If seen as a solution, it’ll lead to disaster. If seen as a tool, then something good could come. But a tool being a tool, it’s as good as the person using it. And there’s the concern of it causing addiction similar to TikTok to be tackled if it is to be reliable, and not a dependence source.

Did it myself. Thanks to point out. =D

Federated, ye:

Design-wise, Friendica resembles Facebook.

I’d add to the suggestions Friendica too. Unfamiliar with Piefed (maybe I’ll create an account on the flagship instance to try out), but the other two also allow following microblogging stuff (e.g. Mastodon), as well as having microblogging functions to thread posts (e.g. boosting and tags).

Preaching the choir here, but please use it as a motivation to feed the fediverse more. 👌

And related to this, a good use of the fediverse is that, if there’s nothing inherently bad about what you’re trying to post but your chosen instance is tripping like Reddit, you can just give the finger to it and pick another instance. Or if the community is the one tripping, you can make your own, or look for an already existing alternative.

Pretty useful imo so when you’re browsing, you only find posts you didn’t see before.

A hidden post is hidden only for the account that jod it.

Not quite the same, but since Reddit doesn’t want you there, why not try feeding other forums? There’s plenty outside of the fediverse too.

All news are biased. The ones that say otherwise are trying to trick you into being more susceptible to what they want.

Community mention, which should be instance-agnostic: !genshinmemepact@ani.social

Dunno if it’s as advanced for what you need, but apparently PieFed does.

If you must browse places other than your subscribed feed, I’d suggest blocking news and country-related communities. Exceptions may happen, so maybe worth not being too trigger-happy and evaluating if the community is problematic.

Also, since you’re on Lemmy, there’s no native option for it, but you can hide posts with Ublock Origin when they link to sites that are usually agenda or political bickering-driven.

Now it’s quite a meandering description :v

Twitter is more of a formal place when it involves organizations, so you can tell easily if you can deal with these things there. From my experience, Facebook is also similar.
And about Discord, individuals and some times even organizations point to there, so that’s a reassurance. Also you could try commenting (politely) in their public posts about your issue, indicating you need help. And worst comes worse, if your country has an equivalent to the Brazilian site “Reclame Aqui”, a site for registering issues in services that even companies started paying attention to, you could comment there.
Also I don’t know why you think you couldn’t. If anything, they seem to refuse communication, and in due process the accused can defend oneself, so you’d be looking for ways to do so.

Dunno your region, but Registro.br’s domains are rather cheap imo. However, I need to check again, but afaik it’s only for people with CPF or CNPJ, the Brazilian equivalents of person and company identification numbers.

Reiterating, you can never truly known if you don’t try.

Can’t truly know without trying. And in case it improves your hopes, I’ve seen cases of people being helped respectively by Steam’s owner and Xbox’s CEO directly just by finding the right emails and asking politely and orderly.

Dunno for Reddit specifically, but I’ve seen companies, staffers and related responding on Discord, Twitter, Facebook and directly through email. Also yet to test, but I’ve seen some with presence on Bluesky too.

Some times relevant people, or even official accounts, have presence in other services. That’s what I meant about finding someone from there to request help.

I’d suggest escalating the issue if you must get your account back. See if you can find a moderator, administrator, staffer, etc., willing to lend you an ear.

Otherwise, I’d suggest looking for other forums where you can participate in, including here in the fediverse.
