Speedrunning a permaban on my 15 year old account. How many days do you think it will take?
Banning accounts from just upvoting is insane.

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.

They ban u for upvoting? Not even commenting, but literally just upvoting?
That's why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.
My 12 year old account got permanently suspended after an alt got a ban from r/entertainment for disagreeing with someone. Neither of us warranted a ban. Since I couldn’t block the sub from the news feed I accidentally commented again in the sub with my banned account not realizing the sub I was in. Then I commented with my main and got permanently banned. I appealed but didn’t get a response. This all happened over the course of a month or so and left an awful taste in my mouth.

I don’t know if you saw this article, but it’s a fascinating and infuriating read, it’s about all of the Luigi censorship and the upvote policing. It’s scary as hell. Check it out
It talks about terrorist propaganda. I know a little bit about extremist groups use of social media... the tldr is social media is riddled with it. If they're saying that's the motivation then they are using that as an excuse. It's ALWAYS been on reddit p, it's nothing but a cover story.
That's what they said!
I thought that Comedy was legal again?
So much for free speech!
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
Only comedy revolving around punching down is legal. Joke around about punching up... that's illegal now.
Illegal! Just like Elon's immigration status when he and his brother overstayed their visa!
Also Epstein set up his brother on a date!
Bazinga!
I recommend u guys try Lemmy. I feel like Reddit is reaching its EOL
How do i join lemmy
Lemmy.com
I've never heard of this platform! Where can I sign up?
It doesn't really exist mate, it's a joke post
It only exists in a copium feverdream.
I deleted my 11 year old Reddit account a couple days ago after being banned for quoting The Sopranos. On r/movies. As a response to another Sopranos quote.
For most of those 11 years I had no problems then just in the last month I was banned sitewide twice (for threatening behavior, I was venting about fascists and used violent rhetoric I guess, mind you this was on a repost of that famous video of a Nazi getting punched), given this same warning you got about upvoting things they didn’t like, permabanned from r/movies (again for the same quote), I just reached my limit. Reddit was great for me for a long time but I am better off without it. I was on it too much anyways!
One of my buddies was recently complaining about "free speech" on Reddit.
Told him it's a company and not the government, so free speech doesn't count there. He hated that.
Told him if he didn't like it to use Bluesky...he's a staunch conservative...lol
hey so i started looking at a new place because I'm tired of reddit and the people on it.... My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn't even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy's back is turned on your icon you're in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren't showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don't know if this is related to luigi but it's some weird nonsense.
You sir or ma'am were shadowbanned. They want your views, not your voice. Basically you are ad revenue to them, if they ban you they lose that sweet juicy $.02 from their advertiser. They want two cents from their advertiser, just not from you.
exactly. i always thought shadowbanning was a thing people just said when mad until i noticed that on reddit.
Darn. I guess this means me making a Reddit account to confess that Luigi was my first videogame character crush ever is out of the question.
so would this work if I made a comment then edited it?
I'm thinking it would be fucking hilarious to go on conservative and get them to upvote it only to edit it to say something like, "Luigi is a hero!", then they just start banning all the bots and conservatives.
HELL YES COMRADE, FIGHT THE POWER
fr though, this is such a badass way to get banned. don't even reply to them - just keep doing the thing, post, and watch as every pathetic attempt at intimidation gets hundreds of defiant upvotes here.
Uh yea I'm actually approaching the amount of Reddit karma on Lemmy in my first week LOL. Guess I know where all the good commenters went now.
Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can't even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?
Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to?
Not even really cowardice when you consider how bare bones their staff is. Even if they gave a shit about users, real monetization costs money and Reddit hates spending.
Reddit hates spending money
Reddit hates people using it. "Look at these bandwidth costs!"
They keep making their site worse and getting more pissed off as people continue to use it lol
Dude one of my guilty pleasures on Reddit was r/fightporn. You’re telling me people are getting this kind of warning while the site also hosts a sub dedicated to real street fights? Fuck outta here
most tech should be considered state media at this point. during covid i said something about omicron being more transmissible than the original variant even in vaccinated people (true statement) - perma banned with no warning. now if you don't immediately condemn "hate" towards nazis you are also banned/warned lol
Please read the rules again so that you don't break them.
I tattooed their rules to my chest and I still got warned.
Please let them implode.
I want Lemmy to have niche content. I'm tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.

Be sure to delete your old content. They did the warning: 3 day suspension:perma-ban combo on me (all in one day), so I couldn't delete mine.
Took less than 1 for me, but it was only a 10 year old account
Man isn't even convicted yet and his name is taboo.
The rich are scared. Good. They should be.

I overwrote all my comments with the following today :
Leopard Urinating In Geocached Inventory
I'm not petty at all 😅
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, reading content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, thinking about breaking the law is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, protesting human rights violations is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, being an unapproved minority is also considered a violation."
"While you didn't post the rule-breaking content, not drinking enough verification cans is also considered a violation."
They're scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.

Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.
Less voicing of views, period. Reddit doesn't want user interaction. Only views. The bots generate the content while the users are there to generate ad revenue.
