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.

"If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."

In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I'm threatening violence. Lol

It was a bot that automatically banned you

[–] Kookie215@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn't work and is seemingly also run by bots.

I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.

The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.

I don’t even know anymore.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

Some people appealed for 6months before they got a response.

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Appealing too many temp bans (all unfounded) got me perma banned.

Corpo bootlickers, kicking all humans off their platform until they remaining are indistinguishable from the growing see of bots.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I literally don’t know why I’m shadowbanned though, I didn’t do anything even adjacently controversial!

I guess I just talk like a bot? Not that they ban those, ha…

But yeah that’s what gets me, if there was some stated reason for a shadowban or permanent I’d be understanding, but zero feedback? Really?

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shadowbans are the cowards way of dealing with unwanted users — I understand why they do it, but it happens to way too many normal posters.

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's okay for zapping low-effort bots, but there should always be a way for humans to deal with it...

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I visited the shadowban subs, which lets you comment and apparently normal users are getting dusted for very little reason. If that sub is getting such a frequent postings, it's a red flag.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

It's clear they only want people just browsing and not logged in anymore. All for the advertisement money

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's because they've given an LLM the ability to ban for "promoting or threatning violence", and it's terrible. It basically sees two "bad" words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like "unalive" and things like that.

Interestingly it doesn't work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don't get banned after quoting comments that get banned).

Explains why I got permabanned for quoting a fictional character that wanted to kill someone, jfc

[–] libra00@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn't go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I've had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I've been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.

My post got taken down for racism.

I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.

“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”

Told them to go fuck them selves.

Never got an answer.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got a temporary ban once for racism - for a comment I made about a nonexistent race.

Good thing he died in a nuke in SGA episode

[–] _____@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.

[–] CubitOom@infosec.pub 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.

Redditors are going to end up on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world

[–] Scabz@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just got permanently banned from Reddit at the end of a 2 day ban. I haven't even posted or commented anything yet. Reddit is dead.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago

I have been hearing people were getting perms banned as soon as their temp bans were lifted.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How many people get banned for quoting Trump's violent rhetoric?

[–] Amaranth@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was banned 3 days for "hate speech" because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.

I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a "photo" of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because....really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.

I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn't permitted to speak against this threat?

I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn't even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.

I got a three day ban for saying that Deadpool would do something to Tim Gunn. Deadpool the fictional character and Tim Gunn, the very real fashion chair (at the time) of Parsons School of Design. I forget what, possibly kidnap him to protect him from something. IDK, whatever it was was impossible and not in any way inciting violence.

I got a warning for saying "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye" in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.
