My 10 year account got banned for voicing criticism of the fascist State of Israel
What got you banned?
I got perma-banned earlier this week. I make discord bots, was helping others out explaining some of the setups i use, a mod disliked that. Wasn’t against the rules. He banned me in a lot of places, I was trying to damage control due to how many I was being banned from, opening tickets and trying to at least figure out a fix or something and he painted it like I was stalking/ban evading, trying to find him IRL, from my own “business” account that was fully linked up to the website I had that was linked to my youtube/bots/bot building/game etc. Reddit took his side.
Means I also lost the subreddit and the users who were following updates.
End of the day, no matter how big the stuff gets, reddit is blacklisted and will remain that way indefinitely. They will never get business from me.
That sucks. I really miss the niche subs and due to content I still lurk, lemmy hasn’t gotten there yet.
I don’t know bots or backend stuff but been thinking a Reddit reply bot that can be hosted on Lem or elsewhere that allows anyone to use the bot to engage would be cool.
It would still clearly pander to that shit company but damn I really do miss certain communities
It was helpful for that for sure. 3d printing, TrueNAS, Bots, Python etc. But holy hell if you catch a mod on a bad day they can ruin years of progress. Its a shame it ended like that but its not the end of the world. Shit happens.
Plus… I dont miss the drama, everyone assuming your hostile when asking or talking about something.
You’re right, the angst and drama was too much a reminder of FB when I dropped it in 2020.
On the plus side it’s brought more folks to Lemmy and the niche/local communities can be built here.
Banned? No. Other way around. I banned reddit from my devices after the API fiasco.
there is a way, but its much more convoluted. different IP/device and browser is the usual method, as long as you are not repeating the same exact pattern as before. but why spend that money anyways, the only people that do are the ones using reddit to drive traffic to thier own sites/OF agency, of whom reddit is constantly playing cat and mouse in detecting them. i also have supsicion reddit preferentially dont ban aggresively against propaganda bots as much as the ones i mentioned above.
No ban, it just reached a threshold of enshittification where I said “enough is enough” and left.
Reddit didn’t ban me, I banned them.
I wasn’t banned, but I rolled over after 3rd party apps were taken away on the day they stopped working. I only use the app for it so taking that away made it pretty easy to stop and no i wasnt going to use their own because they forced my hand. Apps were limited on lemmy at that time and had to wait like 4 months before the one i used to use was released, but it was worth it.
I got a 7 day ban for criticizing the current administration. Then I responded with go fucj yourself to the mod team and got my ban.
Not sorry.
Reddit admins, go fuck yourselves
Username checks out.
I was permabanned in Elon’s post-inauguration bloodbath, after 12 years, and a million Karma.
I know it sounds like sour grapes, but Reddit had already fallen far, and it’s fallen much farther since. I was checking out a thread that came up in a search, and I had to endlessly scroll through puns, novelty accounts, more puns, trolls, tangents, etc. I gave up before ever getting to anything resembling the subject I had searched. Useless.
I just stopped using it. No ban necessary.
I did get one or two temporary bans some years ago. First time was for criticizing their censorship. The second time was for sending the middle finger emoji to Spez.
I’m not going to go out of my way to delete my dead user or posts or anything. It’s not my problem. Quite frankly, I just don’t give a shit about their site.
No, I was targeted. I would say anything eventually and it would trigger a 24 hour ban near immediately. Then I’d appeal, win the appeal, come back to say one thing and BAM suspended within the hour.
I’m pretty sure I was on some list. My comments would get thousands of upvotes. I ran economy for a fucking minute (by way of being the first to respond to propaganda posts). Every time maga would attempt their bullshit I was there in a minute to respond to it. Then these suspensions kept happening, and eventually I started getting suspensions for months old posts immediately after an appeal went through.
I know it sounds crazy but I’m telling you, this was a targeted thing and I’m not the only one.
This was my experience as well. Definite targetting. Most of the bans coming after being critical of Capitalism. The Reddit incels and rightoids like to whinge that Reddit is anti-right wing and moderates those viewpoints into oblivion, but it’s just cognitive dissonance or gaslighting. You can do just about anything short of direct threats or doxxing on Reddit and be just fine, as long as you don’t question that which is unquestionable, i.e. Capitalism. Even inside some very socialist or left-leaning subreddits you see this.
Got banned twice recently. First time was for using kirk as a verb and the second time for pointing out the irony of israel working with nazi sympathizers to genocide muslims.
“Kirk’d” and “Sherminating” also resulted in my bans. Quoting John Brown was my third and final.
My 7 year acct is banned over an f-ing movie quote in a sub asking your favorite movie quote? I even cited and referenced to 2 MODs and even their AI said it’s a quote. But since the quote “promoted violence” it was removed and now when I post on the acct it’s shadow banned.
The quote came from Samuel L Jackson from the beginning of Jackie Brown when he started with “AK-47.”
I wonder if you’d have gotten the same ban for sharing a “violent” quote by the same actor from a different Tarantino film.
Or would that one have been ok if you credited it to Pete Hegseth
One of my bans came from directly quoting the heritage foundation (successfully appealed). So no, you wouldn’t be ok.
Not banned. Just productised.
- Can’t use the app of my choose. Must use Reddit app.
- Can’t have an anonymous account, must be tied to email.
- Can’t have a non-age verified account, must have your ID
All whilst selling data to AI training companies.
Fuck off!
Who hasn’t been banned from a number of subs on reddit? It’s a fascist place.
I got banned for visiting my mother. No really. I decided to log on from her house, and the anti-bot bot noticed I was using a different IP address and flagged me for being a bot. Did the little dance to confirm I’m a real person, which resulted in a permanent ban. Thanks Reddit!
Someone asked if a resuscitated prisoner has finished their life sentence, I said you have to be irrevocably dead, Reddit said that promoted violence.
