Lol, that smart technical witch might be me - I'm a systems engineer by trade, I just haven't had any free time to look into standing up an instance. (I'm spending all my time protesting on the weekends!) 😂

I've been listening to this in the mornings when I swim btw. It's so soothing, really bringing me a lot of joy in a world that is otherwise upside down right now.

 

Lol, sorry to sound desperate, but I've just realized a few days ago that my Reddit account has been locked for weeks and I can't seem to unlock it, despite following the posted instructions.

I was starting to notice that no one was responding to my comments, and none of my posts were getting comments and upvotes, so I went digging into my inbox and found the notice that the account had been locked because of "suspicious activity". (I've been moving away from Gmail, so I think I changed the email address on the account, probably more than once in the same week. That's my best guess as to what they considered "suspicious".)

And of course support is non-existent and unresponsive. I guess this is a "shadow ban"? I feel like a spirit haunting Reddit, watching everything from the outside and trying my best to break through and be heard, but to no avail. :lolsob:

I can't decide if I want to just delete the account, ditch 6 years of history, and start over? (My cake day was coming up in April too!) Or just hang on a little longer and hope more people make their way over here?

:D Have you seen any of TM:MN? If not, I highly recommend going back to season one and starting there. The whole thing is clearly a labor of love.

I swear, these get better and better all the time - for an amateur show, it’s just so good.

Right? All they ever do is issue warnings.

I use are.na as a Pinterest alternative. It’s not exactly the same - the vibe is a lot artier over there - but I still use it as a visual pin board.

Because I didn’t already have enough to worry about. 🙄

Along the lines of “the old ways are the best”, I have a handful of old Llewellyn books (from the 90’s, I guess you’d call them vintage by now?) that I like to turn to. They’re simple, clear, beautifully illustrated. I’ll have to pull some of them out and post pictures at some point.

Ooh this sounds cool - thanks for posting about it!

:D I wish I had something more interesting to say, but it’s been a long day. I’m just glad some of us are making it over here.
