        Damn you have an account quota lol? Did you stop using the feddit account for political reasons, or other?

          Not really a quota, just that the feddit.org one was the one I was using for !movies@lemm.ee and !Television@lemm.ee, then I switched to lemmy.ca for that one, but then I was still missing another one.

          Did you stop using the feddit account for political reasons, or other?

          Well, let’s say it’s not a coincidence.

      The problem is that people in your lineage probably have, and you’re probably indirectly caught up in that dragnet because of it.
