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.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I loved Reddit, until executives took a nosedive and their admins screwed my account over with a blatantly false suspension.
Swartz would be appalled at what Huffman has done.
i got perma banned once for.... absolutely no reason. it got appealed when i asked why i was perma banned in my appeal
They completely ignored my appeal. 0 response. Later that wrongful suspension was used to justify a permanent suspension.
Same here
I was recently permanently banned from a subreddit for being a “spam” account
I tried to reason with the mods but they didn’t listen
I got some of my OC removed on reddit. When that happened, I got a message from the sub's moderators about the reason. Sometimes the reasoning did not make sense to me but in most cases it was in some way understandable. (I am also sure I must've pissed of a mod of the German sub because at some point they deleted whatever I posted...)
Anyway, what I want to say is: I got one OC post removed here on lemmy and was given no notification nor explanation. I only noticed it by accident. I hate it here.
Moderation log is public here - the reasoning you're looking for could be in there.
Ah! Thank you. That is good to know.
I got banned because an egomaniac janny spammer I outed as a reactionary stalked me around the site and kept reporting my comments, and I got tired of appealing and having the admins ban their alts while allowing them to still operate on the site.
Basically they ran a bunch of political subs that appealed to Reddit's userbase, but also had self-published a red/rape-pill book, and other actual copaganda materials that made light of police violence etc for police unions. They would ban anyone who mentioned this and report anyone who posted his other materials as doxxing attempts, even though they themselves would advertise the same materials and their own persona as a writer+comic artist.
I got banned from r/sports for talking about Australian Rules Football, I also got banned from r/Australia for showing a Simpson's meme about taxes. So I left Reddit, 'tis a silly place
Ya at the end I was banned from so many of the subs I liked that I was like, why am I even bothering to comment here? Ive said it many times no ban should be forever, we dont put people in jail forever and we should not ban accounts forever unless they can be proven to be bots, but then they should just be blocked before they ever get access to the system. But I gave up trying to convince reddit of that face and just left, its a cesspool now.
