So true for all FOSS projects, the more successful they become the more new users expect a customer service dept.
I'm loathe to defend Reddit's moderation decision but my experience you can never trust the person being banned to explain why they were banned.
Because it is a post to an entirely different social media site.
Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:
That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.
It doesn't shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but "multiplied tens of times"? A recent comment me chuckle:
"Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore."
(implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).
I think it's interesting how "maximizing for engagement" inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?
Fedora is a solid choice. I recommend Kinoite because it's familiar to Windows users and impossible to break.
startrek.website hosts two other UIs that might help you until the fix is made.

Because you can't control human beings? I'm not entirely sure what you mean. The entire reason the structure of ActivityPub and the Fediverse is what it is, is to have moderation not controlled by a single entity. Enforced consolidation is both impossible and would defeat the purpose.
Lemmy "communities" are structurally just modified user accounts. So it seems like it could be possible for one to "re-toot" a post similarly to how it can be done on Mastodon and elsewhere.
Good Lord, didn't anybody here build ships in bottles when they were boys?
S-tier effort meme. 
Totally I loved seasons 4 and 5 the most
