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.

What do you guys think about the number of site wide bans by reddit? (lemmy.world)

Honestly most of the people who are banned are for silly reasons. At best, they can extend it to a few months but a site wide ip ban forever? Isn't that a stretch?

I'll tell you why I got banned - I have two accounts and I got banned from one subreddit for making a meta comment. I switched to my other account and commented unknowingly that it's not allowed. My comment didn't include any abuse, being mean, bullying or harassment. Next, a satire post was made on a sub and I gave a satirical reply (again no abuse etc) and it even receive 800+ up votes but guess what? I'm banned for identity related hate? It was a temp ban and I waited for it to get over. What I didn't realize was that sub 1 banned me permanently in this duration and I happened to comment there - again a harmless comment like "xyz walked out" and lo and behold i have a permanent ban now.

I feel the mods on reddit are on a power trip and are really going to be the reason for its doom.

I got a site-wide permaban almost 2 years ago for a joke in r/losercity that was taken the wrong way and I got dogpiled by virtue-signalling furries. I've appealed my ban almost 10 times now and they reject it every time.

I don't get it. They could have just given me a ban from the r/losercity subreddit instead. They didn't need to ban me from the entire site. I haven't caused any problems on other subs. I had over 30,000 karma on my account and it took me years to build it all up. I got along great with people in r/vtubers and r/votv and had a lot of fun there.

It's so bizarre that one f-up gets a sudden permaban from the entire site. All I can think of is that one of the left-wingers in losercity is in with the admins and they called in a favor. It has to be a nepotism thing.

I was banned for breaking an unwritten rule. Using slur words in any context is racism or homophobia.

I was permabanned for a metaphorical post. Two weeks short of 15 years. Oh well, I found Lemmy and haven't skiped a beat and it's WAAAAY nicer here. Like Reddit was before 2010. Fun, friendly and laid back.

Welcome to the party!

You are here because you are banned, I am here because I chose to quit Reddit. We are not the same.

I feel like half of lemmy probably has a ridiculous ban reason on reddit lol

[–] unicorninmaggieverse@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I wish lemmy gets popular and reddit dies suddenly

[–] klarodalisay@reddthat.com 2 points 1 day ago

Im' praying for that

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Totally. And given the way that YouTube is basically collapsing, handing itself over to unbridled AI sloppage, I'd also like to see an alternative to YouTube (like peertube) take over.

[–] lukaro@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I deserved my ban. I can't help but to tell magats what I think of them, because they should be made to feel how terrible their choice was at any and every opportunity!

doom

When? Reddit behaves this way because it can afford to. A thousand trolls here, a handful of influencers there, Reddit wouldn't notice if they're gone.

Idk I've noticed a lot of people complain that they got banned for silly reasons. Mine was silly too. Plus a site wide ban? That's ridiculous! Reddit going mainstream is its biggest curse. I've legit seen comments with death wish, threats and none of those are banned.
