One of three countries. I imagine it’s the one that created Sputnik. I have a couple of friends from there and have heard about the restrictions on the internet, but like the Great Firewall of China many people know how to bypass it.

Do you live in North Korea or something?

Banned from a sub Reddit, but you wouldn’t be banned from Reddit site wide - unless you off the scale heinous.

As much as I dislike Reddit’s direction and have had site wide temporary bans myself, i find it hard to believe you were properly banned for what you described. I was temporary banned because I was flaunting that I wasn’t abiding by Reddit’s rules, and even then, it was only a 2 week ban on a single account.

I don’t know much about Mbin. I’ll have to look up what it’s about

Any website or service that utilizes the .zip TLD 🤮🤮

I’m sure there are great websites and services that utilize it, but I have a strong opinion that the TLD should have never been put out there for people to use. I block all .zip TLD domains with no exceptions; and so unfortunately, I cannot use lemmy.zip.

To be fair, I have no real opinions about lemm.ee. It was one of the instances that had the most users when I joined Lemmy, and as far as I’m aware it hasn’t received any real negative press.

I’m more bothered about seeing or being associated with spam and/or an instance full of toxic people. I’m not a spicy person - or so I’d like to think.
