Just wondering what brought everyone here.
Background: I was banned from Reddit for questioning the system and feel that true leftist ideologies on Reddit are severely censored (despite being considered one of the few last leftist social media platforms). I think the left needs more tech literacy and I hope the Fediverse is the future.
So, I am wondering what made folks curious about alternative options?
Banned for no reason I could figure out. Never got any response from mods when appealing. Pissed me off that an account that I had for 12+ years with no warnings of any kind was shadow banned.
you were probably banned by association. could have made a post 10 years ago in a community that was banned and thus you were banned.
That’s one of the most infuriating things. Like, you get tons of posts on your frontpage that you did not choose. At some point you engage with some unhinged statement, trying to reason with the lonely wayward person that said something horrible or sad. You are now shadowbanned from multiple large communities, so no normal users will see your posts and you won’t even get notified that this action has been taken against you.
