. We were privileged.

    If you're evicted because you lost your job or got sick so you were unable to afford to pay your rent. Not all landlords give you a grace period to get behind in rent when something out of your control happened. These people also lose everything if they had no friends or family to help out. If they live paycheck to paycheck, they couldn't save money. Many Americans are one paycheck away from homelessness. It just means if they get sick or get into an accident or lose their job, they're screwed.

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account

    Jump

  • We no longer own our products. We just pay to use it until they decide you can no longer use their service. What happens if they mysteriously shut down your account without warning?

    That is what happened to a guy and he had to get court involved and then he found out his account was flagged for CP by their algorithm because he had a video of his 19 year old ex. False bans do happen. I couldn't find that story again sadly to share.

    Also, make sure you always have back up turned off or have one drive not installed on your phone. If you're a parent, be careful what photos you take of your children because if those get backed up to cloud, their AI will kill your account because it can't tell between CP and normal family photos.

    I actually want to own our products than make accounts to use.

  • To people migrating from reddit. At the end of the day no one will notice you left. What's better, leave and be forgotten or getting banned in the most spectacular way?

    Jump

  • Being perm banned without warning and no reason given. Just happened random. So I started to look for an alternative.

  • I apparently "threatened violence" for sharing a story about J6 criminals.

    Jump

  • I once got a warning for site rule 4 when I told a fetishist she shouldn't be in a subreddit for minors regarding that fetish. Somehow that was suggestion sexual exploitation of minors. I suspect that user reported my comment out of retaliation to try and kick me off reddit. I didn't appeal it because I figured i would just avoid that topic in the future and it was only a warning, not a perm ban or suspension.

  • Those who were absurdly banned recently... what was the ridiculous reason?

    Jump

  • Shoot, we have a proxy IP and I have no idea how to not have one. Plus my husband uses avg that blocks websites tracking him. He isn't banned on reddit but he's never posted anything. Only read.

  • Those who were absurdly banned recently... what was the ridiculous reason?

    Jump

  • No idea, it was random. I even looked through my comments to see any deleted content from reddit. I guess I was site wide banned for saying a killer is less dangerous if he only kills child predators. It was to an article about a man killing his cell mate for sexually abusing a kid. People in the comments praised him for it but other users had to remind them he is in prison for killing other people. I said he would be less dangerous if he had only killed child predators. That got me lot of upvotes. I couldn't find this comment of mine so I assumed reddit removed it.

    I also said another time how a kid had to die for the mom to finally get help from the state. The kid froze to death when the mom was homeless with her kids living in the car. Then the state of Michigan grants her a house when that should have happened before one of her kids froze to death. Obviously redditers knew what I meant because they upvoted it. I wasn't citing violence for kids to die for parents to get assistance from the state. Yet reddit never alerted me so I could appeal it. There is nothing in my messages about what content of mine violated their sitewide rules which makes me think it was done by AI than by a human.

    I guess this was citing violence against a group of people. :/
