Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time.

For a second, I thought OP got banned from Duolingo.
I mean back when duolingo has discussions or what they called it, you might write nasty stuff. But now, imagine being banned for the wrong translation.
I haven't used duolingo for a few weeks because my hack to have infinite hearts broke again and I'm too lazy to put in the effort even tho it's not that difficult actually
I'm gonna be real, Duolingo is literally only good for motivation and easy vocab review. It has been years since I used it, but the best advice I got on that website was when forums still existed and people told me that the translations for JP were shit and to learn somewhere else, which is probs why those forums got deleted.
If you have to use hacks to not be bored/deal with the bullshit, then just leave man. It's not worth the bird begging you to come back. Find stuff online, YT (unfortunately) is your friend for resources.

Gamified social media with streaks and fomo notifications for daily scrolling or posting or whatever is hilariously bad and transparent.
but people fall for it, otherwise every social media wouldnt have it
Every? It was news to me that even reddit does this. I must have left them all too early.
I didnt know they had it either but I'm not surprised to find out. I know Snap started it, TikTok has it, I believe Instagram has it, and Reddit having it comes as no surprise to me

That’s it, we are taking away the awards system.
Jk, you can have it back.

Even on old reddit they have these annoying and constant "achievement" notifications now.
I’m so glad I left completely (minus the random search result with no other leads, but no browsing) when the API fuckery started, corporate social media sounds like an absolute hellscape now.

Wha... do you get some kind of reddit currency if you make a post that breaks 1000 upvotes, with a multiplier based on your log in streak length?
Jesus Christ, these fucking dark pattern, microtransaction shit just needs to be universally banned.
They have a “basement dweller” achievement if you hit two years.
Yeah honestly a social media streak getting bigger is a sign I should probably take a day off.
And nothing of value was lost
What did you do?
Not op but I got perma banned for fighting with people who were defending massive pedophile Dr disrespect. They were arguing that "it was legal that means it's okay". I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16. Legally he could fuck a 16 year old. However that doesn't change the fact that he's a pedophile scumbag regardless of legality.
I was then banned for "child sexual content" :)
Sounds right.
Reddit has gotten so pathetic. Sad to see it fall so hard. If it was like this in 2012 I would have never signed up

Well the sentence that initially got me a three day ban was "Hitler did nothing wrong" which I'm aware doesn't look good on paper but it was a quote and not my own words. According to Reddit the decision was automated so I appealed what I thought was an honest mistake and that's when they probably saw my recent posts promoting Lemmy and talking about Palestine and decided to ban me permanently. That or they didn't like that I filed an appeal. I haven't used Reddit nearly as much since getting on Lemmy anyway so this is more funny than annoying but still a weird way to go.
Having gone cold turkey and just left, it's weird no matter how you leave. Realizing how addicted I was, was kind of hard for my psyche.

Not OP but I got banned on reddit atleast 4 times. Zero bans on Lemmy though.
All for supposed harassment usually after having a disagreement in certain subreddits. Honestly could be anything their report system seems easy to abuse
Now, I don't tend to have those on Lemmy nearly as much, but when the pedophile I was disagreeing with reported me here the mods were chill to hear my side after issuing me a warning.
For both the more chill atmosphere and the better mods I like more here.

Welcome, don't step in the Tankies on your way in.
Why do we keep those near the front door, anyway?
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.

Lemmy. The support group for burned reddit veterans.
We were there. We put in thousands of hours of work. Years of moderating. Free work. Content creators. People who commented. Voted. All that karma ...
All gone cause you upvoted an anti trump or musk post. Or maybe you upvoted a photo of a tessler burning.
Maybe you didn't think Luigi should get the death penalty.
Don't worry brother. Upvote what you want. Be free with the rest of us.

I wonder if the reason is because 50501 started on Reddit and they are determined to not let it happen again.

Welcome to the club!!!
I canceled my reddit pro, or reddit+ account, whatever the f*ck it is called, and the ads, the ads.... Ads that look like posts, or comments. It's almost making me 100% Lemmy too.

Reddit used to be good enough to get people to post daily without cajoling
There it is. Their chatbots need more training data and reinforcement feedback.
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)

Uh oh, did you suggest something that isn't aligned with corporate status quo enforcement?
I was permabanned without explanation and reinstated two weeks later, again without comment.
I believe this tracks with what to expect should we ever see the tech-bro billionaires divide the world into monarchy fiefdoms ocer which rhey are each the unchallenged lord and master.

Lately I'm seeing a lot of this on old accounts
I had a few alt accounts from a decade ago that I'd sometimes used to get something from that site but over the past year the all got banned for no reason because I literally didn't even post with them.
Im guessing that Reddit wants to get rid of those older users that still remember how great it was

Feel that pain this year would have been my 10th year on Reddit. I was permanently banned last June for saying I hope the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. It’s still blows I can’t post or comment on anything. I was part of a close nit group on Reddit involving a car subreddit and now it sucks to see people commenting on where I am and what happened.

Oh, you can get banned here. It's not like this is like a place of free speech. It's just that the internet is kind of created little pockets of echo chambers. It is what it is. And like it was always going to be like that anyways. I just like it that it's not monetized by corporations that are bombing the shit out of children.

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.

My Reddit account was permanently banned for saying I hope Nazi scum Elon Musk dies soon. Had previously caught temporary bans for saying things like "We should overthrow Musk into the sea." in response to him having argued King Charles should overthrow the UK government. Reddit admins really don't seem to like it when you're righteously intolerant of evil scumfuck psychopaths who use their unearned power and influence to cause immeasurable harm to society, the world and its inhabitants. Things like that break Rule 1, threatening violence, they claim.
Although the permanent ban was only for a couple of days since I for once was successful in my appeal. I basically said death =/= violence. An obvious truth to anyone, except some Reddit admins apparently.
I've not really used Reddit since. Kind of lost my will to bother with a US based site that's clearly and predictably going in a US direction, i.e. spiraling down the fascist sewage. Instead I've been drifting over to here. Will see what the moderation over here is like.

My reddit account got a strike by an admin for describing the risks involved in traveling to the USA currently (abduction, torture for an undetermined amount of time). The appeal I made to that was accepted but it left a sour taste in my mouth.
