Yep, that’s how I found Lemmy because Reddit banned my old roommate years ago and now every time I try to make an account it gets banned too. Reddit is dumb and they keep shooting themselves in the foot with this crap, but hey I got some good sales out of it 🤷🏻♀️

Agreed. Sadly I think their management has lost the plot.
Imagine you’re a city mayor, and the more people live in your city the more you get paid. You probably start out trying to build a utopia, but then there’s a slippery slope of ‘well option A is more resident-friendly, but option B will mean more people move in’ and you start with one or two of those because nobody will notice and after a while it becomes a mindset that’s part of every decision process- ‘how will this affect our population?’
Reddit, Facebook/Meta, Twitter, Discord, TikTok, all doing it.

I got banned for mentioning Lemmy too often. Glad you are here.
