News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Honestly most of the people who are banned are for silly reasons. At best, they can extend it to a few months but a site wide ip ban forever? Isn't that a stretch?

I'll tell you why I got banned - I have two accounts and I got banned from one subreddit for making a meta comment. I switched to my other account and commented unknowingly that it's not allowed. My comment didn't include any abuse, being mean, bullying or harassment. Next, a satire post was made on a sub and I gave a satirical reply (again no abuse etc) and it even receive 800+ up votes but guess what? I'm banned for identity related hate? It was a temp ban and I waited for it to get over. What I didn't realize was that sub 1 banned me permanently in this duration and I happened to comment there - again a harmless comment like "xyz walked out" and lo and behold i have a permanent ban now.

I feel the mods on reddit are on a power trip and are really going to be the reason for its doom.

I got a site-wide permaban almost 2 years ago for a joke in r/losercity that was taken the wrong way and I got dogpiled by virtue-signalling furries. I've appealed my ban almost 10 times now and they reject it every time.

I don't get it. They could have just given me a ban from the r/losercity subreddit instead. They didn't need to ban me from the entire site. I haven't caused any problems on other subs. I had over 30,000 karma on my account and it took me years to build it all up. I got along great with people in r/vtubers and r/votv and had a lot of fun there.

It's so bizarre that one f-up gets a sudden permaban from the entire site. All I can think of is that one of the left-wingers in losercity is in with the admins and they called in a favor. It has to be a nepotism thing.

Yeah same I had 18K karma which I earned over 3 years and was banned over a misunderstanding. All my appeals have been denied. They can get fucked! And honestly yeah I won’t miss all those left wing nut jobs.

Yeah, it’s really unfortunate that all it takes is one thing that gets people like us permanently banned from Reddit

making off kilter comments on reddit for well over a decade... and i never even got a subreddit ban for them...

then around '21/'22 i started getting subreddit bans like crazy. weird. mods kept saying i was a sexist/racist trump supporter... but I am not.

then in '24 it was sitewide bans for mainsteam comments that were 'violent and racist'. one comment was about my cat killing rabbits in my local city subreddit. The second was 'racist' for saying how much I admired our asian majoy in my local city subreddit.

been on lemmy two years now. Had a great time mostly. But recently... now on lemmy every few days I get harassed by some weirdo going around on my old comments for days/weeks ago telling me how racist and sexist trump supporter i am. I assume bot/troll accounts. got a couple fo community bans too for these weirdos reporting me.

agree too that most of the harassment comes from crazy left-wing nutjobs who think nobody is left enough for them, who are 100% fascists, as long as it's left wing fascism.
