Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.
If it’s like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂
When the account is banned is still possible to edit or delete own comments or posts?
Consider running that script that goes over each post or comment and replace it with random words, just to poison their ai training
Considering deleting my account as a statement but I’m kind of attached to the history which is why it’s kind of scary touching it at all at this point. All I’m using it for now is for a few crafting subreddits and some clothing based subreddits that don’t have equivalents on Lemmy yet. One I might be able to create myself. But we’re talking 5-10 of my most frequent hangouts. That seems like a bit much.
I had a 15 yr old account with thousands of comments. After a 3 day ban for a dumb joke about Boeing Starliner (that became partially true BTW) I deleted my top comments and closed my account. It’s better not constantly doing scrolling, but I haven’t left social media completely obviously.
That’s the reason I haven’t deleted my reddit aswell, I have some niche subreddits that mean the world to me and made me expand my hobby. I am however going to use lemmy more and who knows, reddit might become worse and we fully go to lemmy anyway!
I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you’ve never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.
for anyone that’s never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never
and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don’t like so elongated muskrats don’t get thier feewings hurt
I learned about it as the buttbuttination problem before I new it had a proper name, heh.
Ngl, that’s kinda hilarious (and sad at the same time)
Deleted my 15 yr account yesterday. Hola!
Deleted my 14 year old account on Saturday. Fuck em.
It’s actually nice to open a comments section and see the same goddamn 10 comments every time.
Nice! All of my Reddit accounts got banned this week too! Including one that hadn’t even made a post in over 6 months!
mines got banned early last month because of a suspension, 5+ accts gone.
Do not pass Go.
Do not collect $200.Nice permanent ban!
I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
I got suspended for using the word “retard” in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.
I just stick with rarted instead. It sounds funnier (at least to me) and you can literally say it whenever
LMFAO this is what happens when ai is used for moderation
Possibly, but this happened long ago enough that AI probably wasn’t a factor. Just good ole fashioned human stupidity and/or ignorance.
All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol
and they keep it vague so you never know the actual reason why its ban, they are definitely cleaning house to make it look facebook2.0, facebook now uses AI to control dead accts to engage in activities. reddit is heading this way, of course with right wing content too. its also becoming increasingl hard to make your own subreddit, or take it over. they want a small managable group where they can distribute propaganda.
I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.
Still trying appeals but not optimistic.
Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.
… Im so bitter.
Now I’m bitter for you too.
Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence… like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.
i got banned for reporting people for the same thing+ obvious misinformation that was slipping through the cracks. the Mods are part of the problem, because many of them are ok if the filters gets a random person wether the filter flags the acct as possible (ban evaders or not). Reddit additionally doesnt even give the mods why a user is getting flagged or banned, its completely arbitrary.
Yeah I mean I got permad back in the day for saying that omicron was transmitting even among vaccinated people (like 2 weeks before that was general knowledge on the news and stuff and “accepted” information) so I get that they just censor along with whatever the current government wants but damn. I’ll take political shitpost cesspit all day over everyone banned for everything censored platform
AI… And they’ll be the users too!
Now create another account and repeat the same steps until they ban your IP
You get an achievement for that? Cuz I’m eligible.
Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.
I use this it doesn’t work. In the sense that, to you your post may seem gone. But Reddit can and will restore them.
I use this exact tool when I left Reddit. They restored my posts.
I have said some wild stuff and never been permabanned. What did you post?
It was what I upvoted not what I posted.
Okay I’ll bite - who is this?
The Elon meat rider that’s trying to replace reddits user base with loyalists and bots.
Hey at least you got banned! I just keep getting network errors on mine which is clearly shadow banned since logging in on any other account on the same device does work normally.
