I have no doubts that banning is warranted on reddit. My initial ban from a few years ago was from me telling a young boy, maybe 16, to stand up for themselves rather than just get the school involved in a bullying situation. This was read as a promotion of violence. While that can be misconstrued, it certainly shouldn't be a reason to be banned. Im not not guilty of the ban evasion, but the initial ban was to me unwarranted and when I appealed it I was promptly denied.
I realize you are coming from a helpful place and I appreciate that but the enjoyment I get out of Reddit is my business to be honest.
You may see it as toxic but I find the community of it to be exactly what I prefer. I have AuDHD (which is ADHD with a pinch of high functioning autism) I like to jump from topic to topic. Some things that I need information on, some things that I just obsess about. Feelings to help understand. There was a large community of folks like me that understands how my brain works more so that having to explain it every time so it was a good place to just post and respond and feel apart of something. Actually I wouldn't have gotten diagnosed without speaking to people on there, getting through the stigmas and fears.
Do I fuck around on there as well, of course I do but it beats being around strangers.
Ps I do paint and have activities I do by myself but I am physically isolated alot (by preference) so Reddit was my outlet.
Lemmy isn't bad its just not as wide as reaching as Reddit
Maestro, I'll be honest it wasn't terrible. Its a shame it was up against The Zone of Interest and Oppenheimer. Bradley Cooper really did a great job.
Before watching it, I thought it was going to be contribe because its a biopic and there was alot of coverage about what Cooper put into it. Also I am not a big fan of Carey Mulligan, something about her face irritates me like Renee Zellweger or Kyra Sedgwick. Its no question about their abilities, I think it's autism but not so sure..anyway. Carey Mulligan was incredible in it, somehow better than Cooper. However she was up against Emma Stone and Lily Gladstone .
I could speculate but I'd rather ask in case it was something less obvious
