Reddit going full mask-off 1984 huh? Next thing it’ll be illegal to downvote things Reddit likes to push… Or why even bother with the votes anyway, Reddit will just show you only the things that it deems good for you, like the benevolent Big Brother.
Fuck that place.
Also: welcome to all our new members! “We’re Not Perfect, But At Least We’re Not Reddit!” ™
Same shit happens here and you know if. Anyone with any user count is heavily moderating violence.
Just a stupid question, if it’s “banned content”, why is it on Reddit?
And that was the final push to get me to make an account over here. Fucking hell
r/fuckreddit
Thank God I’m not on reddit anymore.
Everybody upvote Luigi content! Get banned! Leave reddit! Reddit crumbles! Fuck reddit! Go Luigi! Lemmy grows! Centralized social media dies! I eat a burrito. That last one wasn’t really on topic, but it’s happening anyways! I’m hungry.
I’ve been banned twice in the past 30 days.
5 of my accts were banned last month, all at once. one got temp suspended, and a triggered a sitewide ban for the others for some "reason. theres no reason to ban all others when it was just temp suspended. but they went extra out of thier way(any old and new accts that have years of seperation between a subreddit ban(if they dint get banned immediately after getting sub banned) they banned accounts.
ex, i had 2 unused accts 5+years, and 1 recent temp suspension(then they look at other accts you were per banned from a subreddit in, and banned all of them). i had also a couple of unused throwaways that i started using from years ago(last month), and a semi-new acct that i use just in case of a ban that i dint use for 90days. and then 1 acct strictly used for 1 subreddit.
only 1 survived but its still flagged by reddit, but have no ban on it right now. creating mroe than 1 acct just puts people at risk of getting banned.
Same. I used Reddit for 12 years. Got perma-banned last year for saying things about Israel that people didn’t like, I guess.
Moved to lemmy.
The thing is said last summer that got me permabanned was “international law states that occupied indigenous populations have a right to resist occupation and fight back by any means possible” reddit has an aversion to facts as do all conservatives and their fellow neo liberal boot lickers
i said something about israel on worldnews at the start of the gaza conflict, site wide suspension for 7 days, i largely abandoned that acct, and went witha throwaway(and mostly avoided that sub). then i was banned last month with the throwaway triggered a multi-ban.
If it’s anything but fasc or bootlicker content, they’ve been trying to ban it.
I got permabanned a couple weeks ago for saying “the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi”
Like, why are you defending Nazis, spez? Huh?
It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.
I got permabanned for reporting hateful comments on a r/conservative post that was glorifying Nazis a few weeks ago. No warning. Been on Reddit for over a decade without causing any problems. Sounds like Reddit as a corporation has picked a side
They picked a side when they let a bunch of fash shit slide on T_D in the run up to 2016. No surprise though-- tech bros rarely have a working moral compass
and they allow r/conservative constantly hit the front page now, when it almost never did prior to the election.,
And it’s so much worse now with how many sub comments and posts that sub has. It’s painfully obvious they’ve replaced even the most devout users with autogenerated agenda posts. That place is some of the most obvious propaganda I’ve seen on the internet
ahhh that’s what happened to me then. I just randomly got banned one day and I think it was reporting a conservative post for hate or something
same thing happened to me, but on a different sub. “they said report abuse is not allowed” so i was temp ban on a technology sub, funny enough. and it just triggered a full sitewide ban for all my other accts with little warning.(im pretty sure the temp suspension was going to get perma banned down the line, because i heard other used got banned sitewide after thier temp ban ended for no reason at all, which was caused by an error on thier part which they refused to do anything.) basically if you been temp banned the filters on subs dont reset so it detects you as a ban evader if you comment on the sub again, even if you are in the clear.
alSO IF the mod doesnt like you reporting someone they will lecture you and ban you for “report abuse”.
i found out mods do not want to deal with large query of “reports” from users so they get lazy and they autoban, or ban people just to not have to do anything about the person being reported. in case the accts gets a repeal, they will make an excuse up to admins why they banned someone.
Reddit mods can’t see who reported things, only that something was reported. I used to be the head mod for a 1M+ sub. The admins can see that though, and mods can forward reports to the admins for review.
they must be getting the identity of the reporter from the admins, if the mods are nosey enough. im guessing thats how they got some of my accts that way. but a couple times on different subs, the mods personally messaged the ban message" and ranted why the other user wasnt reportable"
If you post on r/conservative they will actually stalk you and look through your posts to report stuff … but you report them and that is ok.
I got permabanned like two years ago for quoting “eat the rich” by Aerosmith. Also suggesting we should eat the rich. Several times. They also permabanned everyone on my wifi. I did the entire household a service.
You got IP banned, damn.
I use 4G for my home internet, my IP address changes so frequently. Always thought IP bans were kinda dumb, certainly permanent ones. Maybe throw a week long one on so they don’t immediately create a new account but past that their address has almost certainly changed.
I got banned a few weeks back for an anti-trump post.
That account was 11 years old and I was very active over those years. But nope. Don’t talk smack about the orange god.
It solidified Lemmy as my permanent reddit replacement. No ragrets.
100% agree
reddit has been sliding right wing for a while, 90% of the posts are about trump, and not really the important things hes doing behind the scenes, just “reaction posts” of trumps gaffes. reddit is also sustaining X social media too with thier posts.
He’s defending Nazis because the president and “prime minister” are overt Nazis.
Burrito pilled Lemmy maxing
What about Lemmy-pilled burrito maxing, are we cool with that too?
frfr
Try explaining that term to someone in 1925. I’m proud of how far we’ve come.
I agree. And now want to be your friend.
What’s in your burrito? My favorite is adobada.
Lengua
I like beans in mine.
Between his username, your username, and the topic at hand, I don’t like where this is headed…
Burrito in, burrito out.
Already got permabanned for saying he was justified, I like it better here anyway
Same here.
I got banned but their site is so shit the links to the message you got banned for never work. Been banned/warned enough times it’s not a one off either.
i pointed out the censoring of luigi news in dec, and people actually believed that wasnt happening, and having all that trump rage post slop thats been posting in order to astroturf luigi news.
Reddit will now issue warnings to users who “upvote several pieces of content banned for violating our policies” within “a certain timeframe,” starting first with violent content, the company announced on Wednesday.
Hmm. What does this pertain to?

https://www.theverge.com/news/606904/reddit-rules-bans-violence-doxing-elon-musk-doge
Reddit has seen an increase in rule-breaking posts across “several communities,” and it has issued a temporary ban on one that featured users calling for violence against people who work for the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
That community, r/WhitePeopleTwitter, was given a 72-hour ban on Tuesday, as reported by Engadget. Screenshots shared on X show multiple examples of the threatening posts. Musk later reposted the screenshots, claiming that the users have “broken the law.”
In a note on the subreddit, Reddit says it was banned “due to a prevalence of violent content” and that “inciting and glorifying violence or doxing” violate Reddit’s rules. An unnamed Reddit admin said the ban was meant to be a “cooling-off period” for the community.
Reddit also gave a full ban to a subreddit called r/IsElonDeadYet for violating rules “against posting violent content.” The unnamed admin said Reddit is taking steps “to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation” in a post on r/RedditSafety.
Ah.
That’s what reddit is now, a place for people to vent, and have them cattled up if they become too much of a nuisance.
is that sub even unbanned, i havnt seen it for weeks. right after whitepeopletwitter was banned, they started another huge ban wave that continued into FEB. definitely silencing all anti-conservative sentiment, the “progressives” posts that are allowed, get AstroTurf by trolls.
Ok but if someone was to Luigi Elon that would be based. Or Elon can follow his leader and end it in a bunker. Don’t overly care which way.
Geez, I sure hope someone starts a fediverse version of r/IsElonDeadYet right away!
I don’t know how to do proper links, but wanted to let you know that one does already exist.
The format uses ! with the comm plus @ the instance, so !iselonmuskdeadyet@lemmy.world
Thank you!
One day I might remember…
Oooo
twitter bluesky (twitter 2.0) reddit (twitter 3.0)
bluesky i heard , propaganda is starting to infiltrate that app. time to will tell if it enshittifies.
THOUGHT CRIME THOUGHT CRIME THOUGHT CRIME
Is this after it is banned or before it is banned? Either way, seems ridiculous
i heard peoples new accts get banned very quickly after giving “upvotes”.
They mean content that violates the terms of service.
Well that’s just straight up fucking bonkers.
It’s okay, we’ll all be able to go back to Digg soon.
Slashdot too?
alt.binaries
not surprising, on another site/forum where reddit users got banned for upvoting in attempt to mimic human activity on reddit to promote thier of accts later down the line, thats whats been happening. they are using some technical tricks trying to get around these bans, but reddit is quickly closing those gaps, thats why thier bans have been so aggressive lately. they overmoderate, and overbanned recently.
Any more bonkers than anything else on Reddit since the exodus? Lol
Consider r/redditseppuku
I suddenly have an urge to upvote banned content. Talk about being insecure. That post was soon followed up by another of the “we investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong” sort.
something more ridiculous is getting banned for reporting someone obviously for one of the rule violation. the MOD can choose when they are in the mood, and ban you if they dont like you reporting someone.
Where is reddit announcing this???
Edit, apparently reddit security. Weird verge didn’t put that in
