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

30 day mute, write again and it's harassment.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Fffffff, that’s even worse.

Honestly the niche subs I visit are either cesspools or “brain drained” now, and unfortunately not much critical mass is here on Lemmy… Seems most went to Twitter, Insta/Tiktok or maybe Discord.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days 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?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 hours 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Mods there can ban if they dont agree eith your sports team, that shit is going downhill

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

CEOs being CEOs... Violent as ever 🤣

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think it's justified in this case. Unless you want more expensive hot dogs.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah this man is the only good CEO

Reddit permanently banned me for saying a person got "burned" when Trump did not pay the person. It was violent rhetoric, they said.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

You know who didn't use violent rhetoric? The scorpion, from the parable of the scorpion and the frog. Truly a paragon of common decency.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago

Leave Reddit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Nothing makes sense at reddit.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Moderated by AI for your ~~safety~~ compliance.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

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.
