I still haven’t been told I’ve been officially banned, they just give me server errors all the time (only on my main account, not when going on any other account/incogni)
Maybe you got shadowbanned?
Apparently

You can check if your shadow banned by looking at your profile while not logged in. If it says suspended or can’t find your profile, you were banned
Damn, reddit do be shadow banning
yea, if your on a pc it will say “profile not found”

Maybe they managed to corrupt your data.
“Whoops! We accidently corrupted your data and didn’t have any alerts setup for when this happens hihi”
I wouldn’t be surprised tbh
I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right “flair” or some other stupid shit.
Posting in r/showerthoughts was impossible.
Questions about dark matter removed from r/space
Lots more like that.
Showerthoughts was one I tried. I don’t remember specifics but I tried a couple times to post actual thoughts I had in the shower and they got insta-banned by a bot so I just gave up.
Showerthoughts is a large sub so it’s regulated.
Because you didn’t read and respect the rules
Oh I did and even contacted moderators a few times to try to have posts reinstated after they were insta-banned by a bot. I just got tired of fighting with it every time I wanted to participate.
Oh yea that happens
original or thoughtful
That’s the problem, the powers that b have deemed it necessary that we only have 1 of 2 ideas.
Either you’re loyal to conservatives, or loyal to neo-liberals. Anything else is cause for a ban, and there will be no cavalry to defend you since you’re not loyal to either side.
I came from TikTok to Reddit about 2 years ago and after some initial adjustments I found the experience quite liberating in comparison. But yeah there are a lot of rules that you only find out about by getting deleted or downvoted. Lemmy is quite literally the essence of what makes Reddit interesting without the weird bs so this is an overdue transition anyway (although I miss optional user flairs ngl).
Lemmy is just small enough at this point where mods don’t have to rely on automated tools and things like required flairs to effectively manage their community. As it develops, things like required flairs, verified submissions, etc will become more normal.
For example, I’m watching Wheel of Time, and /r/WoT requires you to flair every submission with a spoiler level (books only, show and book, show only, etc). Lemmy can’t really sustain good discussion on that yet, but when it does mods will need to start aggressively removing submissions if they’re not properly categorized.
And nothing of value was lost
Just got 7 day ban for wishing that Elon musk poof out of existance. Fuck Reddit, and fuck the tyrannical Reddit admins.
The censorship on reddit is insane, I can’t even post this picture there !
I hope I’m not the only one in here who nuked my Reddit account voluntarily after they started ramping up censorship.
Basically, I saw what was coming and bailed off that site while I was still ahead.
Welcome, don’t step in the Tankies on your way in.
Actually, please do step on them, they might finally wanna leave
They might like it
Historically they love it when people get run over, especially by tanks.
Yeah they just don’t like it if it’s them being the runner over, it’s a fairly common opinion
Why do we keep those near the front door, anyway?
we keep moving them but when their toilets clog and overflow building mgmt moves them back.
They offered to build the front door for free and now that it’s done it’s difficult to convince people to come in through a different door.
Reddit’s AI report processing is terrible. I got permed for advocating violence, discussing a completely hypothetical self-defense situation in the passive voice. Literally anyone with a brain cell would have understood it was not advocating violence.
got permed for suggesting that the time to protest is now, before protesting becomes illegal and prosucetable und law lol
Reddit censorship is out of control. I got a warning about ‘violence’ today. My crime? I reported that the guy who is currently spamming every Australian mobile phone with messages about out the ridiculous Trumpet of patriots party is getting spammed back. I said “couldn’t happen to a nicer fascist”. Ffs.
Yeah, can’t just hang out over there being a decent human being, they want to the the new compliment to X
I just got banned myself for calling a moderator woke. F reddit
that Reddit mod
You sound like a conservative that doesn’t know what your talking about, if it’s based on sarcasm, but if it’s based on bigotry, you had no place in reddit as surely in other forums. Nobody likes a obnoxious loudmouth
Agreed. It was mostly based on frustration on how the littlest comment now on Reddit gets you banned. My mistake for getting hot headed and calling him a name.
Dang, I called one an autistic dork and only got 3 days. Nothing against autistic people. I’m something of an autistic myself. I just knew it would trigger him. Then I mocked him in the unban request too for being a “thin-skinned bitch.”
I’ve also said “I fully endorse Luigi and his slaughter of CEOs.”
Why is it so hard for me to get my permaban?
Hahahhahahah
You have to be nice to someone they don’t like.
Doesn’t sound great for you…
Was that ironic usage of the word or did you just out yourself on your first day?
Needs more context. Calling someone woke because you know it will piss them off I think is fair usage.
Anyone who gets that upset about being called woke probably isn’t that great either.
I for one refuse to entertain “wokeness” as it is grammatically incoherent.
I may have
Woke is a compliment, though
I got banned for saying people should engage in mass protest against the arrest of judges and prevent anyone from entering and leaving the building in which they are held until they are released.
I’ll create a new Reddit account when I can be bothered to create a new email address.
What were you banned for?
That wont help, neither will a vpn or using a different device lol, I tried them all, think it has to be a different device youve never logged on before on a different network, i lost interest and just use lemmy now, reddit lowkey made me do stuff less, like id read more about my hobbies rather than doing them, like watching ppl game instead of gaming, but for any hobby
I use iOS and that didnt stop me from making another account after I got banned. I have four burner accounts.
I have ios and each account on the browser with vpn and app got deleted? When I was banned I had 4 alts that all got banned instantly, all different emails and devices too
Tried all the browsers app never worked, browsers gave me 5 minutes before ban sometimes lmao
I have iCloud premium, using safari and burner mails I can make however many accounts I like!
I’m still on Reddit due to my RC hobby. The community here is too small
I have the same setup and they caught me within 24 hours. fuck em.
Nah thank you. Don’t wanna catch those nasty STDs.
You sure your ban is even active still?
I‘ve never been banned tbh. I keep my two remaining accounts for hobby and porn free of all things politics.
Thank you for informing me. I’ll take a look in ten years if they are still around.
In any case, I knew I would be banned eventually regardless so I just did as much agitating as possible until that point came.
I suggested someone add an icon of torches and pitchforks to an email they were sending to company to complain.
Banned for inciting violence.
It’s nuts, but once I learned that it was just an LLM doing content moderation (and probably the appeals, too), things made a lot more sense.
Spez is the exact kind of guy who would believe that community moderation is an “unsolved problem” and not, y’know, perfectly solvable by the same ol’: ya hire people to do it.
Wait, but the ban message says that a bot flags it and a person reviews it
I got banned after 15 years for asking why we can’t organize to cyberbully Trump’s current head of social media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_(political_advisor)?wprov=sfla1
This was in response to the White House calling Garcia a terrorist on their Twitter account.
Big Cheungus
I was ahead of the curve, and got banned in October 2024 for Promoting violence when I said “If a president decided to betray America’s allies, and start directley helping Russia in its wars of conquest, America would probably end up with a dead president”
They basically told me to fuck off on my appeal, I had told them A) I wasnt threatening anything, and B) moderation is getting politically triggered and biased. and they permabanned me.
and I have since been Hardware banned from my main PC and my work PC, I still want to go back for some of the niche communities that havent emigrated over here yet, but I really cant be bothered to go and fire up a 8 year old laptop or something just for fucking reddit. its a cesspit and getting banned is largely a blessing in disguise.
Since when does reddit take a hash of your hardware?
that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they’re doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,
I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id’d for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever
They absolutely get your IP and probably some cookie data saved on your computer. Not sure about phones, those are privacy nightmares. I got tagged for trying to get around an IP ban on a sub, so they absolutely track that. Cleared all cookies and trackers, unplugged my modem for a few hours so my ISP would issue a new IP, and once I verified that I had a new IP I was able to use the sub under a different account.
I tried something similar and even waited not hours but months before I even attempted to log in. My account would be fine but the moment I post I get shadowbanned.
Same account? Sure. New account? I’m surprised.
There’s a reason why most of the people still there and ostensibly on the left are doomers. Reddit won’t tolerate anyone else. This also has the effect of encouraging more people to become doomers and not take any action.
I just came back from a 3 day ban. I was warned before. In the 10+ years I’ve been on reddit this has never happened to me. But whatever. Lemmy is a great alternative.
They kept sending me emails with cutesie aliens in them after they shadowbanned me. Very weird company
I’m permabanned and they’re still sending me stuff. Read the room Reddit, you ended things not me.
