News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Reddit has quietly removed nearly all avenues for users to provide direct feedback to the platform. Traditional support channels, appeals, and human contact points have been replaced with automated systems, and even r/RedditFeedback is no longer monitored by Reddit staff. This shift reflects a broader trend in large platforms moving toward automation over user communication, raising concerns about transparency, accountability, and long‑term community trust.

I sold my shares a while ago as it seemed like it was in Vibe territory. Most people seem to think it was going to be some sort of AI super trainer. I was\am a little more skeptical.

Any way after today's permaban I'm even taking it's ticket off my watch list lol

I’m honestly confused about what Reddit is doing with their AI filters now. I tried posting in r/help a while back because I needed actual help, and the post got removed instantly. The mod message said something about “AI‑generated content,” even though I wrote it myself.

So I rewrote it in my own words, shorter, more casual. Removed again.

Tried one more time. That time I got banned and muted from the subreddit. No human review, no appeal, nothing. Just “you’re banned.”

The rules didn’t say anything about AI. I wasn’t breaking any rule. I wasn’t spamming. I wasn’t being rude. I literally just wanted help. And now I’m permanently banned from the one place that’s supposed to help people.

Has anyone else had Reddit’s AI moderation just nuke everything you write, even when it’s your own words? Is this normal now?

Just curious. I think the odds have gone up quite a bit, and if that happens, we'd potentially see a glut of people. I'm sure they must be watching this.

Everytime I try to waste my time on Reddit I am quickly reminded why I don't waste my time on reddit. That is all 🫡

I made this comment:

The executions of top Republicans are a necessity: Nuremberg 2.0. Not enough Confederate officials were punished as traitors.

It was removed and I was given a warning. On a whim I decided that "the system" might actually work so I made a straightforward argument that:

Arguing for Congress to initiate an inquisition as to who has failed the country and when, with the capacity to institute the death penalty, is within legally mandated freedom of speech.

And very quickly, my comment's removal was overturned.

The federal government has been usurped by a minority of White evangelical christians around a nazi-style fascist.

Not enough confederates were put to death. We have to stop making the mistake of failing to hold these people accountable.

Trump raped children.


Frankly I wish I had saved the text I used to submit the appeal. Oh well. It's my reddit cake day and I'm still in favor of burning reddit to the ground but that doesn't mean there isn't work available there for the enterprising shitposter.

I had two Reddit accounts for 10+ years, never received a ban on either account, even a temp ban. One was only for NSFW, weed and music discussion, the other was used much more broadly.

In the last few months I got banned on my primary account 3 times, twice for 3 days and once for 7 days.

All of the comments I was banned for were 100% factual, not specifically directed at any user, short and to the point but anti-Nazi/ICE/Fascism/Trump/Pedo in their content.

Reddit claimed I incited violence and harassed individuals, ultimately claimed because I had two accounts I was participating in ban evasion.

After this happened I created another account using a different internet connection, device, email, browser type, and VPN, it was banned in <5 hours for… ban evasion!

So fuck Reddit, they are complicit in all the nonsense going on and banning people for commenting about it.

Sometimes I find old Reddit posts on search engines, and when I look at them the top commenter's account is deleted. This has happened many times, and I was curious about the general statistics of this.

I made a small analysis of Reddit.

I searched some random words with top posts: "minecraft, people, help, science, google, amazon, funny, colorful."

I didn't just choose the top one; I chose 10 old posts and summed up the total users in comments (top posts hierarchically).

data


Results;

total 1,947 users, 451 deleted, 23.1%

btw this is for users who deleted their accounts; maybe there are many more abandoned

this is just a small research I did; the real stats may be higher or lower - I don't know

So at least in my research, 23% of top commentator Reddit users chose to delete their accounts; some of them also deleted their comments, and some obfuscated their comments (to poison LLMs)

But 23% of top commentors is a really big number. These guys made Reddit the Reddit, but they chose to leave

I not only got an account banned for trivial reasons, they pre-emptively nuked every account registered with that email. Most were accounts I forgot I had to comment on video games, TV shit, etc.

The reason for my ban was actually in retrospect kind of funny and ironic.

My Otter_empire account got banned on the redscare sub for this comment

https://archive.is/piyWv

Ehh, a lot of the shift is due to libtards acting shitty tbh Something I've noticed between disagreements with libtards and wingnust is the wingnuts will just kind of disagree with your rants (ie I've made pro china, pro palestine comments with some of em) without considering you an enemy, whereas a large amount of libtards begin to actively police what you say and threaten to cut you off, not to mention hate you

So being if you want to have some wild/dissident opinions as a political hipster, it's really only more permissible in the right unfortunately

I'd say it's easier to be a pro choice right-winger, than it is to be immigration/trans skeptical left-winger

Edit: I got banned from the sub for this post apparently. Don't understand how it's particularly offensive or rule breaking, but ok

So keep in mind that was 3 or more months ago. Since that initial ban, I hadn't cared about going to the sub as I considered it already useless.

However; something that reached me in my news feed (whether reddit or X) was about a case with the "Dundee axe girl" in England being vindicated, as the folks harassing her and her sister turned out to be actual predators.

This stuck out to me because I had specifically remembered expressing doubt to some libtard while arguing over the topic.

In my mind, for whatever reason this case and it's narrative defenders reminded me of the Maxwell/Epstein types, in that predators were going for low hanging fruit (ie working class rough around the edges english girls) with a PR narrative ready to go, ready to demonize the victims, etc.

I switched accounts from Otter_empire to BoniceMarquiface because I was trying to search my own reddit comment history to find an argument chain of comments I recalled making several months ago, where I was arguing with a libtard trying to demonize the girl, while I was arguing the potential predators story made no sense to me.

Ironically I didn't need to switch accounts, I finally found the OP which was from otter_empire

There is still barely any information available and you're already jumping to a debunk conclusion based on nonsense. Since you mention how oppressed Mossad figures and traffickers feel like, I'd remind you that Epstein and Ghislane were also a couple, so maybe relax with your nonsense victimization narrative.

This young girl appeared to feel harassed, desperate, and made a threatening display while de escalating (leave me alone, moving away).

The "couple" in question otoh were making recordings of their hostile interaction with two young girls that seemed selectively edited, and even then didn't show them being harassed. So what gives?

I got in a very long winded argument at the time.

So when I came back trying to search my own comment , I got this thrown in my face

https://www.reddit.com/r/redscarepod/comments/1qxqrm0/i_grudgingly_admit_the_2nd_wave_feminists_were/

I grudgingly admit the 2nd wave feminists were right: most men would fuck a teenager if they could

That post made me annoyed. A bunch of morons doing a PR narrative spin, changing the optics to a generic "men in general" thing. It was just as absurd to me as the fact Epstein himself claimed to support "timesup". Yes when things turn into a bullshit culture war, gatekeeping narrative, rather than helping people who are powerless against victimizers in general, it's way easier to do.

In response to that post I made a snarky reply of "this sub was literally defending actual pedophiles harassing children a few months back", out of instinct (the only comment I had made since my other account was banned months back), and that is what resulted in some sort of escalation to a reddit suspension for both accounts.

I could on some level understand the "ban evasion" thing (it wasn't true, but at least made sense) if I went to the same sub within a few days of my ban, but that's not what happened.

What is amusing is I believe every single warning I've ever gotten was somehow pedophilia related. I made a comment on Jeffrey Epstein implying him dying was a good thing, and that got me a warning.

Reddit is just pissing me off more and more by the day. Every single post (at least a solid 4/5ths of them) ends up getting auto-filtered. Sick of it...
