    I don’t really agree that it’s much easier to start on Reddit. Especially nowadays.

    -Post from an IP that was once used by a banned account? Also banned (after first being shadowbanned)

    -Try to post in any niche sub of your choosing after making an account? Forget it, wait three weeks and farm 3K karma first (which encourages shitposting and reposting, lowering quality)

    -Deviate a fraction of an inch from whatever sub’s 500-page rulebook? Banned.

    -Try to argue an unbanning? That’s a permanent mute.

    -Post anything - and I do mean anything - in a “wrong” sub, get immediately permabanned by a slew of subs you didn’t even know existed.

    -Some mod doesn’t agree with something you posted? Even if it was 5 years ago in a sub that has since been deleted? Banned and muted.

    Reddit is an absolutely terrible experience for new posters. How they even manage to retain a tenth of them is beyond me. I encourage them to keep it up however, more traffic for Lemmy.

    Yay!

    Gotta catch 'em all. Ain’t self-fulfilling prophecies grand? We get saddled with what are essentially debuffs for life, and as an added bonus we attract people who make all of them worse or even exploit them. And because we’re aware of this, it’s totally our own fault and responsibility to fix ourselves. If people keep taking advantage of us, well, that’s on ourselves for letting them!

    Why the fuck are we even born in the first place? As NPC’s for “real” people to have their way with?
