Obviously a few years ago, the API changes caused the reddit community mods to strike, and caused a mass-blackout of most reddit core communities. Eventually Reddit removed a handful of mod teams on some notable subreddits and caused the rest to chicken-out. But it did birth the Fediverse properly.
I suspect Reddit will make another step at some point which causes another comparable exodus. This time, if they do, the Fediverse is far better developed to handle it. What do you imagine it might be?
My appeal was rejected within 24 hours
It’s easy to make new accounts though if you just use a different browser
I waited a month before making an alt so as to “not break any further rules”. When I did, I used a different browser at a different IP of account creation than the ones that got banned, and it literally got banned in 24 hours.
I’ve had them banned after a few hours, and after a few weeks (I think someone who didn’t like me snitched)
Current one’s a few days old and going strong
Godspeed to ya then lol, maybe I’ll do a cache clear and redownload the apps if I get the itch to participate again.
Download a new browser that you haven’t used before onto a pc, don’t import any bookmarks or anything
Set up an account and let it sit for a while, participate in subs that you normally wouldn’t, things like knitting subs etc. for me,
Be patient
Eventually uninstall and reinstall the app on your phone if so inclined
Don’t link anything to the profile like a social media platform
Appreciate the tips! I’ll give that a shot.
