xQc came and totally wiped us out. We have a lot of work in front of us and we are a bit too small a team to hold this space if someone decides to take it from us. I’m really proud of how well we’ve been able to advertise Lemmy and fuck things up with our allies in Fuck Spez and Black Company (doing the 3rd party apps protest). Help us to close out /r/place with our banner intact!

We are rebuilding from the g at the end of the url at 38,-25

    side note, how in the hell is reddit infested with so many bots yet i cant get an alt that doesnt get instabanned for the life of me? the increasingly angry messages from the admins each time they swat a new one are funny and all, but i wouldnt mind an account to occasionally say something from. tried using VPN and it didnt seem to work. Note: am not a tech guy so probably missing something very obvious

      didn’t notice this, I use a couple of alts and create a new one from time to time (although I do this less and less because I mostly use lemmy instead now)

        yeah i had a main and 2 alts no dramas for years but my main got an out of the blue admin level ban with no warning (for calling someone a cooker, who was indeed, cooked), which led to my other 2 alts banned and any new ones i made

      While responding to another person with a similar problem, I saw someone suggest that another person’s VPN might have been using the banned IP Adress.

      My girlfriend also had the same problem right before reddit pulled the recent app shenanigans. All of her appeals were immediately banned, despite the fact that she only really lurked. Out of the two of us, we figured that my account would have been the one to go, because I actually commented and posted things. Nope.

        dang. thats frustrating. i seriously wonder how all the bad actors manage to keep popping up with new accounts. maybe cookies come into play, not sure (i didnt bother deleting)
