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.
Lol nothing says we are afraid of the working class like banning subreddits on suppressed news they don’t want us to see. I came here bc I got a warning on my account for liking a comment that said “Luigi”. My alt account got banned for sharing the DOGE email list that is public info. Fuck Reddit. I’m done.
I've stopped fighting for my shadow-banned account on Reddit. It's a month old now, they've been ignoring it. And for weeks I've only checked reddit but never bothered logging in and never bother trying to fight anymore. I've been on Reddit as far back as, I want to say, 2012? And I've been banned over 30+ times under many alts, getting into fights with some of the dumbest fuckers on Reddit possible. But there also were times where I had tried partaking in positive manners, but the Reddit ecosystem just wasn't having it with people like that.
I've been seeing so many honest people make innocent posts and just getting fucked with. And those people are finding themselves banned as well, not just me. So it's just simply not worth it anymore trying with a system like that, that's been building itself into it's own authoritarian atmosphere.
I got a 3 day ban for harassment, which the only thing I can think was worth banning was I said “Lindsay Graham should go suck a dick in a closet, the pathetic sack of scum” and my comment got removed for excess profanity so I commented a reply to someone who used profanity and said “oh careful, this sub doesn’t like profanity, weak sub” and then got banned for harass under 1 comment that was just a vent of frustration and not at all harassment.
Same, but at least you can have an account? I got the perma for the stupidest reason possible and I can't use the site. Somehow the system always figures out it's me. I would probably have to get a new computer IP and phone.
For context I have (had) an alt account that was banned from r/news years ago. I read the frontpage exclusively. r/news shows up there a lot. I forgot about this alt account and commented there. Then a few months after that ban I did the same thing.
I am clearly a despicable human being and shouldn't be allowed to use the only universal forum humans currently have.
VPN. Or just use Lemmy.
I got a new phone and those bastarfds still find me out.
I like interactivity and I like having to talk around in some of the communities there. I get impulses to say something on some posts and while I can, I know it won't ever be seen and won't have that engagement. To me, it's like what's the point? I should actually now go and delete the account.
Yeah if you're finding yourself instantly banned on sight, it's an IP thing. Admins would see that. They won't prevent you from registering although if that was possible, they would totally have done that many times over by now.
I've only managed to ban evade because I've had my IP changed a few times due to moving IRL, I've had to get creative with usernames so they don't piece two and two together and I've had to use e-mails that I thought wouldn't trip on their radar like using ProtonMail. By this point after so many chances, it is totally an IP thing. VPN is an option but I'm too lazy for that.
It's an automated system, I doubt anyone actually cares like that.
Which is part of the problem.
