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.

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.

My account was 17 years old when I was banned without explanation.

Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.

I use this it doesn't work. In the sense that, to you your post may seem gone. But Reddit can and will restore them.

I use this exact tool when I left Reddit. They restored my posts.

i had to delete them in batchs use an old extension, until nothing is left. it did take a while though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

It's not just that. The comment history doesn't go back further than 1000 posts. They are still there when you find an old or saved thread somehow. But the power delete suite uses the comment history and will miss a lot of older comments from a simpler time.

Kinda nice to get banned though. I was banned from xitter for liking a comment critical of the muskman, it really helped reinforce that I needed to be done with that place though. Maybe I'll move on from Reddit before that happens...

Now create another account and repeat the same steps until they ban your IP

[–] Kyrgizion 5 points 20 hours ago

You get an achievement for that? Cuz I'm eligible.

[–] Gingerlegs 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My account was 11 years old when I left. Destroyed all my data, thank you very much

[–] ajikeshi 2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

the data is not destroyed, it is only you that doesn't have access anymore... i am sure you can still buy the data from reddit

[–] Rhynoplaz 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Once you're banned, do your previous posts and comments get deleted? Or do you just lose access to them?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago (2 children)

You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I'll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can't respond

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

Don't be distressed about it, dad. You're here now. You're safe.

[–] Rhynoplaz 3 points 1 day ago

Thanks for clarifying!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 23 hours ago

You just lose access

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hey at least you got banned! I just keep getting network errors on mine which is clearly shadow banned since logging in on any other account on the same device does work normally.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I have said some wild stuff and never been permabanned. What did you post?

And just think, you guys were the ones who didn't leave back when it was going down the shitter because you disagreed with the opinions of the people they were banning.

This isn't even exactly a haven for wrongthink either. /r/fatpeoplehate couldn't exist on Lemmy, so most people coming over aren't even really concerned with political opinions being silenced, so much as they care about their particular political opinion being silenced.

[–] FlexibleToast 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

It absolutely could exist. It's just likely that a lot of servers would defederate them. That's kind of the beauty of federation.

You just gave me bingo on my fediverse bingo card!
