Someone should mention nostr. Wonder if anyone has. It doesn’t have a reddit clone app available right now, but it inevitably will, and it’s the only social media thing I know of right now where you’re really pretty much immune to bans
Some apps like Primal (guessing that’s what you tried but could be wrong) are “controlled opposition” that promote Bitcoin content as much as possible to keep other users out, keep nostr small, and keep platforms like reddit / Fox News / etc at the top. This has gone on for years, they filter out all the non-Bitcoin users the way they filtered you out, and they keep building up more and more Bitcoin cultists to make the wall stronger.
You should definitely keep trying. If you don’t hate Bitcoin enough to take the opportunity to annoy the cultists by calling out their bullshit, you shouldn’t hate it enough to be driven back to places that can waste all your invested time by banning you. There are also apps like asknostr.site that you can find specific uses for while you wait for the “general social media” use to get more competitive with whatever else you prefer (like lemmy)
I don’t know what you’re doing with your web browser but I use mine to post on nostr without getting banned. Didn’t really have anywhere to safely post without getting filtered before nostr

Just checked it out and scrolled the feed for a hot minute, literally 2/3 of the posts are pumping bitcoin - I’m out.

Why would you think being immune to bans is a good thing?
nostr creeps me out.
Why do I need another fucking app for something that a web browser can already do? This is why nostr will never get rolling.
