Reddit

Given Reddit is full of nasty things, they ban for posting too fast, using vpn,

i make a post a mod thinks I spammed they ban the whole account

I now can't even removed about a company trying to scam people

post with weird text, they ban

Just posted a question/discussion on Reddit about EV tarrifs. Was up for several hours, generated a great discussion and then it was removed by a mod. They reckoned it shouldn't be there, despite loads of super-helpful comments that were relevant to the community. The mod directed me to another sub. I posted in there and it was auto removed in minutes. Then my account was banned. Platform is fucked.

Calling out bad actors and hate is met with an instant lock and shadowban

After an ICE Agent blatantly murdered a woman in Minneapolis yesterday, a flood of vague justifications for the murder such as this post started flowing into sub

Such posts are celebrated, any dissent is locked/muted/banned

I've confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.

To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.

I've had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they're not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.

Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.

So my Reddit account got permanently banned again, I assume due to me using a VPN… Of course I can appeal but it won’t go anywhere, it is just ridiculous. They claim it is due to ban evasion but I don’t know what ban they are even talking about.

How is Reddit determining this? Simply by IP?

Got banned for saying the government manipulates people. And that democracy isn't the best because it can be led by marketing and manipulation.

It's happening! Dystopia!

Also this is a permanent ban. It just logged me out and I can't sign in.

They proved my point.

Clearly the author has NEVER been a part of any Reddit community.

Admins said it was promoting hate against a vulnerable minority. I don't care about the account, but that part made me furious. Why kowtow to russia?

I had previous temp bans for saying things like what should happen to nazis (they called it promoting violence 🙄) and other times calling out russian trolls.

That site has really gone to shit since their acquisition. They let trolls run free, and ban people for calling them out.

Reddit privacy moderators recently censored this content over a day after it was posted. IMO the reason is suspicious.

Accessible at Reddit or Reveddit

(There are no subreddit rules banning "political propaganda" or "character assassination." Nor does this comment appear to rise to either of those accusations: other non-removed comments back up the removed one.)

It's much better here! It’s nice and cozy, kinda like Reddit circa 15 years ago.

For your memes we have !memes@lemmy.world and if you're a programmer of some kinds we got !programmer_humor@programming.dev to scratch that itch, if you like sciency posts mander.xyz has some excellent communities (communities=subreddits) like !science@mander.xyz, !biology@mander.xyzand !astronomy@mander.xyz and for a meme science combo there's always the fantastic !science_memes@mander.xyz

You can also drop a shit(post) off at !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world or hang out at !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone (though you do have to post before you leave that one!)

If you want to explore the world of PC Gaming on Linux check !linux_gaming@lemmy.world or for more general Linux !linux@programming.dev and we even have a Linux meme comm at !linuxmemes@lemmy.world (we like Linux around here lmao)

For news !world@lemmy.world is excellent and for US focused news !news@lemmy.world and !usa@midwest.social

Want to ensure your privacy in this crazy world? Checkout !privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

And of course, the best for last, the best comm on the Lemmy-verse, !bikinibottomtwitter@lemmy.world !!! Just make sure to buy a krabby patty!

We’re not without our cons though, biggest problem we have are probably the Tankies, but here they’re mostly on what's known as the Tankie Triad: lemmy.ml, lemmygrad and hexbear. For the most part, grad and hex are widely defederated from (Users and content of those instances won't be "synced" and you won't see them) and you only have to worry about .ml, but on Lemmy you can do a personal instance wide block if you’d rather just not deal with them. .ml tends to be more subtle opting for censorship of dissent before things get crazy on their threads and allowing certain propaganda to flourish (If you wish to see documentation of it, checkout !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works ) Here on Lemmy all moderator actions are public and available for viewing on what's known as the "modlog"

Obligatory, fuck Spez

I don't read r/conservative much but what I've seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it's not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

I have a 3 day ban over on Reddit for saying (n word, then homophobic f word). I wasn't implying anyone was inferior. Reddit lacks a rule expressly saying I can't use slurs in any context, although they have racism and homophobia banned. Was I being racist and homophobic just by mentioning the word?

Here is the context: I said on /r/monkeyspaw: "Granted. Your username is now "/u/nf." uncensored. In response to

"I wish I was able to change my username on reddit."

Honestly most of the people who are banned are for silly reasons. At best, they can extend it to a few months but a site wide ip ban forever? Isn't that a stretch?

I'll tell you why I got banned - I have two accounts and I got banned from one subreddit for making a meta comment. I switched to my other account and commented unknowingly that it's not allowed. My comment didn't include any abuse, being mean, bullying or harassment. Next, a satire post was made on a sub and I gave a satirical reply (again no abuse etc) and it even receive 800+ up votes but guess what? I'm banned for identity related hate? It was a temp ban and I waited for it to get over. What I didn't realize was that sub 1 banned me permanently in this duration and I happened to comment there - again a harmless comment like "xyz walked out" and lo and behold i have a permanent ban now.

I feel the mods on reddit are on a power trip and are really going to be the reason for its doom.

Reddit banned me for seemingly no reason. Twice. I'm sticking to Lemmy. I don't know how the moderators at reddit even function. The entire process is beyond shady. Not only do they not tell you why you were banned but they literally don't even tell you that you are banned. They let you just browse thinking everything is fine until you realize that every single post you make gets automatically deleted That your PFP suddenly disappears. that your achievements don't seem to work Then if you try to type in your account into a browser you're not logged in at, only then will you see that you're banned. Then if you can figure out how to get to the appeals page, which for some reason two of exists, even though they are identical, Reddit not only doesn't ever bother responding at all, but they don't even acknowledge that they received the appeal. Not even an automated message. Nothing. I don't know any other social media site that does this its just wild to me. Anyway, I'm here to rant about it because I can't rant on Reddit.🤣 hope you guys enjoyed the rant

They'll nuke you from orbit if they even get one fingerprint from a browser with a previously banned account - but if you're an LLM bot or Nazi (or both)? You're good.
