…its kinda funny that I received a lifetime ban from reddit for glorifying violence.

…with a joke about Princess Leia killing Jabba the Hutt no less

    I have a question about reddit bans. I’m not tech savy. And I am not advocating anything illegal. But is it possible to actually get into their system and reverse a permanent ban?

      Why would you even attempt that if you can much more easily circumvent their ban by using a vpn. Assuming that you can still use a vpn, I’m not on reddit anymore.

        I think they use browser fingerprinting to prevent that. They could also block Vpn traffic

      Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don’t care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

      Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can’t correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don’t concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.

        Main issue is Lemmy is just…missing the really niche communities and cool people. It’s the private chats I miss the most, and roleplaying with people. Randos hitting you up for a chat, or being supportive, who you will likely never see again is kind of heartwarming. It reminds you that all of us humans really are in it together…except the power tripping ones apparently.
