It seems a lot of people feel that way. Enough people to revive forum usage, I believe - we should put our heads together in places like https://lemmy.world/c/forums and promote forum usage, as well as shared different forums we’ve been posting on

Given that weed is legal there, were there a lot of people who grew their own weed or actually not that much? Or is that something people would just keep to themselves anyway?

Reddit basically teaches people to be pandering self conscious kiss-asses with a penchant for bullying the underdog + general groupthink.

Well thank you for the explanation! From a bit of googling it seems that other redditors also experienced being “suddenly unbanned,” which chalks up with what you said.

Does that mean i should completely avoid viewing reddit and then 100 days on from my last viewing they’ll forget my IP and i can join again? (Assuming of course that it’s a new email address)

Or do they ‘hold’ the IP from when you did the first infraction rather than whem you did the latest visit?

I agree… Simple way of putting it is that it just makes you smarter. The same way that solving puzzles as a kid (well, at any age) makes you smarter.

Maths is really just a series of puzzles. I think people mainly despise it at school when they haven’t engaged enough with puzzles as a youngster.

Have you been told there’s a 100 day cool down? I was told my account was banned (with zero info/explanation) forever and even when I use VPNs I get Shadow banned until I open up Reddit without a VPN so I assume it’s really forever
