That’s odd. Their own sidebar points to a Want to reform work? Start or join a union where you work. post, so your ban was perhaps not tied to your use of the U-word.

On that note, maybe it would have been more constructive to post your actual question here rather than a “I got banned” post.

DrTautology OP ,

It doesn’t matter. I’m over it. Just happy to find a good alternative to Reddit. I was only asking if anyone knew of business cards with information and directions to resources for people that would benefit from unionization. I come across a lot of workers that would benefit from unionization and it would be nice to just be able to discreetly hand them a card.

Contact any local union in your area. They can point you in the right direction. UAW, IW, IBEW, any of them should be helpful if you call them and ask about obtaining materials and information.

If you’d be over it: Why bring it up? Why complain about those mods? Why use insults and question the mods here?

DrTautology OP ,

Because I’m not going to bother with this community if it’s run by the same petty assholes that banned me and lied about the justification. Thus my request to be banned if this is just more of the same.

You’re being weirdly combative and accusatory at a community that has done nothing to you. I can guarantee you’d get a more positive response here if you just asked your question instead preemptively telling off the mods on the off-chance there is any overlap with reddit. Your gripe is with the subreddit, not this Lemmy community. Welcome to the fediverse, consider it a blank slate. Poke around the community & see if you like it here. If not, no harm no foul.

DrTautology OP ,

I don’t see anything I’ve said as “weirdly combative”. This community has the same name, same logo, same rules as the subreddit. It’s not weird to assume it is the same place run by the same people. I’m glad to hear it is not however. I’m a staunch proponet of the mission and wholly support spirit of the community.

Some people aren’t being as empathetic as they could. Please don’t take it personally. A lot of us (myself included) are reddit refugees, and being accusatory/defensive is often the default. It takes some time to realize that it’s okay to give people the benefit of the doubt.

We knew things were bad, but we didn’t realize just how bad it had gotten over there. I’m only half joking when I call it PRSD (Post Reddit Stress Disorder).

If you don’t want petty assholes in the community, maybe don’t post petty assholery in the first place? Leave reddit behind, just post what you were going to.

DrTautology OP ,

Oh thanks, really helpful and totally not perry assholery!

Any time. Be the change you want to see in the world.
