So, I’m joining to say Hi. Just got permabanned from Reddit, and my appeal denied.

They’re really big on punishing the victim there. You make a post, someone attacks you in one way or another, and if you respond YOU get the penalty.

My case was that I posted pictures on an LED lighting sub, asking advice on under-cabinet lighting. Well, some people, instead of answering the question started shit with me about the clutter on my countertops. I called one user out on that, pointing out that that was NOT what I was asking about, and he apologized. Cool…

Some other busybody wanders in to the conversation to tell him that he had no need to apologize. I called THAT guy out, pointing out that his “input” wasn’t asked for, nor wanted. I don’t even think I called him names, but I DID tell him to basically mind his own fucking business.

I get banned, for “threatening or glorifying violence”. I’ve been through the conversation a dozen times at least, trying to find the whole “violence glorifying” part, can’t find anything at all, and my single appeal that I was allowed got denied.

I just want a site where I can browse communities like Reddit (I used it a lot for tips on home maintenance, LED projects, lockpicking as a hobby, etc.), but where there is an ACTUAL appeal process and not a lot of HOA Presidents in training with the keys to the castle.

I hope I found the right place. It seems cool so far. :-)
