    Has anyone else been banned from the PapayaDirtyDietCoke sub? I made the most innocuous comment about making fun of AF’s blog post and got banned 🫠. I really don’t know what I did wrong! If I broke a rule then I wouldn’t have done it again.

      I think a lot of people were removed while they looked for people in there reporting. I didn’t comment, just enjoyed reading likeminded people. I got removed and can’t get back in. I loved that group with my morning ☕️

        Me too! I just liked to read the snark, it was my way of decompressing after the work day and before bed 😂

          Yes that’s right! I commented in there a lot and didn’t break any rules that I was aware of (never received any warnings of any kind either).

        Exact same situation here. It seems like I’ve been rejected twice now trying to get in. I’m giving up

      I don’t envy the position of the mods right now, but kicking a bunch of us out for whatever reason hasn’t really solved anything when the troll is screen recording current posts and posting them to her stories still. Hopefully, they can solve the mystery soon, but it sucks for all of us to be on the outside and missing out.

      If you truly were banned, though, that really stinks.

        Appreciate your understanding! We’ve been working overtime to get rid of that parasite Lauren/michelle but it seems she’s still in there.

        We took zero chances when that imbecile started posting our personal Instagram accounts and profile pictures and it’s taking a lot of our time to weed through all the approved users.

        Us four mods are asking for your patience while we double down on pest control.

          TOTALLY get it! I tried to phrase that carefully because I don’t want to offend any of you doing the hard work, but apologize if it came out wrong! Just sucks to be on the outside watching her taunt you all!!! Hoping for the best!

            We are still trying to make sure the troll is really gone. It’s also difficult when we don’t know the Reddit usernames for those of you who are here. They are obviously still lurking around and we are just being extra cautious. Bear with us 😊

          Do you know why I got banned from the group? My comment was in reply to another comment and didn’t break the rules from what I can see. I sent a message to mod mail but haven’t heard back. I’ve been snarking since the beginning (under a different account for the past couple of years because Alicia tried to dox me) so was surprised by the immediate ban…

        Yeah I got a message that I was banned and it linked to the comment I mentioned. I messaged the mods so hopefully I hear back.

      Did you get notification of a ban? I’ve been trying to flag getting back in with no luck. Not sure what the deal is. So I’m joining the lemmy ranks.
