I really feel like it depends on location. I actually really love the dominoes near me.

I am very grateful for them. If i am to be honest, though, Im not sure how well id fair on my own. They dont care for me. But it would not be comfortable from a financial point of view.

33 here.

At least I get along with them really well

Because I hate Reddit

She’s got nothing left now.

Not doing well I must admit. Lot of bad emotions and I’m not sure why they’re here. I just kind of stay sad.

Wdym?

I think it was just the message I got from being banned.

Supposedly a human being saw what I did and thought it was tantamount to taking a creep shot in public and posting it on Reddit. When I appealed again, another human supposedly doubled down on the decision.

I did not share this part, but elsewhere on Reddit I posted asking for advice about it. And the reaction was basically “Well who cares how popular someone is, it’s still without their permission 🤷”.

Which that made sense to me but it also didn’t … All the images were allowable on reddit except that one (and again, that’s assuming I’m correct about it being that one, they never told me).

So I think it’s Reddit’s Admins and as well as other individuals there on r/modsupport all claiming I had no place on Reddit ever again. It made me feel really gross and second guessing everything I did.

Edit: one tiny extra detail. My brother in law uses Reddit on his phone when he comes over with my sister. I’m worried that a ban for ban evasion will kick in while he’s using it here. I have no idea if he uses the wifi or not.

I may check it out.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Is discuit active?

I appreciate it.

Ah ok. Thanks.

I understand it takes a while to federate, but do they federate for all instances?

Does the name change only show there or is it supposed to accompany the post as well?

Edit: Never mind, I see what you’re saying now.

Please don’t give up. ✊

At my work I wish everyone would just get a sticker every time they came through on something.

That way I know I did good and can feel good about it on my own.

When someone is like “Hey I just wanted you to know I appreciate what you do around here :)” I have no idea what to do with that.

It’s definitely slower than Reddit.

Just a couple things to keep in mind from what I’ve seen:

If you notice a community hasn’t had a post in a couple months, don’t assume it’s dead. I’ve posted in places that haven’t had activity in months and gotten several replies relatively quickly.

A lot of Lemmy is news and memes. So you might have to get used to embracing that if you aren’t already. Going to “all” and sorting by new is what I mostly do here.

I was kinda sad too, but the further away I get from the time I was banned the more manageable it is. Just give it time 👌

I got perm banned for supposedly breaking Reddit’s rule 3.

Basically it just says you can’t post sexualized photos of people without their permission.

The photos I shared “without permission”, however were of popular, commercially available adult actresses specifically on a subreddit cetered around just that. These people are so popular they appear in memes on SFW subreddits. They have massive subreddits centered around them. Of all the NSFW content allowed on reddit, it is among the most allowed.

The only exception was that I think one of the photos I posted was OF content or something that was intended to be behind a paywall. That’s the only guess I have. But even this person shows up all over the place on reddit from people who are definitelt not her.

I won’t deny that if that’s the case I was being careless. But I tried to appeal, and was denied. I can’t get over the fact that supposedly a human looked at that and said that what I did was tantamount to taking a creep shot of someone in public and then posting it to reddit.

I’m fine with never using reddit again, but that had me scared I had found myself in some sort of serious trouble…

Ya know, it’s funny…

When Alex Pretti was shot there were a lot of debates about to what extent it was his own fault. Again and again MAGA republicans would bring up things like “Well, his family said he was starting to act weird” or “Well, he kicked a tail light out of a ICE vehicle a week before…”. Anything to make him seem like a worse person than he way, as if it should negate any sympathy felt for him.

Well, here’s someone saying the ICE officer in this case was not a good person; that he was unstable, and had violent tendencies. What will MAGA say about him I wonder? Will they remain consistent and say: “Yes, it makes perfect sense that an unstable person with a gun cannot be trusted in these high intesnity situations. He is not a hero”?

I’m not counting on it, personally.

They know that, too. They don’t even care to hide it anymore.

I’ve never had use for one.

But I did spend some time learning German and was able to hold conversations to an extent. Was interesting and fun and made some friends (they wanted me to stop trying so hard and just speak English lol).
