Ironically, a Reddit mod sent me this way (well, it was probably a bot). Somehow I’d managed to play by the rules for 13 years, but what do I know? Apparently it’s bad to suggest someone with very clear emotional issues find someone they trust to talk to about things - a friend, relative, or professional. It was a short interaction with a random commenter, but I was genuinely trying to be helpful.

I was banned for … bullying? Hate speech? Something like that?

Who knows. I forget.

I went and deleted it all, anyway. My entire account. No training their AI from my data, thanks.

And fuck 'em all to Uranus!

This place is far more interesting, generally the people are far more open, intelligent, and polite to begin with (and not automatically looking to go to war because someone else had the temerity to slightly disagree with them over politics, art, religion, whatever). There is definitely a more community feel overall.

I wish I’d been banned from Reddit sooner!
