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.
I have said some wild stuff and never been permabanned. What did you post?
It was what I upvoted not what I posted.
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!
Like how twitter and YouTube comments are just bots talking to bots?
Yeah. …I could see it going that way.
Turns out, good actions have consequences too.
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.
F in chat for all the “k***hts” of the world.
Ok, I’m having a brain fart here, but I can’t imagine anything but ‘knights’ for ‘k***hts’. :P
Knights is right, the point is what was excluded
Oh. Right. Heh.
I can see why these people change the name or their village: https://www.dw.com/en/austrian-village-of-fucking-decides-to-change-its-name/a-55740967
Ngl, that’s kinda hilarious (and sad at the same time)
this is so reminiscent if the digg Exodus around the aacs key. bans pushed us to reddit, and at a higher rate than those being banned. Lemmy mau is up over 10%. idk if the bleeding can be stopped.
uninvolved users will stay with it. digg had 2 or 3 major redesigns before I stopped hearing about it completely. it became little more than yahoo! news.
I’m sure that is the fate of reddit now.
I left Digg during that exodus and went to Reddit, and now here I am. Enshittification happens everywhere that capitalism finds an opportunity to put its dick in someone’s ass, it’ll probably happen here too if it gets popular.
Now create another account and repeat the same steps until they ban your IP
You get an achievement for that? Cuz I’m eligible.
If it’s like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂
then they reban people after thier increased number show healthy activity to thier investors, i just delete my accounts if they recieved to many sub bans, or a sitewide ban.
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 had to delete them in batchs use an old extension, until nothing is left. it did take a while though.
It’s not just that. The comment history doesn’t go back further than 1000 posts. They are still there when you find an old or saved thread somehow. But the power delete suite uses the comment history and will miss a lot of older comments from a simpler time.
Once you’re banned, do your previous posts and comments get deleted? Or do you just lose access to them?
You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I’ll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can’t respond
Don’t be distressed about it, dad. You’re here now. You’re safe.
Thanks for clarifying!
You just lose access
I wonder what would happen if we all took to their other socials to speak our minds. If we flooded their posts and app reviews with negative feedback, maybe something would be done about it.
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.
deleted by creator
Man… I wen’t through so many permas on reddit. I am so happy that the alternative is forming
as did i, first it was politics, then news and aww, and my later accts caught those and more. simply for misconstured statements. and then reddit look back at your “deleted accts which had sub bans” and retroactively banned all your active accounts.
We’ve been here for a few years, but we’re grateful to have new people!
It was either you or Tildes.
I went with Tildes originally, but their admirable effort to only encourage long-form discussion works against growing a user base to be anything more than a Petri dish; people need those fast dopamine hits!
…that and they’re invite only.
They also appear to be developing a bit of a cult around the owner of Tildes which can feel a but offputting.
When I was there they were actually telling each other to govern their speech based on what they thought the creator (of Tildes) intended by various rules. He arbitrarily removes entire threads he doesn’t like so they are incentivised to care a lot about that.
Ready for the explosion of users! I hope Lemmy is ready as well.
Honestly, I shouldn’t still be pissed about my ban but I can’t help it.
I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points
Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason
It’s been a couple of months and they still haven’t even bothered to respond to my appeal
Now that I see how reddit’s going down the tube, I don’t even care if they respond at this point
I’m done with it
Same here. No reason. No response. Fuck those guys. And fuck Spez.
Yup, they banned me for 7 days because saying Luigi didn’t deserve to go to jail for what he did is apparently ‘encouraging violence’. I appealed and it was lifted, but not before I got another message identical to yours. In my 14 years of reddit I have never had more than a single account, so I appealed that too. I’m not banned anymore but I got a message saying the second appeal was denied and the ban would stay in place. I think reddit is just falling over itself in its eagerness to frog-march to
Der Fuhrerspez’s new fashy bullshit.Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it’s surreal.
It’s always been like that. They’re parasite - they ruin the thing they latch on to, then they jump ship with fat stacks of cash and move on to the next product to kill.
except that not all parasites harm their host. in nature, “parasites” range from a mutually beneficial relationship to the destruction of their host.
these are the bad type of parasites, also called diseases
ever since huffman publicly endorsed elon/trump, it was only a matter of time.
It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.
Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.
Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.
I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.
Soon we will see it happen to Discord. It will be pretty awful.
Man I’ve supported discord for years too. Fucking sucks. It makes me upset to think about.
Well at least IRC with come back with good searching… Unless Google fucks that up somehow. The internet is dead or dying.
Yeah even google search is broken thanks to AI, never thought it would happen but here we are.
It’s very inconvenient.
I have a project right now that needs a good unique title, and since Google is now flying blind through a soup of AI gibberish I have no way of telling whether the titles I think up are unique.
Last time I went through this process it was so easy.
Where are we moving to instead of Discord?
matrix or mumble or xmpp
My vote is Matrix!
I prefer xmpp but I know the matrix onboarding is easiest by far
Because they don’t care about the long term health of the company. They just need the next quarter to be profitable, and then they can move on.
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.
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 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.
