Your first mistake was going to reddit.

Your second was abstractly talking about the fix here but not saying what it actually is.

Weird thing to post in a shitpost community, though. I'm pretty sure there are dedicated communities for stuff like this.

Just stop using reddit. Quit it.

Charges: resisting arrest

So you come to a completely different and unrelated website (and community) to complain about it while using AI to write your post? I don't mean to be rude, but this is a bit unpleasant.

If you're leaving Reddit in favour of Lemmy then you're welcomed. But keep in mind, we are not Reddit and don't want anything to do with it. Also, keep your instance's rules and those that may apply to the community to which you are posting. If you don't like your current instance you can migrate to a new one or make your own.

Welcome to Lemmy

I used to love Reddit and it was my only social media site for a decade. But it became so Kafka-esque that it was causing me a tremendous amount of stress. Constantly fighting mod bans was akin to tilting at windmills, as it was completely pointless. So I quit cold turkey last year, deleting my account, and found Lemmy a few days later. I still find the content on Reddit incredibly helpful when I'm searching for information and posts come up on Google but I cannot interact with the site/app any longer. The constant deletions and bans are contrary to the original spirit of the site and have reached SNL sketch level.

Post the exact comment that got you banned. I'm sure many on Lemmy would find it fun to repost it to the Roku forum over and over. We don't care about Reddit bans.

Update: No regrets — the fix still works and my sanity remains unbanned. 😂

I was perma-banned from r/gaming because of piracy. I posted a link to an unofficial port of a decompiled, abandonware game.

I had setup some Lemmy accounts a while back but was procrastinating on settling into them.  Received a 2-week ban for a Rule 1 violation because suggesting that users own their hardware is apparently violent.  Took the opportunity to finally finish setting up in the Fediverse and haven't opened Reddit since.

Those metrics are definetly not real.

Welcome to the fediverse! We've got Star Trek, Linux, and seasonal beans.

I was perma banned by admins for hurting a mods feelings. Reddit is so scared of having to pay mods they let them do whatever they want. There is no point in trying to rationalize it. As long as mods go unpaid, they will be allowed to have absolute power in the communities they control.

I gave it one more shot after being away for a year. Posting my latest 3D Printer mod (after on Lemmy and the manufacturers forum). Immediately got a snarky garbage commenter. That's what I get.

Stop using ChatGPT to write your posts. If your Roku fix was formatted like this one, I'd pull it off my community too

8k views means 7k ai scrapers downloading the same resource over and over

This is why I don't use reddit anymore.

I think reddit has lost most of its human users so it's just NPC's and bots.

Is this !fuck_ai@lemmy.world ?

Welcome to federated social media my dude. You're better off without that shithole.

I've been auto shadowbanned from a technical community, more than once. No idea why. It'd be nice to have a conversation with a mod like that, at least.

It seems others have too. Whenever I go back to check, it's like all the brainpower has been sucked from the sub.

Sometimes I see an 'issue' or 'help' post I have an impulse to post exactly what they need, before I realize I can't... and no one else posts anything helpful.

...Yet sometimes weird, obvious bots reply.

I don't know what the heck is going on with Reddit, but its amazing its lasted this long.

... So what's the fix?
