I've had it with reddit

Reddit@lemmy.world – 152 points – 4 months ago

I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That's on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I'm also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

sea lion 😂 what a great description!

Can someone explain this reference?

Look up "2014 sea lion comic"

See this comic strip for reference:

On the internet it has become common to refer to the sort of behaviour that the sea lion from the comic is showing as "sealioning".
