      I was banned from r/gaming for posting a petition against this crap. That’s why I’m here now

        LOL because of course that happened. Why did it take you so long to come to Lemmy?

          I was here before during the protest last year but I wanted a new account and admittedly kind of stopped using it. I’m back for good now though

      Is it normal for either to actively be asking for chat bans because people are saying “mean things” (informing about their shitty decisions) about their company?
