Man, I had recently spent a lot of time designing advertisement stuff around an established brand identity, that was pretty much going for a classy/luxury aesthetic. So I was basing all my designs around that identity. Made lots of variations, took many hours perfecting it.

Then was told they didn’t like it. They wanted something entirely different that “screamed” budget and flashy colors and shapes.

Got it just perfect on the second attempt after being briefed properly, but it did really hurt when my first attempt was shot down so easily.

What?

Removed by mod

I was practically forced to move to other platforms, including Lemmy, because Reddit’s way of dealing with things is absolute garbage. Their app is garbage, their ethics are garbage, their admins and moderators are garbage.

In short I got permabanned on the entirety of Reddit after confronting a moderator in my favorite sub violating their own (and Reddit’s) rules and content policy. Which eventually led being banned on the sub by said moderator, and later Reddit got triggered as I was “avoiding a ban” with an alternative account (which happened accidentally).

Since then it’s been impossible to get in contact with admins, and they’ve been autobanning any new accounts I tried to set up. I’ve been trying to appeal my bans dozens of times in the past year, but never get an actual response from an actual admin, I doubt they even have humans working at Reddit at this point. That’s on my 8+ year old account…

Previously I also got permabanned on dozens of subs for commenting in a sub that was supposedly brigading, I didn’t even have any harmful intention or said anything worthwhile of a ban, yet all those completely unrelated subs banned me for “participating” in the brigade thing.

It just shows what absolute trash moderators and admins of Reddit are. They’re all only playing their own little agendas. They’re only destroying their own community with stuff like this. I miss my favorite communities, but I absolutely don’t miss the garbage surrounding it.

I heard he hangs his toilet rolls facing inside too.
