3 Day Ban from Reddit (self.flashlight)

submitted 1 year ago by DuckDuckGoneForGood to c/flashlight

14 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Got a 3 day ban from Reddit because someone abused the “Reddit Cares” function.

I’m just done.

You may see me around here but I’m just so tired of all of it.

It’s a fucking flashlight community - why on Earth is it so hard to participate without constant contrived bullshit?

And I don’t mean the mods on our sub - they’re great - I mean large sub moderators and Reddit’s lazy heavy-handed moderation.

Hoping to see more people come over to Lemmy in time but I know it might be an uphill battle.

See you later,

I'm confused. Someone told Reddit you might be suicidal, so Reddit banned your account? I got a "Reddit cares" message during the reopen vote, but it did not ban my account, and I reported it as abuse.

For everyone else, I'd like to suggest that future posts about Reddit and its problems go to /c/reddit.

Someone kept spamming me with the “Reddit cares” thing. I reported it. Then got a 3 day ban. I wonder if it has anything to do with reporting it under Apollo…

Last time this happened, it was a permaban.

I’m just so tired of it.

Thanks again for maintaining the community here on Lemmy.

Unrelated to OP but commenting here since it's about reddit. Did you notice that mentioning Lemmy on reddit gets your comment shadow removed ? here's two of mine I just noticed thanks to this AMA about Revedit

Hi. I'm here too. Just nuked years of Reddit history.

Didn't realize you were the sandaled rider himself. Seems you and Tacgriz have the worst luck over there.

What a sensitive way for Reddit to show how it cares! Lol. Welcome to Lemmy and I hope you like it here. Reddit (Deaddit, ha) is dead now, as far as I'm concerned. I'm not 100% gone from there yet, but am working on it.

WTF, I'm sorry you've had to deal with that shit TWICE. I hope you stick around here and whatever trolls were harassing you on Reddit don't come over to Lemmy.

I'm hoping to see more folks come to Lemmy as well! You've got a home here with us!

Also nice Beta QRV2. Such a snazzy looking AAA light.

Social media platforms are weird.

There's a lemmy page for hanklights too.

Lots of us here from Reddit it seems, I think the community can rebuild here quickly. I’m done with reddit myself, let’s see how Lemmy is!
