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.

MODERATORS
 

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.

Why do you keep saying this without quoting what you posted?

Repeat what you said if it’s so normal

Ok.

Figured others had experienced the same thing and wanted to chip in their experiences or, if they cared enough, could test it out on their own.

Either way, the comment was auto-deleted by Reddit so I'm just paraphrasing anyway.

I stated that everyone should exercise their 2A right and arm themselves. And if they are already experienced with firearms they should help others who are interested arm themselves and help them train. I also pointed out that, in this political climate, if they want to chat with friends/family about purchasing firearms, they may want to use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app.

That's it. That was the content of my comment. None of that is questionable. None of that breaks Reddit site wide rules. None of it is a call to violence. And, not that it matters on a privately owned platform, but all of that is supported by our Constitution.

Also, why did you say

Why do you keep saying this

This is the first post I've ever made about this. I've never even made a comment on Lemmy about this.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Quote it. What did the comment say?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Dude.

You're a moderator.

Learn how to read.

When Reddit bans you for a comment they DELETE THE COMMENT.

I've already, in multiple responses to others on this post, tried to detail what was in the comment as closely as I could.

You sound like you want me to verbatim recreate a comment I posted that was deleted when you probably are well aware that Reddit deletes the comment.

Is this a mod power trip?

Screen grabbed.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

If it were a mod power trip, your post or comment would be deleted lol

“As closely as I could” yet you seem unable to restate the content any better than “I supported the second amendment”.

If the pro-2A comments are automatically deleted, why are there subreddits full of them?

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

“As closely as I could” yet you seem unable to restate the content any better than “I supported the second amendment”.

Again, you prove you are a mod who doesn't read comments.

Read my comments again. I responded to TWO people with a close approximation of the contents of my comment. In one I even stated "that's actually pretty damn close".

So do your mod due diligence and expand the comments and hit CTRL+F and do a search for "that's actually pretty damn close" to view the comment where I tried to recreate the comment as closely as I could. I just didn't do it in any of my comments to you because I don't like you and I'm not repeating myself for you.

See, this is how I know in your other comment to me that you tested my theory and found it false that you didn't actually test my theory. Because you've made it clear you haven't read my other comments where I detail the contents of my Reddit comment that got me auto-banned. So there's no way you could know the key words that all have to be in the comment to receive the auto-ban.

You keep yelling the same thing over and over again even though I’ve addressed it… which is kinda funny since you’re saying I didn’t read your comments
