Why I Left Reddit
I have some trauma after i got beaten up by my best friends for being annoying, after that i had a hard time starting to talk to new people, and when i learned that again, i had a hard time even getting near people if they did just a little thing, that went against my trust, and since then, that has also gotten a lot better, I actually thought i was over that, but now that reddit "betrayed my trust" i now don't use it for anything else then get more people to switch, I really dont like that part of me got brought back up, but im glad people are now switching to open source so this shit ain't happening again
I even made my first post in askreddit which was a question about why doesn't everyone switch to lemmy so we don't support a greedy corporation, i think i got a few people switched My last 4 posts is just promoting lemmy
I left Reddit because both my upvotes and my downvotes were not counted. It took me months to figure that out and luckily I did. I did not care much about the voting system in the beginning but I was lacking a feature that people had and that feature was the upvote notification that lets the person I am interacting with know that I appreciate his/her/their presence even if we disagree.
* Using a rickroll link where the URL says "my nudes" (banned for "sexualizing minors" because I am a minor) * Banned from r/AntiWork for crossposting from r/AntiWork to r/AmITheAngel ("trolling") * Banned from r/NoFap for mentioning EasyPeasy method to quit porn * I could have discovered EasyPeasy much sooner if r/NoFap did not ban people for mentioning it. It's extremely dangerous to censor this! * Banned from r/UglyUncensored for having a different opinion * Evading subreddit bans with alt accounts Reasons that Reddit is now banned from my life: * Harassing me by finding my alt accounts * It is very frightening to feel Big Brother watching you! * Allowing porn * Playing audio without any interaction, causing music to be paused (malware)
I had 3 accounts that were working well, but I had abandoned them for various reasons. Then, when I created the 4th one, I noticed something strange. Nobody was interacting with my posts or comments at all. No upvotes, no downvotes, no replies. I couldn't use the chat function at all, and regular DMs seemed to also get no reaction. When I used my other account to see comments or DMs of this one, I couldn't. They just didn't exist. When I tried to open this new account's profile page, it just told me the profile didn't exist. I tried creating 2 more accounts, and it was the same story. Finally I posted in r/help (iirc), and instead of getting a reply, I was told that this question had been answered before and my post was removed. The thing is, I had searched for an answer, I couldn't find anybody describe a problem like this. Eventually, I tried making a new email on Proton Mail, and register a new account using a VPN. That did the trick. But this experience left such a bad taste in my mouth. I cannot use any platform that treats me like shit. I dunno what was the issue there, but Reddit could've told me. Instead they decided to play this weird game with me. This is the first time I've ever seen a website do something like this. So I just got pissed off and left.
