I got permabanned by commenting on a spoilt kid. I said he deserves a smack.
That’s literally a violation of rule 1 of their content policy though.
Rule 1
Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and users that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.
I got banned years ago from r/funny because I was browsing on “new” (like I do here), responded to a post with a lame joke within minutes after it posted, then the powers that be decided the poster was a spammer, and banned me too. I asked them why they banned me, but got absolutely nothing in response. It turns out, though, that being banned from there made absolutely no difference to my Reddit experience.
Now that Reddit is a public company, and courting income from paid official subreddits, it’s only a matter of time before there is a huge class-action lawsuit over their uneven moderation policies. Especially if companies start steering a good portion of their customer interaction there. It is super unfair to be cut off from legitimate customer service because of a power-tripping mod in a totally different part of Reddit.
Besides, I hit on the best way to ensure I never get banned from Reddit: I don’t go there anymore.
Yep I lost my 7 year old account now am never using that shitshow again hopefully lemmy attracts a bigger audience I love discussing some video games tips and tricks and lemmy’s mobile interface is way way better than reddit’s
my acccunt was like 10 years old, with karma to match. i still got it, bu i havent logged in, because i am just furious about the whole banning thing for rules i didnt break. as soon as i get banned unjustly from feddit, i am out as well.
With all these stories of malicious or incompetent mods, it makes me wonder if Russian trolls managed to get a bunch of mod positions on Reddit and mod to frustrate and hurt or kill communities to further division. Because it sounds a bit beyond a power trip or normal incompetence.
Though it could be due to volume and lack of effective tools and mods just dealing with their queues with batch actions and ignoring a lot of messages.
I suppose there could also be some mods trying to kill it from the inside after deciding they didn’t want to die on the “set sub private” hill once the admins started taking subs back. Guerrilla modding.
Either way it’s a shitshow.
I can’t even call steam deck on windows dumb without getting SITE banned, SITE
I was banned a few times for saying something like that if some politician of some country consciously does a thing which costs Armenian lives, or, say, “recognizes territorial integrity of Azerbaijan”, they are fair game for Armenians. That technically they make a choice they have right to make, or that their country has some interests, etc are reasons, but not excuses.
I mean, people are responsible for the actions they take. It’s not extremism.
I was banned from Reddit for allegedly promoting “hate”.
Story: There was post about convicted criminals being send bacl to Afghanistan and that they were released there and are, in fact, not in prison. After a little discussion if that is good or bad i wrote that imho the cutural background CAN be a factor for not fitting well into western society. Backed by the fact that there are people considered criminals here in Germany but not in Afghanistan. I also wrote in a follow up comment that i don’t see any culture as better or worse baseline…only that there are some that CAN crash with western worldview.
That got me banned and my appeal, stating that i didn’t sold my opinion as a fact is being ignored.
The really sad thing is that i made the mistake of engaging a political topic online and it seems that mistake is iredeemable in the eyes of some faceless Reddit mod. I srsly liked it there for my interests in the other communities.
So now i found Lemmy.World and hope to can engage in the same stuff as there…except for the hot topics of politics…
