Reddit Was Fun

Fascists. You have a home here. Stay beautiful, love.

i learned to not mess with r/pics in criticizing politically, i got banned a while ago, i just report the heavily biased pics that are super-political. during election year, i was reporting gaza pics that were target specifically at one party of the other, the OP always have to give thier opinions.

I got a "permaban" about 3 years ago. Last month I was unbanned with no notification. Apparently you can just wait?

One could also ask themselves: what appeal is there in being on a website that randomly bans you for breathing the wrong way?

I personally was beyond tired of having to walk on eggshells constantly, and while that will always be part of the nature of being online no matter who you are, it does get to a point on some platforms where you're afraid of even posting anything of looking at a thread because it can get you banned by some anti-social loser whose mod status is the only place in their life where they have power. Its just tiring.

If these platforms want to play that game, let them. They can have fun becoming a social media platform entirely filled with bots after all the real people have gotten tired of their bs.

Your mistake wasn't making the comment, it was that it caught the eye of an admin's alt. It's why r/worldnews goes to shit anytime anything Israel related is ever mentioned, and it's such a sticking point for the admins that they basically had to throw away everything they had built up with the worldnews Q&A and interviews. They even used to pass off admin actions as that of the mods until eventually after getting enough backlash they just promoted the karmawhore mods willing to be loyal to them and forced the rest to leave.

They don't want users or subscribers anymore, they want a product. They don't give a shit how many years you were a member, and they secretly hope you do end up registering with an alt. It's basically a stick to implicitly train you to avoid those topics if you want to continue participating.

If you want to go back to reddit, your best bet is to run on a VM with a different yet standard resolution and to try to mask all the data your browser leaks about you (why there isn't a browser that already does this is ridiculous). Different timezone, location, etc. Tracking doesn't matter as long as you don't use it with your main account. Cycle your IP, which is usually simply turning off your ISP router for a while then turning it back on again, don't really need a VPN unless they want to start banning whole geographical locations. If everything works out, congratulations, you have become yet another organic user reddit has turned into being indistinguishable from fake bot users.

Just keep making accounts and talking shit about Is Not Real

Reddit, busy working hard on becoming as shitty as it can be. Full of idiots and the ignorant.

How do I handle it? I just moved on from that shithole. Honestly they did me a favor.

That's how I got permabanned but I did it intentionally because I was sick of their shit and didn't want to have the option to come back.

Honest question, is there anything to stop the same thing from happening on Lemmy if the admins of your instance don't like you?

Exact same thing happened to me. I think it was the narwhal app that did it. I was temp banned for making fun of Kevin Durant. Not joking. Automod is hilarious. Anyhow a day later permabanned after 15 years. Mods won’t undo it and denied my appeal. I had an alt that I hadn’t switched over to in a long long time that was subbed to some subs my main isn’t subbed to because I want to keep their activities separate. I wonder if literally just the existence of an alt is triggering some stupid new AI Moderation avoidance tool. Fuck Reddit.
