Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.

Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it's surreal.

    It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.

    Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.

    Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.

    I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.

    I got a warning for upvoting a Luigi post (or a post that reddit deemed as "wrongthink"), the bot didn't say which sub or post that triggered it so it's kind of impossible to say for sure or even avoid getting banned from upvoting something they don't like.

    Honestly, I shouldn't still be pissed about my ban but I can't help it.

    I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points

    Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason

    It's been a couple of months and they still haven't even bothered to respond to my appeal

    Now that I see how reddit's going down the tube, I don't even care if they respond at this point

    I'm done with it

    Nice permanent ban!

    I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel's back.

    I got suspended for using the word "retard" in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.

    I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you've never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.

    for anyone that's never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem

    reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never

    and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don't like so elongated muskrats don't get thier feewings hurt

    I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.

    Still trying appeals but not optimistic.

    Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.

    .... Im so bitter.

    Now I'm bitter for you too.

    Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?

    Reddit has turned into a complete shithole the past two years. The sooner it gets taken out back and bludgeoned to death, the better.

    Personally, I don’t trust anyone who hasn’t been banned at least once from that place.

    Kinda nice to get banned though. I was banned from xitter for liking a comment critical of the muskman, it really helped reinforce that I needed to be done with that place though. Maybe I'll move on from Reddit before that happens...

    this is so reminiscent if the digg Exodus around the aacs key. bans pushed us to reddit, and at a higher rate than those being banned. Lemmy mau is up over 10%. idk if the bleeding can be stopped.

    uninvolved users will stay with it. digg had 2 or 3 major redesigns before I stopped hearing about it completely. it became little more than yahoo! news.

    I'm sure that is the fate of reddit now.

    I left Digg during that exodus and went to Reddit, and now here I am. Enshittification happens everywhere that capitalism finds an opportunity to put its dick in someone's ass, it'll probably happen here too if it gets popular.

    All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol

    Yup, they banned me for 7 days because saying Luigi didn't deserve to go to jail for what he did is apparently 'encouraging violence'. I appealed and it was lifted, but not before I got another message identical to yours. In my 14 years of reddit I have never had more than a single account, so I appealed that too. I'm not banned anymore but I got a message saying the second appeal was denied and the ban would stay in place. I think reddit is just falling over itself in its eagerness to frog-march to Der Fuhrer spez's new fashy bullshit.

    Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.

    Considering deleting my account as a statement but I’m kind of attached to the history which is why it’s kind of scary touching it at all at this point. All I’m using it for now is for a few crafting subreddits and some clothing based subreddits that don’t have equivalents on Lemmy yet. One I might be able to create myself. But we’re talking 5-10 of my most frequent hangouts. That seems like a bit much.

    I had a 15 yr old account with thousands of comments. After a 3 day ban for a dumb joke about Boeing Starliner (that became partially true BTW) I deleted my top comments and closed my account. It's better not constantly doing scrolling, but I haven't left social media completely obviously.

    Once you're banned, do your previous posts and comments get deleted? Or do you just lose access to them?

    If it's like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂
