Reddit

If they auto-ban every account you make, you should set up an auto-dialer of account making so they ban every available username eventually. Then nobody can register, and you'll be a hero lol

It'll only get better, welcome!

I gave up on appeals. Website thinks my accounts were created after a site suspensions. I've never been suspended so i can only guess being on hotel wifi triggered it.

Hello: Mod logs
Goodbye: Niche communities…

Welcome

I'm very familiar with the situation. I was a Reddit user for 3 years. I have a pet project that turned into a small startup for me. I wrote about it in a suitable subreddit where people discussed startups. In the end, I got banned. It's unclear why. I tried creating new accounts several times, but I was banned almost immediately. I didn't receive any reasons for the ban via email. I just got fed up. I decided to look for another place to communicate because I was simply tired of it. I have already switched to Pixelfed, Mastodon, and now Lemmy. No more Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, no more algorithms. I'm happy!

Reddit is dead.

It's mostly bots now.

Maybe you were upvoting things that Reddit was finding against their ToS?

I saw something about them previously warning users for things that they had been upvoting.

And, a fair warning, your upvotes and downvotes on the fediverse/Lemmy are public even if it's not shown to you within the Lemmy interface itself.

its all censoring for corpos and instagram/tiktok like video posts anyway nowadays. this place here is so much less rage inducing (by design, the userbase and their behaviour is just a result of that in the end)

you know its done by an AI if you dont get the incident of the ban, like they usually tell you what triggered. Like ban evasion, they usually tell you your previous account did it.

in anycase like many of us, early this year a bunch of redditors was hit by a massive ban wave, multiple accounts each 5+years olds were all instantly banned with the "no-message". then the massive random shadowbans that have occured too.

i heard appeals can take months before an admin even reads it, i think most get ignored though.

Also if your not using an appealing the original account they tend to ignore the shadowbans/permabans of the new accounts. any new account creation after a shadowban, will instantly get shadowbanned, so dont bother.

they also keep a record of any of your old deleted accounts, if they participated any a sub that decides to ban you, so any new accounts even years old will be banned.

I quoted a sentence from a banned post (I like to hit people) and asked if OOP understands the difference between "hit" and "hit on" since there are many non native speakers online. Next day I was banned. No repeal. That's it. I am so fed up.

I've been permabanned on several occasions and just mess with my vpn with a new account and boom everything is fine.

Power tripping mods will just permaban willy nilly so I will reciprocate by fucking with them and teasing them about how I've been banned before and how they are absolutely powerless in the grand scale of things.

Had almost the exact same experience, although I never bothered to create a new account. Tried & tried to find an appeal process, as far as I can tell they don't have one. Still not sure why I was banned.

On the upside, I was looking for a reason to leave, and they gave it to me on a silver platter.

Same thing happened to me. Got shadow banned and didn't even do anything this time

I've been perma banned twice, I'm feeling cute though maybe I'll go for a third.

I was permabanned for “repeated violations on my other account”, despite me only having the one account. I have no idea wtf I did wrong, the automod refused my appeal and they haven’t responded to the email I sent requesting an explanation yet.

I was recently on public Wi-Fi somewhere, which is the only explanation I can think of.

EDIT: Oh, they just don’t check the email anymore and leave everything up to AIs. Great.

Welcome!

Same thing happened to me. I admit I'll rage post sometimes and sure I might deserve a subreddit ban here or there. But I've never done anything worthy of a site-wide ban. But the reddit admins act like dictators on a power trip. They LOVE to slap people with site-wide bans. For no good reason, and I don't understand it. The admins have turned the whole site toxic, and places like Lemmy are a direct response to their insane powertripping.

Right now it sucks. Reddit is still the most popular forum on the internet. I pray that someday it won't be.

on lemmy its much better. if we are banned its because of politics. thankfully i can still post on tech lemmies in other instances. it would be a shame if people could be banned from all the instances just because they disagree with the mods.
