"If the government can prove this aspect of the case, it will be exceptionally difficult for the former president to mount a defense," Paul Collins said.
Reddit’s ban system is part of why I’m here. Got banned from sub for some bullshit reason. Months later I forgot. Tried to post under new account… sitewide ban. Essentially some belly lint eating idiot banned my primary email from reddit forever lol. All they have to do is not let you post in that sub ever again. But yeah that stupidity is characteristic of how they handle everything.
They don’t care about banning folks because as a social media site all they care about are numbers. Facebook’s stock was rocked a while back when its member count went down. Reddit’s number go up because people who get banned usually just start a new account. To Reddit management, that now means they have 2 isers when they try to sell ad space. It’s all a big scam because they are trying to drive up their numbers for their upcoming IPO.
I just don’t know how Lemmy works with bans and stuff.
One of my first posts on here was one where I hoped that Lemmy moved to a temporary-only ban system. Except for egregious cases (endless spam, etc), ban someone for 6 or 12 hours and that’s it. By that time most people have cooled off and most threads have died down by then. If the person was trying to be a troll, the ship has passed, and people’s attention have moved to the next hot topic.
Very good points I hadn’t considered. I should think though they’d be best served not perma-banning that email address in those regards. Simply filter out any posts I try to make to that sub, and if I really wanted to post to that sub THEN I would make a new email, and new reddit account. That would yield two accounts.
I’m so sick of Reddit BS. I just wish some of the more esoteric subs here had more traffic because they either don’t exist at all, or they’re as good as dead.

Your story has happened to a ton of other people.
