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:
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.
Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.
If it's like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂
I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you've never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.
for anyone that's never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never
and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don't like so elongated muskrats don't get thier feewings hurt
I learned about it as the buttbuttination problem before I new it had a proper name, heh.
Ngl, that's kinda hilarious (and sad at the same time)
When the account is banned is still possible to edit or delete own comments or posts?
Consider running that script that goes over each post or comment and replace it with random words, just to poison their ai training
When I tried that script in 2023 it didn't work. Just go back and delete your best. If you can. Good luck.
Considering deleting my account as a statement but I’m kind of attached to the history which is why it’s kind of scary touching it at all at this point. All I’m using it for now is for a few crafting subreddits and some clothing based subreddits that don’t have equivalents on Lemmy yet. One I might be able to create myself. But we’re talking 5-10 of my most frequent hangouts. That seems like a bit much.
I had a 15 yr old account with thousands of comments. After a 3 day ban for a dumb joke about Boeing Starliner (that became partially true BTW) I deleted my top comments and closed my account. It's better not constantly doing scrolling, but I haven't left social media completely obviously.
That's the reason I haven't deleted my reddit aswell, I have some niche subreddits that mean the world to me and made me expand my hobby. I am however going to use lemmy more and who knows, reddit might become worse and we fully go to lemmy anyway!
Nice permanent ban!
I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel's back.
I got suspended for using the word "retard" in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.
LMFAO this is what happens when ai is used for moderation
Possibly, but this happened long ago enough that AI probably wasn't a factor. Just good ole fashioned human stupidity and/or ignorance.
I just stick with rarted instead. It sounds funnier (at least to me) and you can literally say it whenever
Deleted my 15 yr account yesterday. Hola!
Deleted my 14 year old account on Saturday. Fuck em.
It's actually nice to open a comments section and see the same goddamn 10 comments every time.
I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.
Still trying appeals but not optimistic.
Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.
.... Im so bitter.
Now I'm bitter for you too.
Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence.. like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.
AI... And they'll be the users too!
All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol
and they keep it vague so you never know the actual reason why its ban, they are definitely cleaning house to make it look facebook2.0, facebook now uses AI to control dead accts to engage in activities. reddit is heading this way, of course with right wing content too. its also becoming increasingl hard to make your own subreddit, or take it over. they want a small managable group where they can distribute propaganda.
Going back to their roots. This time they'll buy the from OpenAI.
Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it's surreal.
It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.
Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.
Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.
I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.
Soon we will see it happen to Discord. It will be pretty awful.
Man I’ve supported discord for years too. Fucking sucks. It makes me upset to think about.
Well at least IRC with come back with good searching... Unless Google fucks that up somehow. The internet is dead or dying.
It's always been like that. They're parasite - they ruin the thing they latch on to, then they jump ship with fat stacks of cash and move on to the next product to kill.
Nice! All of my Reddit accounts got banned this week too! Including one that hadn’t even made a post in over 6 months!
mines got banned early last month because of a suspension, 5+ accts gone.
What opinion got you banned?
OP conveniently omitting that detail suggests that popcorn may be in order.
I got banned for saying if nazis came for me, I'd go down without a fight and take a few with me 🤷🏻♂️ doesn't take much
Perhaps a comment about Louie G.
Do not pass Go.
Do not collect $200.
Honestly, I shouldn't still be pissed about my ban but I can't help it.
I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points
Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason
It's been a couple of months and they still haven't even bothered to respond to my appeal
Now that I see how reddit's going down the tube, I don't even care if they respond at this point
I'm done with it
Man... I wen't through so many permas on reddit. I am so happy that the alternative is forming
