No warning, not even a "Don't do it again email" - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That's it, gone, banned.

I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that's banned too. FFS!

No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?

This happened to me. Best thing that could have happened. Welcome to Lemmy.

The flaws here are minor;

Skip around the computer talk and try to avoid Linux discussions.
Avoid/block anyone that uses the word "Zionist" ... they are weird and will just escalate into name calling.
Dont ask what a "Tankie" is, try and avoid them (same as 2).

The only real issue I've seen so far is that you'll get a thread where people don't read the damn article and someone will say something that we all might agree with if it weren't DIRECTLY OPPOSED TO THE ARTICLE and people jump on the bandwagon.

Getting downvotes for pointing out something that everyone SHOULD have seen is just irritating. But whatever. I move on from those threads and idiots can fuck off. heh.

(I know I'm wrong about many things, but I'm talking about literally people not reading the article and posting something stupid)

As a rule I do not click through to articles. Posts are not just ad space for media platforms. Include some relevant info in the title and post body. Then link to the article for reference.

There are many who won't click though, but there are a few exceptions to the rule. Like linking a long academic article for discussion.

If somebody comments to the subject of a post, as it's presented in the OP, their response is not stupid.

If the comment seems out of place because of the information left out of the OP then the fault of the confusion lies on the poster for their low effort post.
