Unfederated news thread? Unfederated reddit? *i then struggle to explain reddit
Is it social media? Is it a forum?
I live around more tractors than people for context of my audience. I can explain what unfederated aspect is no problem but i sould like my grandpa describing facebook to his older siblings when i try to explain what a lemmy or reddit style forum is to my peers and family.
when my suburban conservative suv conformity at all costs family is quoting reddit posts to me… yeah it’s way too mainstream. 10 years ago they would have seen reddit and dismissed it as a haven for leftwing nutjobs and nerds.
i haven’t used it in 5 years now.
You’d have been permanently banned by now.
i was ‘perma banned’ multiple times. IP bans even, and they kept unbanning me so they could sell me IPO stocks.
It’s a joke of a site now. most of my old communities imploded anyway, or got locked down to mod-only approved posting, which meant they became echo chambers of the mods beliefs only.
I only started catching bans within the past two years. What were you saying that kept getting you into trouble?
Either Reddit got significantly worse, or, my going paranoia: you become the target of political operatives (Zionists, in my case) who mercilessly report anything vaguely actionable until you leave. I just saw the light on Israel a short time before I began catching bans and warnings, but could just be a coincidence.
posting pictures of my cat and being reported for inciting violence. because he was outdoors in the picture and all outdoor cats are mass murderers, according to the Very Smart folks who use reddit.
That was a site-wide ban?
You said you got REPEATED bans, though. Does your cat have a Hitler mustache or something?
