Comment on When You Block the Internet on Your Phone, Something Astonishing Happens Mentally
Dil@is.hardlywork.ing 10 months agoShoutout reddit for banning me, they accidentally helped me pull myself out of a cycle of looking at news that pissed me off and arguing with strangers. Lemmys a lot better with it, reddits just filled with controversy algorithim and bot posts. It got me to delete X too, same problem since musk took over, miss the old agorithim, but its never coming back. (old reddit is dead too, gotta accept it, was fun af while it lasted)

That’s good to hear since rage-baiting was becoming common on the platform. I didn’t know Reddit banned people though. Do you mean banned form certain subreddits or from the whole platform?

The public freakout sub apparently, commented on an alt on a post with thousands of comments, and it was an auto perm ban for my 3 accounts for evading a ban, I was someone who liked commenting into the void, not getting replys on front page posts felt weirdly good. The comment that got me banned wasn’t controversial, it was automatic and instant.

👀 that’s insane. I guess moderation has become stricter for some reason.
