Completely fair, just the difference and lack of constant flow of content is going to put off many people and without a significant enough drive there's no point to get used to the new environment.
I've reached to similar conclusion myself after some testing and words of some moderators of subs.
I was thinking about testing it out on a virtual machine, but it's probably easier to just move over to alternatives. I'll probably still give it a shot at some point when I'm bored.
That's good to know.
I was wondering and testing the exact pattern to avoid shadowbans. I'm just bored after getting permabanned and got curious what methods they use to give out shadowbans.
Few specifying questions, if you don't mind.
On the part without VPN. Wouldn't that get a usual ban? Or it's already beyond that scanning timeframe after 10d.
And you mentioned browser. Is it specifically browser and app usage must be avoided or was it just an irrelevant word choice and app can be used as well?
Additionally, wouldn't just aging the account by 30d work or the no activity part still gets flagged by the system?
It still is more populated and has a lot higher activity, which suits slightly better for doomscrolling.
Lemmy needs to get slightly more popular.
And maybe a centralized place to find different instances?Like i haven't found any active fitness related ones.
It's like coming from a convention Hall full of people and going into a minimally occupied hotel.
Yeah they have really gone over the top with enforcing R1. Upvoting is already enough to get banned as it falls under sharing and it doesn't have to actually mention any harm to the individual, just reference R1.
Noup, choose one. Cant complain over both, gotta suck it up.
I'm going to be rather pissed if someone starts to complain about both and will do everything in my power to remind them the opposite of what they're complaining over.
Gotta encourage kids to try again. To become better.
Though yeah, second place is the first loser, but I wouldn't only limit it to kids.
Many competitions have this weird participation trophy thing."Congratulations, you we're 9673 of 10000, here's a medal".That's like mocking and devaluing the effort of those who actually did put in the effort to come first. It's celebrating mediocrity and lazyness.
I'm not sure such a thing exists. Compliments are already awkward and uncomfortable or do absolutely nothing, which makes it awkward again as i need to pretend some over the top positive reaction.
So all the bans were just performative. As soon as it gets slightly uncomfortable, sanctions are removed.
