Based!
I edited all my comments to Fuck u/spez and deleted them and then deleted my account. They ruined a decent thing.
Same, then they perma-IP banned all of my accounts, lmao.
That’s what happens when the CEO starts taking advice from Elon Musk on how to run a social media company.
FYI, they go beyond IP and use browser fingerprinting to ban all your accounts.
There’s also a hilarious bug in reddit logic that can let you ban innocent users this way :3
I hope you did all this behind a good ad blocker/DNS filter or else you just increased engagement with the site and potentially their ad delivery network. They also collect the analytics, think advertisers won’t pay for metadata related to a cohort of users mass exodusing? I love the decentralized setup here, this is really cool. Let’s get more time and engagement here instead and stop providing our data to Predditers.
The only time I don’t use an adblocker is on my work computer because they are so locked down. If I have to go there again I’ll use a VPN just to fuck with their engagement.
It’s part of the migration plan to help users move away from the platform.
The whole ban invasion rule never made much sense to me. It’s completely unenforceable, there’s absolutely no way with their platform for them to tell if a user is using a new account to evade a pre-existing ban, so why the hell are they going on about it?
If you’re going through many extra steps to change your online fingerprint, then you’re correct. But there are things they can use to match accounts together. Even a simple IP address combined with behavior from that address can be effective.
In my limited experience with ban evaders while modding on reddit (on a ~100k subscribers size sub), reddit’s automatic systems do catch some ban evaders. We would sometimes ban a really angry person and later find multiple comments from different accounts in the filtered queue trying to continue their bickering.
I’m not sure if you use the app if they can tell it’s from same app installation.
It’s enforced, believe me. Even with a VPN. I think they must use browser and app fingerprint, it isn’t just IP.
In the end it really seemed like I had been flagged as an undesirable. I’d have what I thought were pretty reasonable discussions at night, and then wake up to another account permabanned. The last couple I didn’t even get a link to the offending content, just a message about being in breach of their content policy in some undefined way.
I fucking hated that site anyway.
please tell me you did this AFTER systematically devaluing your years of submitted content?
Yep. 👍🏻
Lol fuck I love Lemmy 💕
Totally worth it!

I tagged him in messages for a few days calling him a cunt but never got banned. I guess DM was the thing to make it be effective?
Admins, or at least him, don’t get notified when you tag them
Good. Fuck u/spez — that little cunt
Claim you’re Australian, and live in NSW.
Show that it is your constitutional right to call any leader a cunt

I’m pretty sure he was a laughing stock across the world when he was in.
Then US one upped us.
To be fair, Tony Abbott is actually a total cunt, so the case result was always going to be.

These are to be used contextually obviously.
Must be a fun place to work 🙄
Sucks because it used to be an awesome job I bet
No, they talked about it, it was brutal, they were overworked for a good while, then when the money came in they went dumb corporate.
There was a while where they said the stress felt like it was worth it then everything fell apart, this was around when pao was in charge and the ama lady got fired.
That sounds about right, it’s been coasting on the momentum from past glories since then, and we were protected from the worst of it by third party apps and good mods and communities in smaller subreddits. Both things they’re now ripping apart. Curious to check Reddit again in a couple years and witness just how bad it got.
Surprises me that you get banned for it but whenever someone else call another person that - they get away with either a warning or nothing happens. Lol.
Chad move tbh
lmaoooooooooo worth every penny 🤣 🤣 🤣
deleted by creator
I don’t think this is actually deleted
