I do live here and have been on the bad side (not a criminal but was investigated thoroughly for being in/working in the wrong place wrong time stuff). Clowns are absolutely more functional.
I purposely nuked my account after the API fiasco by hugely shit talking a particularly awful moderator, which was fucking awesome. Same story though, got banned, no message, but I was unable to appeal. Never looked back. I was never attached to my points because what the fuck does that matter anyhow. Lemmy is way better after you get used to it. Have fun. Fuck Reddit.
See, I knew I should've been more specific. You found a loophole. Keep trying and you'll find a poophole too probably. I recommend not going dry on that if you actually love your grandma.
Be sure to print in color otherwise they'll all look the same
