I got a message on reddit that I had been auto-banned from a sub I had never even been to r/landlords, because I posted in a sub they didn’t like, I forget if it was r/antiwork or r/latestagecapitalism or something like that. It’s just a silly place now.

Yes. Reddit is obsessed with banning and censorship to an unhealthy and stupid degree. Like even as someone who thinks social media should be moderated, even I think they go way too far with it.

I’ve had to create a lot of alt accounts because I kept getting banned. I’m not right-wing, I don’t troll people and I don’t use slurs or violent words. You would THINK that would be enough, but no.

Consider it a nudge in the right direction.

I’m here because reddit is now a useless NFT cash grab and 80% of reddit mods are authoritarian pieces of trash.

You’re not missing much. You could even find a mastodon community you like and start spreading your positive messages there.

Welcome to the future. Welcome to the resistance.

Contact user support…oh right there is none

My 13 year old account with 250,000 comment karma was perma-banned without warning for commenting “It’s ok to punch Nazis”. Since then, maybe 3 years, I’ve had probably 25-30 Reddit accounts. Pretty easy to create a dummy email account and set up a new Reddit account. I have a browser script that auto adds all my subs back for me if I just copy the link from my old account. I’m usually back up and running in about 10 minutes. But I finally decided to drop the platform after the election because it just isn’t worth it anymore.

Mods of individual subs can get you banned site-wide if they don’t like you. You can be auto-banned from individual subs if they’ve detected you commented in other subs they don’t like. Their block system is a joke that prevents people from correcting other’s misinformation. They banned 3rd party apps. And their co-founder/CEO is a trashcan of a human being.

Reddit is quickly becoming a cesspool. You should just give up on it. The internet is a big place.

Literally the reason I’m here now, banned because I share my computer with someone, which triggered some “ban evasion detection”. Both of use appealed, both of us denied within hours, despite both accounts being multiple years old

I got banned for reporting a post with the statement “links to nazi platform” (it was a link to X).

I got a message in my inbox about my account being given “a warning” for abusing the report system. I was then permanently banned an hour later.

I had like 5 accounts, one of them dating back to 2008. They are now all permanently suspended. Because I offended some loser moderator.

Or maybe they all got banned because I still used a third party Reddit client? Oh well. Fuck Reddit. I’ll continue using my cracked third party Reddit client and browse Reddit in read-only mode. Lemmy can be where I actually contribute !

Welcome to reddit dawg. I had an account over 10 years old and another SFW account I was using that was about 5-6 years old. I was on my SFW browsing one day, tried to make a post, and saw that I was blocked, but there was no inbox message yet, so I went on my other account and saw that it had gotten a message about being banned for a comment made months ago, so I tried to appeal it, which was denied. Best I can tell they just banned all of my accounts once the first one got banned, even though I wasn’t even aware of the ban in the first place.

I don’t use Reddit, nor do I tend to do so, so take what I say with a pinch of salt!

Reddit is one of those sites that utilizes AI moderation, so if you’ve been banned without any warning or notice, chances are your ban wasn’t even authorized by another human, but instead by a bot. Your IP address can either be static or dynamic, and if you have a dynamic IP address that changes to an IP that is associated with a user who got banned at some point in time, chances are the bot will see you as that other person and assume a ban evasion.

You could try appealing. If that doesn’t work, perhaps it’s best to shrug it off and try a different social media. Lemmy isn’t the biggest website in the world, but it’s one of the best social medias I’ve used and people here are generally helpful and friendly!

Which LLM are you?

Imagine you are a smoker and the addiction makes it impossible for you to quit. Then one day nobody will sell you a cigarette or let you bum one off them.

Count your blessings and move on.

Reddit Karma ain’t worth shit. Imaginary Internet points.

I got permabanned twice. One account was for using a slur. I was quoting from a movie in a post about that movie (Glengarry Glenross). It was clearly a quote but they didn’t even respond.

The second time I made comment that happened to be in a post about an Indian man on a train, something about the simple fact that every video I see with an Indian man and a train, the man will do something stupid and die. It was in no way racist but some twat complained that I was using a stereotype and I was permabanned again. Again, no reply when I chased them

Fuck Reddit to hell and back. It’s full of argumentative self-righteous tools anyway.

I got permabanned for suggesting too many times that we should eat rich people (was joking, obviously.) They also permabanned my wife and her cousin who lived in our basement, I assume because we were on the same wifi? We all appealed and never got any response about it. I don’t really care about my ban, and my wife never posted and neither did her cousin so they didn’t care much, but it’s like bro, that’s not fair that they got banned as well.

You probably crossed an admin and didn’t even realize it. Reddit is really utterly shit behind the curtains, they just happen to put on a good face that has generally fooled politicians and influencers alike. Most people care about what’s behind the curtains like they do with politics, not much at all, so they keep getting away with it specially due to the heavy control they have on the narrative. You know societies will begin to give a shit about social networks and what that is doing to our real societies when you actually have a recourse against their Black Mirror Nosedives.
