Reddit doesn't need you. Use to be a place for small communities to collaborate. Now its focusing all it's efforts on being a proprietor and distributor of information. Any function those small communities serve is not important anymore because their user base is so large and entrenched the only thing that can sink them is gross mismanagement. As we saw with Twitter, even then, the road to broke is long and spiraling.
Aleppo soap? It's made of olive oil and lye. As simple as it gets. Probably not good for aquatic life but better than most I would belive. It's got a distinctive scent, at first I didn't like it but it grows in you. Done wonders for my hair and skin.
Just use some slightly dirty sea water. It will smell like you were just at the beach. You can call it "the beach".
More commonplace than you think.
i got shadowbanned recently, just from a simple comment removal from a mod. but the reddit-wide filters immediately banned people, if thier posts gets removed.
Would a drop of Bulgarian rose oil not work?
EDIT: By this I mean the legitimate stuff made by hand in the countryside, not the chemically extracted stuff. It is extremely strong.
I am very fond of the Bulgarian oil. I actually have a rose garden filled with damask roses myself. But it seems that if poured in water it can damage the plants and fishes.. I wasn’t even aware of it until very recently.
I feel like it's always been like that. Did the mods give you a reason for removing your post?
No. I just got the removed by mods message.
To me it was the toxicity. I posted a meme about "look how they massacred my boy" and the old and new DonkeyKong designs and got downvoted and mean comments. The site went to shit after the API-price increase and the only reason I’m still on there is that my hobbies aren’t on lemmy yet.
If have I had to guess... a combination of well meaning rules built up over time that no one actually thought out, chronically online weirdos corrupted by the little bit of power afforded by moderating (which seems common in online communities) and cabals of state actors who moderate multiple subreddits in order to control and direct the narrative.
On the other hand, with how popular reddit has become and with how many bots are out there, it might be worse without the rules.
