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:
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.
I got banned from 10+ subreddits for replying to a comment on r/conservative.
Apparently these mods have a system which scrapes other unrelated subreddits and then ban any participants.
When I used to use Reddit I browsed by r/all and didn't take notice of the subreddit.
Every sub that banned me for participating in another sub was a sub I had literally never heard of until getting their automod messages telling me I'm banned, and had less than 100 subscribers so, lol.
Even funnier was they were likely seeing the 1 comment made on /r/conservative where they made a big announcement basically saying "this isn't an echo chamber. We don't know what to call it but it's like this [goes on to describe an echo chamber] " and I replied "so, an echo chamber?" Which of course was an instant ban to /r/conservative. And hilarious.
Welcome!
Welcome to Lemmy! Fair warning, a vocal part of the user base here is anti-Tesla.
It's not like there aren't vocal anti-Elon/Tesla/EV people on reddit. I wanted an EV and didn't consider any other vehicle because of the range and charging network. My car is almost 5 years old and we'll see what's out there in another 5-10 years.
Yeah, I saw that on Reddit too. It just seems like here there's a lot of people who jump on anyone for even wanting an EV here. A lot of folks think that bikes and public transportation are viable solutions for everyone's daily needs. It feels like a lot of people here think that since EVs aren't a perfect solution, that we shouldn't consider them at all.
I have an ebike too but that doesn't get me everywhere. EV works great for me. Almost 5 years old, over 90k miles and no complaints to speak of. Thanks for the heads up.
Notice that I got downvoted? That's exactly my point. Lol
I used to mod two pretty large subs (iirc something like a combined ~400k subscribers) and we had no way to detect ban evasion other than the user being stupid and obviously giving themselves away (eg. "fuck you mods, I'll just keep making new accounts"). This was fairly recently and I left the site and quit modding about a month after they pulled the API bullshit and booted Apollo and other apps.
So unless reddit added additional tools for mods, your story doesn't quite add up here.
I've never been a mod but I can assure you this happened twice in the past month. And yes, I used to post from alternate accounts on /r/sports all the time since my primary account was banned years ago.
Here is the email I received yesterday.
Ah yeah that’s not a mod action. That’s a Reddit site-wide thing on the admin side of things or some automated system they have. Subreddit mods had nothing to do with that.
Doesn't matter to me who does it, the site is unusable. Apparently some sub mods really don't like comments being redacted. Got a couple of other permabans today because of that. ;-)
