So, I know this isn’t a help forum or anything but, being Lemmy I’d think some people are on the same boat as me too.
I got permanently Banned in reddit for vote manipulation, I foolishly and childishly used 2 accounts to up vote myself to make it seem I was winning arguments. I then created a new account to start fresh but I didn’t know that counted as a Ban Evasion(I didn’t know ban Evasion was a thing), but that got banned too.
I’ve appealed by apologizing since I am guilty and genuinely sorry , however I’m not a spambot or anything. I made a mistake and just want a second chance.
Is there anything else I can do to start fresh “safely”? (factory reset my android device? I Can’t change my external IP tho) Has anyone been on a similar situation and gotten their account reinstated?
Being honest I like Lemmy but it’s nowhere near as populated as Reddit, sadly
Yet those stolen art print-on-demand shirt and mug scam networks go completely unscathed.
You sure you want to go back there where 90% of content is a scam, subtle advertising, straight up advertising, karma farming to eventually advertise, ragebait to farm engagement for advertising, all with actual ads in between?
Reddit is not fun, it’s addictive. It’s addictive because it allows you to feel something other than emptiness, and often has you angry or sad. The good thing about lemmy being small is that you can now do something other than mindless scrolling.
