A platform without ads or evil corpo ownership? Yeah, I'd scared too.

I’m fairly certain linking Lemmy, even once, yields a shadow ban.

I cant even make a new Reddit account for anything, even from a relatively new IP after moving.

I don't think so. I see people on r/fediverse linking it.

Mmm, I don't like that, as now I have no idea why I'm shadowbanned.

And by that, I don't mean "I don't know why I was banned for all my outrageous spammy comments." I literally only posted wholesome, inoffensive, thought out stuff in 2 subs: a cartoon fandom and a self hosting community.

Yeah, they've been ringing the ban hammer quite hard lately.

I love lemmy, but I still miss my niche communities.

They're super easy to start here

I was born to follow and lurk, not lead. 😮‍💨

Shadowbans are illegal in the EU. They are technically legal but require the user to be notified of it, which doesn't make it a "shadowban" anymore.

Reddit tracks things like the hardware associated with an account so you'd need a new IP and new phone/computer and email adress.

I happened to move. And in theory, Cromite's anti-fingerprinting should hide that, but it's possible I accessed it with the wrong browser some time...
