what is up with reddit

Who cares

all the cool kids went elsewhere

They ran the numbers and decided they don't need you. are you going to stick around there even when they treat you like shit? Take what you can from there, but it's not your "home".

"The trick is not to ignore the mainstream, but to selectively raid it for things we can use." -Mike Gunderloy

Remember virtually everyone here is because Reddit went Vader and folks couldn't stand up for it.

The only thing weirder than people still using reddit, is when they think other people give a shit about reddit...

Maybe try using a redlib instance if you need to check out reddit. Personally, I wouldn't sign in knowing I'm about to freely train that lifeless humming shell of a parasitic LLM incubator.

But i tried to post something and their systeem kept deleting my post. I didnt said anything wrong.

This place is a strong anti-Reddit echo chamber, it's not really the best place to ask about this.

Do you know if the post was removed by a moderator or Reddit themselves?

Iirc a post can look removed if automoderator marked it for a manual moderator review. This can happen for reasons like your account being too new, you not having enough karma, or you using certain keywords they want to manually review. It's usually meant to prevent spam, not anything nefarious.
I've seen someone before complain on Lemmy about this exact issue, and it turned out the post in question was clearly there on their profile because the mods approved it between them complaining here and me checking their Reddit profile.

It's also possible that your understanding of what's wrong to say might be wrong. This is especially the case if Reddit themselves removed your post. They don't just do that for no reason. Even when a post gets removed for mentioning Lemmy, that's overzealous mods doing the removal, not the admins.
It's also possible that your post might look innocuous to you, but not to another person. For example, there are certain numbers that when used can get you labeled a neo nazi. Expressions might get misunderstood. English being a second language for either side might lead to misleading language or misinterpretations. Basically just listing potential reasons here I can come up with for why an innocuous looking post might get removed without ill intent, not saying any of this is justified imo.

If the post was removed by a moderator, the answer to your final question is simple: people post to a different subreddit that mod isn't in control of.

Because they feel like they can with whoever's left on there as they'll just be replaced by bots anyways.

I never got a response from Reddit regarding my account unknown state, too - https://www.reddit.com/user/serious_angel

I'd been using that account for years, and I can use it, and I do now. I do comment, vote, save bookmarks etc.

I've tried contacting the official Reddit via Email, and their automation tells to write them using the website form. I tried that too, at least 8 times over 4 recent years - no response. Never.

After several attempts, I tried sending messages to moderators in general Communities like /r/Laravel or /r/AskReddit, and I received response from them only, in a built-in chat, but when I try responding back - Error. Their response was to contact the official support, obviously.

Meanwhile, the account is marked as "banned", if I am not mistaken, yet I never ever did anything to get banned in the first place I believe. I awarded other comments with money, purchased "NFT" avatars, so I contributed monetarily to the platform, too.
It just, all of a sudden, got "banned", and for literally unknown reason.

I realized that after years only, too! People don't even see my comments, and I had been commenting for at least a year before even realizing no one sees them! I accidentally noticed that when tried surfing to my account via "incognito mode", and since then I've been trying to figure out what is wrong - yet no response from the official Reddit support, after multiple attempts writing them...

So they basically cutting their own throat here. Good riddence to them. WELL. It's good that lemmy comes to the rescue ey?

How are people still being able to post anything on there?

They're not. You're seeing bots.

Myriads of Reddit bots going around these days removing stuff. Just message the mods and see, what they say. They may be able to approve your post. Else, just post on Lemmy.

I thought you were talking about the users. But basically because there is so many users and the expectation in post effort is much higher than other platforms they need to do a bunch of things to filter people. Its really not hard once you know but it feels impossible when you're new.

Reddit has much more users than can possibly be handled. Being a mod in one of those huge subreddits must be a nightmare, no wonder they rely more and more on bots. I wouldn't care either about a few mistakes if I had to deal with hundreds of daily posts with thousands of comments.

That modmail inbox must be the craziest thing.

I made a comment on a post and was permanently banned. it was my first and only comment.

my comment? "thanks, this is great."

it was on a post about a cover song someone did.

Reddit is fucked, the only thing it's good for now are bots and porn.

reddit was cool until obama did that ama and 100K people joined overnight and rich folk realized they could influence public opinion via the site. thanks obama.

That’s part of the reason I left. Moderation went insane. The slightest infraction got you permabanned from mainstream subs. Your post could be removed for amazingly technical reasons with no explanation at all for what rule you broke. The site just became impossible to use.
