So, I have a main account, where I'm the asshole editor with lots of opinions, and then two others for things a bit more spicy.

Both of those have been suspended for "suspicious activity" roughly 30 hours apart. For, you know, posting what I usually do.

The thing is, one of these -- I'm in the eight-year club there -- is associated with an email address that was terminated for lack of use, so I can't reset my password as prescribed.

The other was suspended yesterday every single time I posted anything, resulting in multiple password resets. I've not posted anything there today, but ... hey, look, it's suspended again.

Is Reddit just making a hard turn toward banning adult content? r/help seems to have a few other people in my boat wondering what the fuck is going on, but I can't find any sources suggesting a shift in policy. And I can't post in r/help on my main ... the submit button does nothing.

It's just time

I started out on reddit years ago and I even became a mod in a small niche community I grew from a dozen people to about 500 ..... it took about six years of regular engagement and contact with people. It was actual work in my free time but I enjoyed it.

Same is happening here but lemmy has competition .... reddit was great years ago and no one needed alternatives so they stayed with it and no one could compete because there was no need for anyone to do anything.

But now everything is in transition and it's going to take years to see where things go.

I don't care, I'm staying here, I get my fill here, people are nice and it feels a bit like reddit ten years ago. Can't wait to see what this place looks like in ten years.

    I think we all get that it will take time, but whilst we wait, what happens about his PV system?

    Pay a dude

    People don't seem to notice how we've stopped paying dudes. Now that we've stopped paying dudes, is anything cheaper?

    Heh ... I just spent a week and a half crashing with a friend to get help troubleshooting my fridge. I brought the final pieces he needed to get the solar for his van hooked up because they were at this point spares and relics of dead-ends. You don't need to pay a guy; you just need to know the right person.
