I’m perma-banned on Reddit for accidental ban evasion (I don’t really want to get into it), so I came here as an alternative. But there isnt NEARLY as many communities or members as there are on reddit. But I cant go back there cus they perma banned me, that was 2 years ago when they first banned me.
Lemmy just isn’t the same, and I wish I could go back to Reddit, but that site is arguably more nerve-wracking to be on than anything else. What can I do?? What other alternatives do I have?
And no I cant really just not use reddit cus I primarily used it to ask questions about specific stuff or if I wanted someones opinion about a product or some thing. Reddit is often more useful than google is.
idk im just kinda upset and at a fuckin loss. What kinda website perma bans a user for life and logs all their info just to make sure they don’t come back?!
Yeah true. Reddit always just leaves me feeling mad. I just miss the NOVELTY of it. And thats why its hard for me to switch to alternatives (Commet over Discord, Lemmy over Reddit) Im such a sucker for gimmicks, I truly am. I like that I could dress up my lil reddit snoo and that it had R/place. It was fun, the alteratives, because they are acting as a replacement to an already established website, they dont have as many gimmicks if that makes sense. I dunno if thats for the best or not tho.
It does make sense: the alternatives are newer than Reddit, with relatively small dev teams, so the devs are still implementing core functionality and there’s no dev time for the gimmicks.
That said, r/place has a Fediverse equivalent: [email protected] , it’s annual and around July. It’s in a Lemmy instance but people can join it even from PieFed, Mastodon, and others. No snoo equivalent, though.
