A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
EDIT: @[email protected] shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
That's not a shadowban, that's a straight up suspension.
A shadowban is just when your posts and comments are filtered and hidden from others.
No one regrets getting banned from nazi digg.
I don't regret being banned from the fly [Reddit] licking the Nazi shit [Twitter]. But I think it's important for people advertising Lemmy there to know.
I'd imagine in that particular case it felt like spam. If someone came through here and was named Nick_From_Nike and only posted in threads related to Nike and only positively about Nike, I feel like many would quirk a brow.
Are we seeing shadowbans with established accounts that don't have lemmy in their username? Considering r/redditalternatives is still going strong, seems unlikely.
Promise?
You can't save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I'd be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit's mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.
The biggest hope I have is those that migrate over leave the reddit jokes on reddit. We don't need a million comments about the guy with broken arms, swamps of dagobah, poop knife et al. flooding lemmy.
The exact rules of what links are banned varies from subreddit to subreddit. After posting a comment, I usually check in a private browser window to make sure it wasn't filtered.

That zero-width hack doesn't seem to work:
len("Le()mmy")
8
len("(Lemmy)")
7
If it weren't working your code wouldn't count an additional character on the first string.
Anyway, this is the character., as it seems that deleting the first parenthesis also deletes the ZWJ.
I'd just post something like:
I'll be shadowbanned for posting an actual link or mentioning the full name, but if you google "Lem reddit alternative" you'll get a lot of hits directing you the good place. Good luck, and see ya on the other side!
Wait how high am I? The example on top returns a length one higher than the example on bottom, because it has a non-printable character in there right?
Yes.
Uh wait did you edit the post and resolve something
Also nice going to python, I went to a web tool (Unicode char identifier) but gotta get more serious about 👨💻
I moderate r/spezholedesign and have set up AutoModerator to promote Lemmy on all posts. I have made a post directly linking to lemmy.world and nothing has happened. I've never gotten shadowbanned or suspended
I have no idea why I was shadowbanned and you weren't, then. Perhaps account age and/or karma had a role? (My account was five days old, and barely any karma.)
That's probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don't ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.
High posting karma accounts will get spared. They will axe accounts with comment karma only fairly readily.
Any suggestions on what I can do with a 12 year old account? I tried using it for the first time in two years to hype local protests.
I am permanently banned from r/politics
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Three-ish years ago, my comments kept getting eaten by shitty regexes, and I threw my hands up and started placing that after every fucking vowel. It worked everywhere except the few subs so pants-on-head stupid that they had a secret maximum comment length. I just. I don't. Fuck some moderators, y'know? Some people cannot be trusted with the tiniest bit of power. Misery multipliers.
Related unicode shenanigans: inhibit symmetric swapping, pop directional isolate, zero width non-joiner, zero width space. I have more I'll keep in reserve.
Interesting, I see’s it
(Believe it or not I actually wouldn’t have checked if you hadn’t mentioned)
Spent longer than I'd care to admit, searching that site for some other characters... before realizing it just printed the literal sequence of text you typed in.
lol ur welcome for the titillating experience

And odds are that the admins are basically running some glorified version of AutoMod, so fucking with their regex would work nicely. I'll try this next account, thank you! (Also adding it to the OP)
