I've been "permabanned" from Reddit eight or so times, with all but the most recent one contested and reversed. Short story: I pissed off a certain turtle, and he made sure to report me for inciting violence every chance he got, which, best I can tell, is a preemptive ban regardless of post content. With this latest one, though, I'm done; I'm not even fighting it. I needed a good kick in the ass to get off of Reddit, and this is it.
I saw this happening in real life one time, on the back of a Dodge Neon. Best part is they were in the parking lot of a Planned Parenthood. We cheered them on, then went about our business.
One of the wonders of the fediverse is that it doesn’t have all the awful algorithms of Reddit or other social media platforms that are designed to relentlessly attempt to draw you in with increasingly hostile content. That’s not to say there isn’t a lot of negative content out there. There is. But, with Lemmy, or the fediverse more broadly, you have the ability to curate your own feed and an algorithm that will override that doesn’t exist.
I suggest using the “Block” button liberally. I’ve found that works pretty well for me.
