I got banned for saying people should engage in mass protest against the arrest of judges and prevent anyone from entering and leaving the building in which they are held until they are released.
I’ll create a new Reddit account when I can be bothered to create a new email address.
It’s nuts, but once I learned that it was just an LLM doing content moderation (and probably the appeals, too), things made a lot more sense.
Spez is the exact kind of guy who would believe that community moderation is an “unsolved problem” and not, y’know, perfectly solvable by the same ol’: ya hire people to do it.
I was ahead of the curve, and got banned in October 2024 for Promoting violence when I said “If a president decided to betray America’s allies, and start directley helping Russia in its wars of conquest, America would probably end up with a dead president”
They basically told me to fuck off on my appeal, I had told them A) I wasnt threatening anything, and B) moderation is getting politically triggered and biased. and they permabanned me.
and I have since been Hardware banned from my main PC and my work PC, I still want to go back for some of the niche communities that havent emigrated over here yet, but I really cant be bothered to go and fire up a 8 year old laptop or something just for fucking reddit. its a cesspit and getting banned is largely a blessing in disguise.
There’s a reason why most of the people still there and ostensibly on the left are doomers. Reddit won’t tolerate anyone else. This also has the effect of encouraging more people to become doomers and not take any action.
that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they’re doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,
I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id’d for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever
That wont help, neither will a vpn or using a different device lol, I tried them all, think it has to be a different device youve never logged on before on a different network, i lost interest and just use lemmy now, reddit lowkey made me do stuff less, like id read more about my hobbies rather than doing them, like watching ppl game instead of gaming, but for any hobby

What were you banned for?
I suggested someone add an icon of torches and pitchforks to an email they were sending to company to complain.
Banned for inciting violence.

I got banned after 15 years for asking why we can’t organize to cyberbully Trump’s current head of social media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Cheung_(political_advisor)?wprov=sfla1
This was in response to the White House calling Garcia a terrorist on their Twitter account.

Since when does reddit take a hash of your hardware?

Thank you for informing me. I’ll take a look in ten years if they are still around.
In any case, I knew I would be banned eventually regardless so I just did as much agitating as possible until that point came.
I use iOS and that didnt stop me from making another account after I got banned. I have four burner accounts.
I have iCloud premium, using safari and burner mails I can make however many accounts I like!
I’m still on Reddit due to my RC hobby. The community here is too small
I have the same setup and they caught me within 24 hours. fuck em.
Nah thank you. Don’t wanna catch those nasty STDs.
