Not pointing any fingers, but I’ve been told I’m ‘begging’ by sharing a fundraising page, asking for help.

Is there somewhere appropriate for such a post?

I’ve searched high and low, eventually opting for communities where it (to me) made sense to post.

    Ok let me clarify:

    I replied to a post about Nazis with something very anti-Nazi (you know, because nazis = bad, right?).

    I was suspended for that reply, and I circumvented the suspension by using another account, resulting in permanent suspension/ban. It was a long time ago and I would definitely do things differently now.

    Of course I’m not suggesting my opinion on reddit is more important than my boy, I just don’t have the means to post there, and I’m certainly not about to figure out how to get a new account set up without getting stung for more circumvention.

      Then you should probably say “I can’t use Reddit” and explain like you did here, rather than “I won’t use Reddit” and shutting down people just trying to help, which is what your previous reply amounts to. Not trying to antagonize you here, but if you are looking for help from strangers being able and willing to accurately explain your situation is important.

      Now we can suggest solutions. Do you know anyone that would be willing to post to Reddit on your behalf? The only reason Reddit is coming across so strongly as a recommendation is because the website is still huge and there’s a large community of people who would be willing and able to help with this situation there.

      Fuck reddit and all, but just trying to throw ideas out there for the sake of the cat. You could use a VPN to access reddit.

        Appreciate you replying.

        I have actually tried this in the past. It’s not that simple. Reddit uses a combination of IP, MAC, device, as well as other data to know who you are.

        I got someone else to post there for me, and it was removed because they didn’t have enough karma.

        Its fine. We’ve managed to raised £2,125 so far and we still have 24-36 hours to keep going.

        We’ve got good momentum and people are good. I believe.
