This is why I tell people to dump pitchers of water on Reddit employees if you meet one at a bar in Frisco. Also rub shit on the HQ front doors handle. Make them extra pissed off.
And nothing of value was lost
I canceled my reddit pro, or reddit+ account, whatever the f*ck it is called, and the ads, the ads.... Ads that look like posts, or comments. It's almost making me 100% Lemmy too.
Oh, you can get banned here. It's not like this is like a place of free speech. It's just that the internet is kind of created little pockets of echo chambers. It is what it is. And like it was always going to be like that anyways. I just like it that it's not monetized by corporations that are bombing the shit out of children.
We should have all stayed on Usenet. It's decentralized and uncensored.
The idea behind lemmy (and every other decentralized platform) is not that you can't get banned. The idea is that f the mods of one instance decde to go crazy, are bought by malicious people, or if there is an hostile takover (like what happened to freenode), then the network isn't compromized, and ideally there are plenty of other instances with a moderation policy you agree with and where you can recreate an account
Lately I'm seeing a lot of this on old accounts
I had a few alt accounts from a decade ago that I'd sometimes used to get something from that site but over the past year the all got banned for no reason because I literally didn't even post with them.
Im guessing that Reddit wants to get rid of those older users that still remember how great it was
Yep, 11+ year Reddit user and I had never received a single ban save a few of those pre-emptive ones from overly zealous subreddits I'd never even interacted with. Then in the last 6 weeks I received escalating bans of 3 days, then 7, and just yesterday finally a permaban, without much change in my rhetoric. I've always been very hostile to fascists and conservatives on my account, and for 99% of my Reddit history that never got flagged at all. So fuck em, I'm not going to try and get back on, the Reddit of today is not the one I enjoyed using back in the 2010s.
What did you do?
Not op but I got perma banned for fighting with people who were defending massive pedophile Dr disrespect. They were arguing that "it was legal that means it's okay". I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16. Legally he could fuck a 16 year old. However that doesn't change the fact that he's a pedophile scumbag regardless of legality.
I was then banned for "child sexual content" :)
Well the sentence that initially got me a three day ban was "Hitler did nothing wrong" which I'm aware doesn't look good on paper but it was a quote and not my own words. According to Reddit the decision was automated so I appealed what I thought was an honest mistake and that's when they probably saw my recent posts promoting Lemmy and talking about Palestine and decided to ban me permanently. That or they didn't like that I filed an appeal. I haven't used Reddit nearly as much since getting on Lemmy anyway so this is more funny than annoying but still a weird way to go.
Having gone cold turkey and just left, it's weird no matter how you leave. Realizing how addicted I was, was kind of hard for my psyche.
It's next to impossible to go back anyways, people are getting banned eventually. I've been seeing reports of people's 5+years acc getting shadow banned for very little reason it doesn't make sense. A comment removal, low karma, cqs scores, age is enough to trigger a full site wide shadowban. I've been hearing also temp bans turned into permanent almost as fast the temp ban ends
Spez loves Elon. Wouldn't surprise me if he was bending the knee to try and get Elon to buy Reddit.
