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.

You get perm banned. You delete your account. You wait 6 months with zero interaction with the reddit site. You clean out all the reddit cookies in your browser. You delete any reddit extensions that you may have in your browser. You use a different email for verification. But you still use your original IP. Anyone ever try this?

I think the best tactic is never going back to that shitty website.

No opinion is so important that it needs to post it to Reddit imo

The thing is for some people reddit could be the only interaction they have with other people, so being banned would mean no more interaction

Seems like an awful lot of effort for very little reward.

I was just curious if there is a period of time that passes before their system basically purges "banned" IP's. They can't possibly have specific IP's that are forever banned

There are less than 4 billion valid public IPv4 addresses. At 4 bytes per address, a table of banned IP addresses is no more than 16 GB, which is child's play to store these days.

You can compress it further and make a lookup table with 1 bit per public IP address (because you plan on banning a lot of IPs) and the size is reduced by 32x, to 512 MB. Now they can store their ban list in RAM indefinitely
