Got a 3 day ban from Reddit because someone abused the “Reddit Cares” function.

I’m just done.

You may see me around here but I’m just so tired of all of it.

It’s a fucking flashlight community - why on Earth is it so hard to participate without constant contrived bullshit?

And I don’t mean the mods on our sub - they’re great - I mean large sub moderators and Reddit’s lazy heavy-handed moderation.

Hoping to see more people come over to Lemmy in time but I know it might be an uphill battle.

See you later,

    Lots of us here from Reddit it seems, I think the community can rebuild here quickly. I’m done with reddit myself, let’s see how Lemmy is!

    I’m confused. Someone told Reddit you might be suicidal, so Reddit banned your account? I got a “Reddit cares” message during the reopen vote, but it did not ban my account, and I reported it as abuse.

    For everyone else, I’d like to suggest that future posts about Reddit and its problems go to /c/reddit.

    I’m hoping to see more folks come to Lemmy as well! You’ve got a home here with us!

    Also nice Beta QRV2. Such a snazzy looking AAA light.

    I just gave myself a lifetime ban from reddit today. I’m going to give it a few weeks so someone just doesn’t decide to do a mass-undelete, them I’m editing all of my posts to erase any usable content from them.
