argh, My other reddit account has been suspended for suspicious activity 😟

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

So who/what were you suspicious of?
I'm very glad I've stopped going to r/melbourne (except now and then to observe). Not a patch on what it used to be.

I check r/melb probably once a month or so and check the top posts of the month just to keep up with the latest bitchings about cafes and speeding fines. I really love the community we have in our DT, and it feels a lot closer knit than Reddit's (although that's probably because I barely know most of the people left over there), but I do wish we'd have some more general posts besides news articles

I think my new year's reso might be to post more photos I take, meme about random signs, etc etc

The boys were playing with a vintage puzzle yesterday that I'll make a post out of. It's from Melbourne and over a century old.

I thought the crowd here would get a kick out of it. I wouldn't have posted it to Reddit, it's not the same vibe there. Getting 10 points for a post here is totally fine, but it'd be like a failed post on Reddit.

It would be good to have a place to post say miscellaneous stuff. A bit like here but Oz wide.

Yeah cause (most of) the champs are over here now!

I checked today and yesterday's threads over there out of curiosity and the only people I really remember are HurstbridgeLineFTW and Goddess_Amaterasu. I vaguely remember a few others, and then there's some people I feel like I see here sometimes too
