I was promoting Lemmy in the place that I was supposed to.

Welcome to the club

I politely asked a mod about a subreddit rule and got a sitewide banhammer for harassing a mod

I appealed a few weeks ago and they never responded

Their system won’t let me send another appeal because it says I’ve already sent one

I had been on reddit for over 10 years, the whole thing is absolutely wild to me

I was livid until I found Lemmy, I much prefer this over reddit. It feels like old reddit and I even got my 3rd party app back!

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
