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.

Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it's surreal.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 45 points 1 day ago

It's always been like that. They're parasite - they ruin the thing they latch on to, then they jump ship with fat stacks of cash and move on to the next product to kill.

It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.

Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.

Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.

I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.

What opinion got you banned?

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 104 points 1 day ago (5 children)

OP conveniently omitting that detail suggests that popcorn may be in order.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 16 points 20 hours ago

I said billionaires and oligarchs should be luigi'd.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Probably just practical observations for how to improve things

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Or just expressing his love for a certain Super Mario Brother.

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago

I got a warning for upvoting a Luigi post (or a post that reddit deemed as "wrongthink"), the bot didn't say which sub or post that triggered it so it's kind of impossible to say for sure or even avoid getting banned from upvoting something they don't like.

[–] peachmtn@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Or a racist and violent tirade.

They’re all just baseless theories until they reveal what they actually said.

Perhaps a comment about Louie G.

[–] SourDrink@lemmy.world 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Funny thing, I've been calling him Manny G

Man... I wen't through so many permas on reddit. I am so happy that the alternative is forming

[–] bamboo@lemm.ee 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We’ve been here for a few years, but we’re grateful to have new people!

[–] Cephiroth@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Ready for the explosion of users! I hope Lemmy is ready as well.

Honestly, I shouldn't still be pissed about my ban but I can't help it.

I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points

Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason

It's been a couple of months and they still haven't even bothered to respond to my appeal

Now that I see how reddit's going down the tube, I don't even care if they respond at this point

I'm done with it

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Same here. No reason. No response. Fuck those guys. And fuck Spez.

[–] RangerJosey@lemmy.ml 28 points 1 day ago

My account was 17 years old when I was banned without explanation.

[–] daannii@lemmy.world 26 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.

Still trying appeals but not optimistic.

Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.

.... Im so bitter.

Now I'm bitter for you too.

Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 6 points 20 hours ago

AI... And they'll be the users too!

[–] freely1333@reddthat.com 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence.. like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.

Nice permanent ban!

I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel's back.

I got suspended for using the word "retard" in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.

[–] glepswizardhat@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

LMFAO this is what happens when ai is used for moderation

[–] GooberEar@lemmy.wtf 9 points 17 hours ago

Possibly, but this happened long ago enough that AI probably wasn't a factor. Just good ole fashioned human stupidity and/or ignorance.

Kinda nice to get banned though. I was banned from xitter for liking a comment critical of the muskman, it really helped reinforce that I needed to be done with that place though. Maybe I'll move on from Reddit before that happens...

[–] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 15 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago) (2 children)

I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you've never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.

for anyone that's never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never

and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don't like so elongated muskrats don't get thier feewings hurt

Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.

[–] accretion@lemm.ee 13 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Deleted my 15 yr account yesterday. Hola!

[–] SmokeytheBeard1@lemm.ee 7 points 13 hours ago

Deleted my 14 year old account on Saturday. Fuck em.

It's actually nice to open a comments section and see the same goddamn 10 comments every time.

[–] elatedCatfish@lemm.ee 10 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol

Once you're banned, do your previous posts and comments get deleted? Or do you just lose access to them?

[–] DistressedDad@lemmy.ca 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I'll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can't respond

[–] bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 day ago

Don't be distressed about it, dad. You're here now. You're safe.

My account was 11 years old when I left. Destroyed all my data, thank you very much

Considering deleting my account as a statement but I’m kind of attached to the history which is why it’s kind of scary touching it at all at this point. All I’m using it for now is for a few crafting subreddits and some clothing based subreddits that don’t have equivalents on Lemmy yet. One I might be able to create myself. But we’re talking 5-10 of my most frequent hangouts. That seems like a bit much.

Hey at least you got banned! I just keep getting network errors on mine which is clearly shadow banned since logging in on any other account on the same device does work normally.

If it's like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

When the account is banned is still possible to edit or delete own comments or posts?

Consider running that script that goes over each post or comment and replace it with random words, just to poison their ai training
