So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn't do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.

I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)

I got perma banned this year too and my name was Sensitive_Put_6842.

Tale as old as time

Song as old as rhyme

Fuck /u/spez

I was banned too for my opinion on abortion. I didn't insult no one and they said me I was banned for hate of speech

11y account, 108k karma. Repetitively banned by their ai moderation. The latest, like many, overturned by a human, the content restored, and it immediately received a community award. But their ban automation fanned out and banned all my accounts. Because I was banned. Which was overturned. I'm banned for being banned by an ai, despite that ai being overruled. They will not respond to my appeal.

So anyways now I'm getting oriented on lemmy and will contribute here. Reddit can suck it. Their only value was human contribution from the community and they're working hard to snuff that out.

Edit: s/reward/award

Reddit is shitting its pants and killing itself faster than the president.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

The joke of Reddit is that it's been decimating its real human userbase while it gobbles up investor cash and sells out wholesale to AI data harvesters.

For whatever reason, the folks with all the money don't seem to care that they're throwing enormous sums into a labyrinth of bot-farms. Tens of billions of dollars being pissed away on the Ur-case for Empty Internet Theory.

I still lurk on reddit but I figure with an adblocker on all I'm really doing is costing them bandwidth and lowering the revenue-per-user that they get to report to their investors. Plus r/conservative is the single best place I've found on the internet to keep track of the specific swirling toilet bowl known as right-wing 'culture'

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 8 hours ago

Reading all these banned stories makes me wish I'd gone out in a blaze of glory. Instead I just spoiled all my content and deleted my account.

[–] thespawnkiller@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Exactly what happened to me. My account had 39K karma and was 12 years old. Never even got a reason or response as to why my account was banned.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

Don't worry, they do that here too. There is a clique of people with extremely fragile egos and worldviews that will have you mass reported if you don't fall in line with their particular thought dogma.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

There he is everybody. Get him!

[–] Monte_Crisco@thelemmy.club 1 points 10 hours ago

I imagine it’s less draconian over here and easier to appeal with better chances of that appeal being reviewed by actual humans. Reddit banned me too just because I logged into one of my throwaway accounts and forgot that I was temporarily banned from one of the subreddits and mistakenly commented in there. So stupid.

[–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Reddit is insane at this point. Seems you can get banned due to a bad interpretation of posts. So someone can misunderstand your meaning and you're banned with no opportunity to even clarify. You definitely don't have to be breaking rules for a ban.

[–] Mister_Hangman@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

I got banned for, wait for it, insulting Kevin Durant.

I replied to some comment in some nba circle jerk sub which isn’t a serious sub anyways pretending I was addressing Kevin Durant and calling him effectively a whiny bitch.

Permabanned. Yup. Because it interpreted what I was saying was directed to OP but anyone with half a brain would realize it’s just bitxhing to a void.

Reddit sucks now.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago

Reddit has become absolutely garbage in that respect. You can be banned for literally anything. They don't even send you a message telling you why anymore. Appeals go into a black hole.

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

I got here because some bot posted political ragebait in r/AskReddit and I got tired of censoring myself, so I noted I was, and the Mods got butthurt about it. It was venting, more than anything, but (boom) permanent account suspension. I even deleted the posts immediately because I still hadn't reloaded the page. Hasn't seemed to matter.

Really bites too because 90% of what I was on there for was Mine/Hermitcraft content and engagement.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

I too am tired of censoring myself, boss. It's like people simply can't accept that it's ok to have a different opinion than they.

[–] jali67@lemmy.zip 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

They ban over the smallest things. I’m tired of also having to cater to the dumbest mods all the time.

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Some of them are here too. They create and mirror popular reddit subs just so that they can decide who can speak and who can't.

[–] Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

I thought so.

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 10 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

I kept advocating the guillotine for politicians who betray their people and/or rape kids. Apparently that's me being evil.

[–] TheStaffmaster@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I really do detest these corporate run sites lacking the two brain cells to get that you are allowed to kill in self defense, and discussing it is not the same as "threatening violence." Bud. Mod. DUDE. When you are fighting malignant societal cancer, there is no valid argument about "dehumanizing them," They did that to themselves when they started removing our rights to self autonomy, free movement and expression. This goes beyond "philosophical disagreements," it's an unbridgeable ideological schism at this point.

[–] tristynalxander@mander.xyz 4 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

What you mean you don't want to compromise with people who'd happily enslave you and your peers as permanent underclass? Wow, you're just unreasonable. ^/s^

[–] japemasterBrad@programming.dev 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

And you should feel bad! /s

[–] anarchy79@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

If you need the /s then your sarcasm isn't good.

[–] warmaster@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

You got screwed by a bot. Anyways, Lemmy welcome you my friend! I hope you enjoy it here!

[–] BigBoyShuanzee@aussie.zone 10 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago) (2 children)

Yep happened to me too I had a good 60k+ Karma on a 5 year old account.

Say that Nazis should be fought back against and that Child predators should be locked away for life and Reddit decided I was a dangerous individual and banned me.

[–] IAmUser1234567@lemmy.zip 4 points 19 hours ago

Hehehe, fuck them

[–] zlatko@programming.dev 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know how that works, is 60k karma good? That's post karma, not comment karma, right?

[–] BigBoyShuanzee@aussie.zone 1 points 4 hours ago

No idea, I rarely posted, I mostly commented.

[–] PissingIntoTheWind@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

Ya my old acct made a death joke about McConnell 6 years ago and was banned. Had 1 million plus subreddit I modded. And 100k in karma. Sucked. Welcome to the club.

[–] bigweeds@sh.itjust.works 1 points 14 hours ago

i kept getting banned for the DUMBEST shit. i gave up and came here too. welcome!

[–] BarnWolf@lemmy.world -1 points 11 hours ago

Welcome bud, happened to me a couple weeks ago as well. I simply sided with Ukraine over Russia. The reddit we once knew, is no more.
