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
 

My account has been banned by reddit for a most absurd reason.

First, I recieved warnings text of which said they were auto generated. Since auto generated content is least reliable, I ignored them.

Second, the warnings were themself irrational. Social media always has a share button. If a post is supposed to remain private, either it should be mentioned on top of it or shall be posted in a private community. Posts I shared were on public pages and I did not claim copy right. In fact, details of model and photo studio were explicitly visible.

Now I'm very very disappointed by Reddit. What sort of naive policy is it. I had an account with 10K karma. Had made some original posts with 100s if likes n shares. I want my reddit account back. I don't want to make a new one. I want my original account un-banned. Kindly guide me how may I proceed??

Dude, lifes too short, just use Lemmy and move on.

Just use Lemmy.

Karma is absolutely worthless. So are up-votes.

You’re allowed to say “fuck” here, btw

[–] Sid400@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, thats after Osho. Fuck is a very broad word.

You say something is irrational but you don’t really explain it.

What were you posting?

[–] Sid400@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was sharing by pressing the share button the photographs on subreddits that were posting photos of models.

If they were supposed to keep those photos private, a secret or hidden community should have been forned.

If they felt like copyright is violated merely by sharing some post, when the model name and studio name were visible, they were wrong.

Anything shared publicly will be reshared by the public.

That's not how the rules work on Reddit and not really anywhere else either. For example, if you reposted in the context of exposing or harassing then they would see that as brigading. As with free speech, you're not free to do anything you like because you think it is justified.

What you're doing is also an easy easy for bots to gain karma so the accounts can be sold to scammers so they may have thought you were a bot.

[–] Sid400@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bot?? Oh, the long, Orgional Posts and discussions I had??

By the way, the warning I received had it explicitly mentioned that it was auto generated. It seems like Reddit itself was using bots. Not me.

[–] Unquote0270@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Of course Reddit is using bots. Every subreddit has an automod which can send replies or messages, and a subreddit level ban message comes through as an automated message. That doesn't negate the fact that they may have thought you were a bot. This isn't some fairness democracy, it is their site and they can run bots and AI, and disallow users from being bots, if they want. That is not an uncommon scenario.

As for your long and original posts, have you never asked chatgpt to compose something? It can be very lengthy and appear original.

Karma farming (which is what you were doing) is strongly disliked at subreddit moderator level and seen as suspicious behaviour at admin level. Both regard it as spam.
