It may not be that long compared to some of yours out here. It stings because that account was my main account, so many memories in it and I even met my wife through it. Unfortunately, I have recently experienced what I can only describe as sabotage on my account.

I don’t know much about how Reddit and moderation works behind the scenes but recently everything I post in different subs keeps getting auto-removed without any explanation whatsoever. If I message the mods of those subs, then there are only three responses: 1) no response whatsoever, 2) sarcasm and unkindness without actually assisting me, and worse 3) a permanent ban without further elaboration.

Googling “how to report abusive Reddit mods” comes up with a bunch of threads all saying the same thing: there is no way to report them. Additionally, I have encountered individuals who dismiss or deny the existence of moderator abuse within the platform. I’ve decided it’s just not worth my mental stress to put up with this circus and just start anew and keep a low profile. I’m also trying out here in Lemmy, maybe this is better.

Please be better.

    This may look like a good idea on the surface, but by doing so, the US signals to the rest of the world that they are not a safe place to keep your money. That would just accelerate the already large decline of the dollar as a global reserve currency. Why would any country after that trust the US to hold their money when they can just be cut off from it at any time for any reason the US chooses?

      I think you misunderstood his suggestion. I didn’t read it as confiscating Israel’s assets in America, just diverting the aid the US sends them.

        Yeah, in looking at it again, I see what you mean.

        Edit: I know what happened. I got my wars mixed up. I was thinking Russia, Ukraine. Not Israel.
