A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.

I see these characters and I immediately think of the @yiffit user lol
What's a reddit?
Oh, yea, that dumpster fire I walked away from 2 years ago. It still exists?
Sadly, yes.
Not gonna lie, I was only there to encourage people to get off Reddit.
Make sure to wash your eyes afterwards if you’re using the redesign or app.
Old reddit all the way through!
No one regrets getting banned from nazi digg.
I don't regret being banned from the fly [Reddit] licking the Nazi shit [Twitter]. But I think it's important for people advertising Lemmy there to know.
That's not a shadowban, that's a straight up suspension.
A shadowban is just when your posts and comments are filtered and hidden from others.
Yes, it is a shadowban. It fits perfectly what you said: the posts and comments are filtered and hidden from the others.
Here is another proof that this is a shadowban:
Left: the content is shown to the user when they're logged in, and they can still submit new content.
Right: the content is not shown to someone who is logged off.
On the other hand, a typical suspension leaves the content visible for everyone else, it tells the user "you've been permanently suspended from Reddit [insert gaslighting message]", and the user cannot submit new content.
Note that a shadowban is considerably worse than a suspension. Not that I care, though - I'm sharing this here because it is relevant for people trying to convince others to migrate to the Fediverse.
Oh that's weird. I just got straight-up banned the other day for saying something bad about Nazis 😂
I straight up got my account of 2 years deleted for advertising Lemmy lol, nothing of value was lost that day
RIP ;_;7
They're really trying to repeat the fate of Digg, aren't they? People would advertise the shit out of Reddit in Digg, to encourage users to move. Well - perhaps we should test if history does repeat itself.
Fuck Reddit, they banned me because I reported discrimination and it was easier to get rid of the whiner than do their jobs.
Now I can't talk nerdshit about The Sims anymore
Get the sims community started on Lemmy. Try to convince some people to join
Gwanda blitz!
did they say you reported too much? on several accs, i had either a temp ban from that sub, or instant lecture from a mod, saying "you cant report this person, just because you dont like his comment" i was thinking then, what is a reportable offense, like its spamming/botting, isnt that reportable, like do you want me to engage and argue, which makes its worst?. my most recent one which got me the recent ban was "you can report this much in this sub, and we think you are "brigading" so we are temporarily banning you sitewide, which triggered the sites AI bot to ban multiple accounts sitewide without giving a reason. how can you say you are fighting botting/spamming from countries like RU when your MODS, and admins are banning the reporter. turns out your site needs the RU bots, simply because they make close to half of comments and engagement in certain communities.
Perhaps using this picture instead of writing the link in plain text will help prevent the Reddit bots from detecting that one is recommending Lemmy there:
if that's the captcha to get in... i'm out.
Oh, no, I should have explained! That's something to help post the link hopefully without the Reddit bots detecting it. I've edited the post.
I moderate r/spezholedesign and have set up AutoModerator to promote Lemmy on all posts. I have made a post directly linking to lemmy.world and nothing has happened. I've never gotten shadowbanned or suspended
I have no idea why I was shadowbanned and you weren't, then. Perhaps account age and/or karma had a role? (My account was five days old, and barely any karma.)
That's probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don't ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.
You can't save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I'd be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit's mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.
We need to figure out a way to recruit with to out outright posting it there.
Text as pictures, word-of-mouth, bugging people in Youtube referring to Reddit to use Lemmy instead, coded languages...
I'd imagine in that particular case it felt like spam. If someone came through here and was named Nick_From_Nike and only posted in threads related to Nike and only positively about Nike, I feel like many would quirk a brow.
Are we seeing shadowbans with established accounts that don't have lemmy in their username? Considering r/redditalternatives is still going strong, seems unlikely.
Got shadow banned years ago for sharing the link to the εxodus privacy analysis of the Reddit app. There is a reason why they keep trying to pressure their users to use their app. It's farming their personal data.
That's interesting. I haven't been banned for mentioning r/RedditAlternatives yet. I'm honestly shocked that sub still exists.
Good, I was getting fed up with being told over there that Canadians are useless and can't make a difference... this just tells me they're worried because we ARE making a difference🍁
Woah...Reddit is anti-Canada? Honestly Reddit has always given me bad vibes, and from the sounds of things it's just getting worse...
Where Is the shadow part of the ban?
left side: logged in. exists.
right side: private window, not logged in. does not exist.
It's just like adarza said.
Left: logged in. My own activity is shown.
Center: logged out, old reddit. It claims that the user doesn't exist.
Right: logged out, new reddit. It claims that the user was suspended.
Reddit is a horrible place
