"If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I'm threatening violence. Lol

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.

It was a bot that automatically banned you
There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for "promoting suicide" because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because "the king is not allowed to commit suicide"
Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.
Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷
I call that the "responsibility Theater". But Software fuckups are super common and the industry (and those adjacent to it) really mastered absolving themselves of all responsibily.
It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn't work and is seemingly also run by bots.
end of the day these big tech companies need us in ways we don't need them

Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn't go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I've had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I've been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.
See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣
Clearly. :P

"CEO" and "kill" going in the same sentence is ungood.
Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.
My post got taken down for racism.
I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.
“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”
Told them to go fuck them selves.
Never got an answer.
You can tell that it's an aspen tree because of the way it is
I got a temporary ban once for racism - for a comment I made about a nonexistent race.
Your comments about "bulbheads" regarding the Xenomorph species is not appreciated.

I got a warning for saying "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye" in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.
Lmao. And they say comedy is dead.
People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.
Redditors are going to end up on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world
We're coming here, but slowly. We each have our tipping point and for many who just scroll mindlessly it's not any worse than insta/tiktok/Facebook. The commenter crowd has largely moved over.
That's a good point different people use it in different ways.

These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.

It's because they've given an LLM the ability to ban for "promoting or threatning violence", and it's terrible. It basically sees two "bad" words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like "unalive" and things like that.
Interestingly it doesn't work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don't get banned after quoting comments that get banned).

I can't be the only one thinking of a lot of Reddit's mods as Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill, can I?
I would bet $10,000 that you get a notification saying "we've reviewed your appeal and decided the ban will stay in place"
Unapologetic enshittification is how the second quarter of this century will begrudgingly be remembered.
Won't somebody please think of the advertisers??
I just got permanently banned from Reddit at the end of a 2 day ban. I haven't even posted or commented anything yet. Reddit is dead.

There are those who chose to control by "interpreting" the rules as needed. These people will use a different interpretation as needed to exert any control they can.
They're being right is less important than YOU'RE being wrong
Now try this: mass edit all of your comments to be that post and watch how quickly you get banned from every subreddit, no appeal.
