Blame Match Group - they own almost all of them.

Yes, AND STILL - for someone whose only connection to those communities is online, still really sucks. Hopefully they reform elsewhere after the eventual implosion.

Infinity is/was my favorite for Reddit on Android, and Voyager is close enough. Just frilly enough, images/videos embed okay (though need some improvements to saving/downloading), and it just works.

99% sure - all the messages say "this action was performed automatically" and if I DO get a reply to a service ticket via email, it says "Thank you for your request, it has been received!" Which means they're continually closing the ticket I'm replying to asking for help.

With discord, though, the "server" part is largely hidden from the user or at least transparent - that's the thing. It simplifies the same concept into something more tangible.

I'm sure it'll go away with time, hopefully as more people join and contribute.

I just wish you had recourse for false (or maybe even correct, but heavy handed) bans, and it's still the largest gathering place for many communities - retro games, queer communities, other adult interest (not just pornography) spaces, local events/happenings, so it's really terrible to just be completely shut out of all of that. Whether voluntarily or not. (In my case not.)

👏👏👏 Very well said!

This exactly. Once I dove in and stopped reading, it oddly made more sense to me.

The problem is, and was for me too - that's not how people think of email. Saying "pick a server" is really arcane for most people, even "pick a domain." The fediverse as a whole has a terminology and jargon problem it still hasn't completely reckoned with, or at least figured out.

All of mine were just unilaterally banned at the same time. "Repeated, multiple violations of the content policy. Refer to messages in your other accounts as to why." No account had details as to why. I suspect it has/had something to do with my work VPN.

Trying to get used to it - slowly. I like it so far! Still super pissed that Reddit can just arbitrarily ban accounts, basically without recourse, and shut you out from any community you were in. Lots of niche queer ones I was in... just can't participate anymore.
