I have been using Reddit for the last couple of years. It feels like it got worse ever since u/spez banned 3rd party clients which requires me to use revanced reddit now. Now the latest saga involves subreddits now banning you for participating in other subreddit they think are bad. This is just pure censorship at this point. And you want to know the best part Reddit has done NOTHING to stop this issue.
Now the latest saga involves subreddits now banning you for participating in other subreddit they think are bad.
This isn’t new, and a significant reason that I segmented my alts was so that I didn’t comment in “opposing” subs.
Welcome
They are arbitrarily nuking peops to replace with bots. My wife got banned for laughing at a ratty pic near a whole wheat wrap and saying yum. Reddit said it was inciting violence. 2 days ago there was an actual picture of a rat in a wrap and no one was nuked. I also was nuked a month or so ago.
and it doesnt even slow down any bots, the propaganda bots they arnt touching. plus the bots that people use to earn money, they are just barely keeping them at bay. instead they go after the non-bot users.
im in a forum where people are using hundreds to thousands of accounts at a time to evade bans.
what they are really doing is just want botting, and data to scrape for AI purposes, plus a read only site for advertisement exposure. they seem to already require some kind ID for nsfw for UK users, underaged. only matter of time before they resemble FB.
It’s the new 4chan. lmao
True. Reddit should be banned. It is promoting intolerance, hatred.
It’s been a thing for years, way before api shitshow
Yep joined lemmy around API controversy. It’s been like 2 years on lemmy for me. Loving it
deleted by creator
[…] please delete all of your participation in the subreddit in question (regardless of if it is positive or negative) […]
So it’s guilt by association.
i have the perfect solution, but it might be a tad extreme: don’t use reddit. BAM. there it is.
This also exists on Lemmy
I am outright abrasive and hostile to .ml mods for their tankie lies and .world mods for their Nazi bootlicking, and despite having many posts and comments removed I have not been banned from a single community as far as I can tell.
I’ve been banned from communities on completely different instances for things I’ve said that clearly personally offended some powermod or another.
but the amount of moderations and filters is much more oppressive on reddit. politics is usually the ones that get people banned on both platforms
At least on Lemmy it’s mostly one part of it, and honestly being banned from that part is probably a good thing
🤣
Nintendo fandom is feeling super defensive rn
So they have a bot check to see if you’ve posted in a sub they don’t like, which then auto-bans you if it finds you there.
The thought police are unpaid volunteers using bots now, I guess.
they also have something called crowd control , which limits the amount of traffic, or whoever is posting on the sub.
I used to be big contributor on reddit and it’s has been completely taken over by power users who are just shilling. Many subreddit mods are actually in bed with businesses and take straight up bribes or have their own conflicting interests.
reddit and large subs have all upped thier filters, so its actually harder to comment in subs that have high traffic. the niche subs are probably safe subs(the rule is if the sub has a sets of rule like the sidebar on lemmy, then you know its monitored heavily.
Yup if you take a look at new posts on any big sub reddit its either bots karma farming or influencers shilling. It’s just too hard for new people to onboard on sharing as:
- min karma or account requirement
- absurd 50 rules that trigger auto mod
- shadow banning so new users have 0 response and get demotivated instantly
So aside from smaller subreddits it’s just trolls and bots talking between each other.
I suspect a lot of mods are actually employed by those companies directly.
its called crossbanning, if the mods of a sub feels like another sub is too controversial they will premetively ban you, now with the new reddit filters, your at risk of getting sitewide banned.
famous one is participating j roegan sub, and you get banned from multiple subs, but j rogegan sub is only criticizing him, not fetishsizing his gop support.
The Nintendo community here is no better. I got banned for the same reason here on Lemmy.
not surprised. when lemmy got popular all the mods from Reddit created their little communities because power feels good.
which requires me to use revanced reddit now
Actually it doesn’t require you to do shit. You can just not use Reddit.
I used boost for a solid year and a half after the 3rd party app ban. Now I use Boost for Lemmy.
As a pedant myself, that’s some top notch pedantism.
cheers
Thanks, it’s why I’m here
That’s some good pedantry, cryptids. Bake em away, toys.
I like that you used the “bake em away, toys” callback on a thread with usernames of Watermelon Albert, Ramen Shaman, and Lousy Corn Muffin.
It sounds like y’all are preparing a potluck.
DON’T PUT MY TOYS IN THEY OVEN!!!
