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.

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.

That headline should read ‘Capitalist enterprise unsurprisingly open to the idea of making shitloads of money, but we like money too so we wrote an article about something that shouldn’t be news even to small children.’

I mean, if you believe Camus, yes?
