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)

News and Discussions about Reddit
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:
Rules
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.

MODERATORS
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.
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'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.
What do you mean by mess with your VPN?
probably changing the ip locaiton, reddit will shadowban if you use VPN, or if your IP address changes quickly to somewhere far away in a short amount of time.
ive heard in another forum that people using paid proxies, had this problem, thier proxies changed ip address suddenly, or for example from somewhere like the usa, to europe, or across the country will trigger reddit filters.
They Shadow ban people using VPN? I've seen vpns advertised on Reddit. How Bizarre.
yea, they made it a big deal early last year. on another forum, most people moved on to mobile proxies, which are harder to detect, but more expensive to use.
Same thing happened to me. Got shadow banned and didn't even do anything this time
you're not the only one, if you visited the r/shadowban people have reported the same thing.
The thing that really pisses me off was there was this person who was saying a 13 year old can consent to sex with a grown adult and that there was nothing wrong with it and they aren't shadow banned. I reported them and nothing happened to their account, but I'm banned probably becwus I called someone stupid or something. I loved reddit but I'm done with it
It'll only get better, welcome!
Hello: Mod logs
Goodbye: Niche communities…
Welcome
The only way to get niche communities is to attract the more people to populate them
Modlog in of itself is a content generation master piece 🤣
I want the ability to vote on modlog entries.
Can be frustrating for us though, especially when you give the wrong rule number lol
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.
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.
i think they slightly went back on that, but i noticed. any comment removal either by a sub filter, or by reddit is enough to trigger/flag your account, not even a sub ban. also if your IP suddenly changes to another locaiton, or a different browser they get suspicious. and VPNs are always result in a shadowban eventually.

I suppose anything is possible. Or maybe it's because I like pineapple on pizza, I wrote about that once too
Banned for having good taste. Right on brand for Reddit.
So my comments get removed because I don't think like some of the others on this thread. You don't see anything wrong w this?
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.
reddit upped thier filters recently, so the subreddit mods did the same as well, its pretty hard to justify commenting on it now. ive been on subs like LAMF, FACEPALm for a long time, suddenly some of my accounts can comment because of them claiming an increased in spam.
Welcome!
