Before I gave up on reddit completely, I was getting lots of 429 errors. Although asking around, some were, some weren't. Still not sure they weren't targeting me - apparently I hit their radar and they ban my accounts whenever they figure out it's me (I just want to mod in my local subreddit, I've slowly disengaged from everything else). heh

Similar here except I went from a warning to a full ban the last two accounts. And for a little while there, when they banned one account, I got a half dozen bans on multis I'd created years ago for some stupid joke and hadn't used since I created them. heh.

They just really have decided they don't want the older users around, I guess.

I as well had people following me around, but also seeming influence agents overly familiar with me, talking down to me like they knew my personal details, which they should not have been able to know, but they might have because of Israel and corporate bullshit. Fuck Reddit. As I saw on a username here, better dead than reddit.

I guess I wasn’t bad enough to be on their radar.

You were a frickin' saint, because the things I did were either stupid (to call infractions) or really minor. lol.

Or you were lucky or I was unlucky. heh.

time limit on new accounts,

That's what finally has let me let reddit go - so many subreddits have a thing now where you have to have karma in threads that haven't hit /r/all yet before you can comment, and that takes time and effort when I just browse /r/all. heh.

Why do I need to go talk in places I’m not interested in talking, with people who I don’t care for,

Because Lemmy is slower!

hehe, kidding

the top 90% of comments arent the same reddit jokes

I am doing my part to change that, mind. (hopefully not really) :)

I agree with that, but I have noticed some topic areas have more hostility than others!

i did that too, spread out the accounts so one gets banned the others dont. eventually they caught up with people doing that.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 5 months ago (1 child)

same here, somehow they attribute your current bans that expired and they lifted as ban evasion, and then banned all counts that participated in a sub, they think you were banned it.

ALso its been reported they ban newly created accounts too, and old inactive accounts. i was on another forum how you need to go through a"ridiculous" process of warming up the account."

I'm on Windows and got a browser running under WSL and so far, that seems to have worked, along with me using the account extremely minimally. lol

If they have some reason to not like older users that would make sense with my experience. I had like 100,000 comment karma over the last ~13 years. Last month I posted something like "the only way he (trump) is leaving is if 100,000 people drag him out" and got immediately sitewide banned with no warning, appeal denied. That was about the harshest thing I ever posted, 99.99% of my comments and posts were neutral or positive and they could see that clearly from my comment history. I wasn't there to be mean.

That's about the level of thing that caused me a coupld of my bans, so sounds about right.

When corporations get involved things almost always get worse.

definitely. Going public helped the shareholders, not the users.

thier AI were looking any thing "pro-trump, anti-trump, anti-israel". also they dont bother fixing thier bot detection.

They target me for violations that are not violations, used to be I could get 3 months out of an account before a second violation, my last new one I got a violation within the first week for something that wasn't even close. This is like the us administration pressuring them. Betcha.

they banned me for violations on my "other accounts."

I don't have any other accounts.

you know when they give you that message, its thier AI just autobanning and just send an automatic message to your qaccount.

Also what likely happen as well, i found out in another forum, is they lump accounts together in a sub and banned them in bulk(and attribute all these account as similar, same users)

Unlike other countries we do not have any legal rights to fair enforcement of the rules, so they do not bother. What we do have, is the government telling them to fuck users that piss off them and their pals for other reasons. Israel obviously but others as well.

Silicon Valley is a rigged game, they are parasites,

well, it's a private platform; their sandbox, their rules. It would be nice if they could enforce them equitably, though.

What the fuck are you talking about? We should have rights to fair enforcement of rules in Social media, which should be regulated as utility.

parent

[–] TryingToBeGood@reddthat.com 1 point 5 months ago

Well, sure, but reddit (and FB, and Insta, and discord, and bluesky and mastadon and twitter and just about everything else out there, probably including Lemmy) are privately owned. Their sandboxes. Now, something like IRC or Usenet (which I still miss) is another matter.
