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:
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.
Deleted my 15 yr account yesterday. Hola!
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.
LMFAO this is what happens when ai is used for moderation
Possibly, but this happened long ago enough that AI probably wasn't a factor. Just good ole fashioned human stupidity and/or ignorance.
Nice! All of my Reddit accounts got banned this week too! Including one that hadn’t even made a post in over 6 months!
Do not pass Go.
Do not collect $200.
All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol
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?
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.
AI... And they'll be the users too!
Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it's surreal.
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.
Now create another account and repeat the same steps until they ban your IP
You get an achievement for that? Cuz I'm eligible.
Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.
I use this it doesn't work. In the sense that, to you your post may seem gone. But Reddit can and will restore them.
I use this exact tool when I left Reddit. They restored my posts.
It's not just that. The comment history doesn't go back further than 1000 posts. They are still there when you find an old or saved thread somehow. But the power delete suite uses the comment history and will miss a lot of older comments from a simpler time.
What opinion got you banned?
OP conveniently omitting that detail suggests that popcorn may be in order.
I said billionaires and oligarchs should be luigi'd.
I don’t want to doubt OP too hard, but yea, at least tell us what you said so we are not blindly siding with you
I agree with applying healthy skepticism to any and all stories. At the same time, I can't blame a recent Reddit refugee for not fully trusting Lemmy yet. They don't know the environment here. It makes sense for someone to be apprehensive about repeating a thing that just got them banned somewhere else.
But I hope OP feels comfortable enough here to share their story some day.
Perhaps a comment about Louie G.
Funny thing, I've been calling him Manny G
That's perfect. The more aliases, the better
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
Man... I wen't through so many permas on reddit. I am so happy that the alternative is forming
We’ve been here for a few years, but we’re grateful to have new people!
It was either you or Tildes.
I went with Tildes originally, but their admirable effort to only encourage long-form discussion works against growing a user base to be anything more than a Petri dish; people need those fast dopamine hits!
…that and they’re invite only.
My account was 17 years old when I was banned without explanation.
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...
