Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it’s the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.

      I once posted a theory that Deckard HAD to be a replicant because of the way genetics actually works (him having a child in 2049 proves it, I mean).

      A mod called my comment a “Luke warm take for piss brains” and removed it, so I told him to go fuck himself. Banned, not just from the sub, but from all of reddit.

        Same, but it was a kys to some guy I had a beef for some time, I really wonder what a reddit admin was doing looking at a NSFW AI subreddit because that ban was way too fast and no one claimed the deed in the comments even the guy who I was discussing with lol

        And this place isn’t? I was banned for the following comment the other day:

        Can’t find a single link to methodology or what the population was. Unless my Google is horrific I would take this with a grain of salt. Men are definitely overrepresented. However in my 15 years of experience working in the field I’ve seen maybe one overt case of sexism. I can count on one hand times where I’ve heard a “under the radar” type problematic statement that I’ve needed to address. I do not believe this data is representative of anything in the US or EU from my personal experiences.

        And

        Good. This is a simple fucking trademark case and the union is going to lose hard. A first year JV could win this.

        I even got one calling me genocidal but can’t see it. I would love to see what I said that was genocidal lol.

        Modlog is a disaster with tons of " I don’t agree with you so I’m going to call you a troll and remove your comment". Go look for yourself.

          They started banning much more freely shortly before the whole 3P API fuckery - surely as another part of the IPO prep. I was getting banned for relatively innocuous comments, and would always get my account reactivated a week after appealing. My last appeal was accepted during the blackout, but I just never bothered to log back on …

            And the thing is Reddit doesn’t go straight for the perma. A user generally has to have a history of warnings and smaller bans first.

            I know this doesn’t apply to all but it applies to many: I used to mod a sub that I made like 15 years ago and I have seen the worst behavior from people over the years - deranged people who feel they are the center of the world and behave in insane ways - they disappear after a small admin ban and when it’s over, they’ll come back even stupider and angrier. And the best, the best, the best and most predictable part is when they portray it as being banned over one thing. No, it was a banning for a pattern of being a heinous cretin.

            From what we see in this very post and comments, it fits the archetype.

          This just shows that you don’t know about or understand the genesis of lemmy itself.

          The primary contributors/developers are tankies. I strongly disagree with their views, but I like the software, because it’s FOSS, and it actually does something pretty cool.

    I finally overwrote all my comments and deleted my account. 16 years there, but as soon as I checked the front page this week before deleting, every comment and post was the same old “this” and “take my upvote” and vitriolic hate toward different or uncommon opinions, zero dialogue, such a mess

        I know that they were restoring deleted accounts, but I don’t think there’s any way for them to restore over written comments to previous versions, so overwritten comments are probably more important than actually deleting the account, although you can delete it after you overwrite everything.

          Nothing is ever deleted from Reddit and edits are stored. Deleting it doesn’t actually delete it, it just marks it as deleted.

          This is information coming directly from Reddit devs/admins over the years.

            Can you link to evidence of comments being timestamped, restored or archived by reddit? I’ve read about both deletes being reversible and edits being stored, but I found no incontrovertible evidence for comment iterations being stored or recovered, although there seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence for deleted accounts being easily restored by admins, which would make sense.

                I’ve heard that repeated, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it with regards to overwritten comments. Deletions, yes, but so far there doesn’t seem to be any cause for concern for restoring overwritten comments.

          Y’indeed I love seeing notifications here and reload every few minutes to see if someone replied to me (not now obviously because I’m high and forgot to reply to you earlier and it’s also taking me a good few minutes to type up this reply).

          On Reddit I usually hoped that everyone upvoted, of course, and that none of them reply. Especially when I argumented with someone, because I’m actually really bad at argumenting about things I perceive as negative. […]

          The rest is just a stoned tirade (I didn’t want to delete it because I find it amusing), there’s no Tl;Dr to be made, just don’t read it unless you choose to make me a god and want to use the genoxidedev1 lore to practice that new religion. Anyways:

          […] I’m also bad at argumenting about things I’m good at, which only leaves me being good at argumenting about things I’m bad at, but I’f im good at argumenting about things I’m bad at it would mean that I’m good at argumenting about me argumenting about things I’m good at, so, if we use that logic for all the other things I could be doing I’m actually the best at everything. Wow. I just lost an argument against myself, cool or something.

    I still have a bunch of accounts but it’s actually not a friendly site to use. I remember telling friends about it back in the day and they’d try and use the site, then they’d come back and be like “everyone on that site is an asshole.” I’d explain it in some dumb way but it’s basically true in essence. I even modded some default subs like 10 years ago and it was the first time I started hating the site.

    Even hobby subs had these issues. Like the top post in r/synthesizers would be about some youtube personality and people debating about drama. People who post actual music and productive things don’t get upvoted. Saying you liked the “wrong” people got you made fun of. Super trend/hype based as well. I posted asking for advice for a product to buy once, and was heavily discouraged from getting what I thought was the right thing, I got it anyway, and now it’s basically a meme as the top recommended product for that purpose on that sub.

    Basically moved to forums and discord servers for a lot of interests and it’s so much better than reddit. Early 2010s was the golden age for the site back when there’d be those reddit meetups and stuff.

        It’s also so fake, people performing the idea they’re successful at the hobby as a sort of feedback loop of validation. Posts about buying a thing or showing their stuff always gets more interest than someone engaging in the hobby, with the exception of influencer types or the upper echelon of aspiration.

        Joining other communities… music and car related to be specific, I post a work in progress and get instant feedback and messages from people in the relevant scene to share their process etc. The influencers are in the mix with everyone else and are contributing things everyone can use.

              You should try it, it has zombies, aliens, magic, bionics and mutations! Also, tip: “If you try to leave a location, try be as stealth as possible, because monsters have unlimited stamina, if they see you, unless you have a way to reliably kill them (small weapons are a no-no and I never found a gun), they gonna kill you even if they are a single one, cuz you won’t be able to outrun them after your stamina ends, and an average zombie will take 80% of your life if you are bare fisted or with a small weapon, your only hope in this case is find the localization you are going for (be it a city or smth), and hide somewhere.”

        They use browser fingerprinting. Not only do you need a new IP address, but you need to make your browser characteristics look sufficiently different from anything you’ve used before (including all metadata that your browser sends to Reddit.com like OS, time zone, CPU, GPU, etc). Otherwise they will re-associate you and ban your new account. It’s annoying as fuck.

        I still have no idea what they banned me for. Spez is on record saying it’s fine to create a new account as long as you don’t repeat the behavior that got you banned, but their actions say no, you’re banned for life and there’s nothing you can do.

        The effort required to get back on Reddit is just way to high for day to day usage, so I just stay on here mostly. I still read Reddit for niche stuff from time to time, but yeah it does suck to just read and never be allowed to comment.
