Seems like an opportunity to lose users. The whole instance thing is already kinda confusing for new people (source: just joined yesterday), but making every instance only connect to a select few instances would mean having to make an account on multiple different instances if you wanted to see a disparate selection of content. As much as I enjoy debating politics and religion I wouldn’t join a server that only showed those communities because I also like videos of huskies being sassy, battletech memes, etc.

What’s hilarious is that my perma-ban got lifted on appeal, I can post and shit now, but the message they sent me said it was denied and would stay in place. They are so goddamnned confused over there.

Thanks, that ought to get me started.

The message about my perma-ban was actually 11 hours older than the message about my temp-ban being lifted, so they perma-banned me and then un-temp-banned me, which is… kinda fucky.

Two reasons.

1. Because you don’t get what you want out of life by running from pain, you just have to embrace the suck.
2. Because I’ve had chronic back pain for the past ~20 years and there’s nothing my doctors can do about it, my only alternative to pushing through the pain is to make myself unable to feel pain anymore, and despite the pain I still quite enjoy life.

I’m new myself, thanks for the recommendations. While you’re at it, do you happen to know of any good political/religion debate … subs? what are they called here? I’m going to call them subs for now. Maybe some Anarchist and non-tankie Communist subs?

I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on ‘my other accounts’ – I’ve had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I’ve been there, I don’t even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it’s overturned I’m not sure I’m going back. They’ve gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it ‘inciting violence.’ Fuck 'em.

Yeah, it’s textbook enshittification.

Windows user who turned that shit on within an hour of installing the OS:

I’m kinda weird in that I’m very text-oriented rather than visual-oriented, and this even results in a preference for keyboard over mouse, if I can’t hotkey a thing by god I will go get a tool that will let me hotkey it, etc. As such, I type everything up in a notes app that syncs between my phone and PC. Also, while I do sometimes bookmark things, I often forget that I have so most things I find again just by remembering what I searched for last time when I find it.
