Right now, I'm working on the planning stages for a video game. I don't know if it'll actually go anywhere, but it's something I've always wanted to do. I haven't told anyone except you guys, not even my wife.

Hmmmm, you don't seem actually banned, but .ml probably didn't skip 0.19.2 which had a bug that required to clear cookies and whatnot before logging in would work postupgrade.
Which is one of the main reasons why we hadn't upgraded yet, fixed in 0.19.3, but I'm not sure of the behavior of you don't skip 0.19.2.

Anyway, try logging into your account in a browser, in a private navigation window to be sure, I would expect it to work.

I tried that. Now it keeps saying "incorrect login credentials". Maybe I was hacked?

At least you don't seem banned to me...
If you used an email at sign up you should be able to reset your password using the "forgot my password" link when logging in.

If there's still an issue, you'd have to reach out to an admin on lemmy.ml.
Whether that's restoring access or deleting your data.
Maybe @[email protected].

Good luck

Ah I need to have an email address already linked to it, which I don't. I guess that's that. Thanks anyway.

Yea I guess there's no other way to really confirm it was your account without an email. Not that I doubt your story or anything, but restoring access without verifying email would open up a boatload of account hijacking shenanigans.

Yeah I can see how that would be problematic. Cheers.
