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.

I was on Reddit for 10 years, and I have absolutely no clue why I was banned. I just moved, so maybe it was because my new ISP dealt me a bad IP?

Anyway, Reddit:

  1. Has no email, and doesn't respond to e-mails.
  2. Doesn't respond to mod mail, doesn't tell you why you were banned.
  3. Doesn't respond to appeal.
  4. Autobans any user I create.
  5. Seemingly doesn't give a shit about it's long-term users.

I guess from here on out I'm a... Lemming? Lemmyzen? Lemmy user?

Anyway thanks for having me! Reddit was shit anyway. I've been without it for a week now, and my life has definitely improved lol

I've been permabanned on several occasions and just mess with my vpn with a new account and boom everything is fine.

Power tripping mods will just permaban willy nilly so I will reciprocate by fucking with them and teasing them about how I've been banned before and how they are absolutely powerless in the grand scale of things.

What do you mean by mess with your VPN?

probably changing the ip locaiton, reddit will shadowban if you use VPN, or if your IP address changes quickly to somewhere far away in a short amount of time.

ive heard in another forum that people using paid proxies, had this problem, thier proxies changed ip address suddenly, or for example from somewhere like the usa, to europe, or across the country will trigger reddit filters.

They Shadow ban people using VPN? I've seen vpns advertised on Reddit. How Bizarre.

yea, they made it a big deal early last year. on another forum, most people moved on to mobile proxies, which are harder to detect, but more expensive to use.
