News and Discussions about Reddit

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:

Rules


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.

12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I've noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.

Got banned for telling a Nazi off.

I hate to be that guy, but when you say "Nazi," are you referring to a literal 1940s National Socialist German Workers Party 3rd/4th Reich "Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil" Nazi (aka a real actual Nazi), or someone with a different political/social opinion/ideology from you (ie, a Republican/Democrat/whatever is opposite of your political/social ideology)?

I was on Reddit for like 13 years and never got banned for less than positive interactions with people that said they supported real, actual Nazis.

They might mean people doing Nazi salutes in 2025.

[–] afronaut@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You conveniently left out the mostly likely case of them being Neo-Nazis which have been around since post-WWII.

I mean, was not when I said "4th Reich" including Neo-Nazis? I thought that is what I included.

Just to be clear, I do not support Nazis or Neo-Nazis. But American Democrats and Republicans (or any other ideology that may be different from my own) are not Nazis or Neo-Nazis. I don't agree with either side of American politics, but that does not make me qualify them as Nazis.

IMO, calling anyone that is not an actual, real Nazi, such as an American Democrat or Republican (or whoever else thinks opposite from me), a "Nazi" or even "Neo-Nazi," de-values the real suffering that people who are actual Holocaust victims had to deal with. Quite frankly, is insulting to me that anyone would ever attempt to equate the two. Its like saying getting hit by a fly swatter and a train will be the same level of pain and suffering.

I might think someone who thinks opposite of me is stupid, but it is neither illegal or against any rules to be stupid (sadly). But I certainly would not call them a Nazi and de-value the suffering Holocaust victims had to go through.

Given how Reddit bans are currently being dealt out, it's likely a "Aryan Race is superior and Jews are evil" Republican.

on another forum(not lemmy) they said reddit has recently enhanced thier detection of people ban evading using paid methods, which uses things to hide thier browser ID, IP,,,etc. its getting worst actually. thier also doing bulk bans, if a stranger gets banned anyone that is similar to that acct is also shadowbanned(allegedly thats what other banned users are reporting)

I've tried multiple ways of getting past it every account is almost instantly shadowbanned , I gave up searched for an alternative and found this

NSDAP, of course. Their moronic administrative decision of having redundant public institutions compete with each other is simply nonsense.

Yes, of course. Because only a Nazi would be concerned with trying to be respectful of victims of the awful, inhumane treatment they had to endure under the rule of one of the worst, if not the worst, governments of all time. Thank you. a should have realized this sooner.
