Reddit

The reporting function doesn't work, just like the appeals don't work. Reddit is trying to get rid of anyone who provides content, but not to their standard. Permabans are the easiest way to discourage us from coming back. Banning your IP and MAC address takes it a step further and is another reason why many people are confused and frustrated.

Honestly, being permabanned is the best thing for me. I hated reddit, but it was the only option i had known of. They constantly push ad's onto you and those stupid "He gets us" jesus propaganda ad's.

I got permabanned for questioning the presidents health, you are not allowed to question their king.

Been there dude. I have tried reports on reddit for horrible comments... they never got removed.

then noticed my comments were removed/reported/banned for the same reasons even though my comments had nothing to do with racism/sexism/phobia, etc.

Some psycho troll targeted you and reddit took their side because that's what reddit does.

Don't be shy with the details. Which subs were involved, and which user.

Yeah, it's generally better in here in that respect. Transphobia is massively downvoted and commonly banned as well.

There are quite a few trans communities here, too, if you belong to the group and seek a friendly environment.

I tried making another account and was instantly banned.

Reddit does not like ban evasion, and they have the means to check.

The accounts of other people in my household have also been permanently banned, which is the most confusing part of all of it.

So an IP ban more or less, and that is more draconian than I remember.

Glad you saw the darkness and turn toward the light though!

Here it's Russia-China-loving Marxist Leninists you gotta watch out for ;-;

It's better here. About a third of the accounts are LGBTQties. Check out https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/ for all your trans related needs. Welcome to the nicer part of the internet.

No good deed goes unpunished on Reddit.

I caught a temp ban for something similar, and decided to never return.

They accused me of "abusing the report button" for reporting a post that was advocating violence to advance the political agenda of a far right, ethno-nationalist, religious fundamentalist ideology.

Reddit admins are terrorist sympathizers when it advances the class interests of the site's owners.

A valuable person has joined the fediverse yay 🥳

You got ip banned. Consider that Reddit is owned by Corpo Nazi simps and main admins are Evan Nazis themselves, that should clear up the confusion

Reddit isn't close to free speech in any way. Far-right admins and owners disrupt anything but the most bland discourse, and ban people for stupid, and silly reasons.

Social media comes and goes, and reddit is fucking GONE. It became a stock traded corporation, and instantly lost all credibility. It's just another billionaire owned media at this point.

You might as well post on full nazi x.com, then wonder why you get banned when you speak out for LGBTQ rights.

Yeah, this is better. Not perfect, but better than bluesky for the same reasons.

I don't want you to commit suicide. I want you to be happy, educated, and productive without nazis or religious jerks bothering you for any reason.

Reddit is a tool of fascist states now, when they went public the pivoted from a user based buisness model to a government surveillance and propaganda based buisness model.

Can someone (privately if need be) tell me what the slur is? I'm losing my mind coming up with rhyming words for that that have historical offense and I'm coming up short (and I'm american, so the word may not even culturally exist here)

Would you mind linking your old account or some old comments? I'd love to have something substantive to show off to people who don't believe how fascist Reddit is these days

I got banned a couple years ago for the same thing.

Moderators can report reports as ‘abusive’, and Reddit basically accepts their word without bothering to actually check anything.

Naturally, certain groups have been exploiting the fuck out of this situation to silence opposing viewpoints.

You could appeal the ban, but most likely Reddit won’t read it and you’ll get an automated response.

As for the repeat ban, you’re running into Reddit’s ban evasion features. They use IP address and browser fingerprinting to track you, even when logged out. Easily defeated, with a little effort - assuming you want to.

I was banned for calling out antisemitism a half year ago. They've been on this bs for a while now. And you were told right. It is considerably better here imo. Still many of the same issues, but moderation is definitely less gross and frustrating, and the people are generally more interesting and interested. Much smaller crowd, though, obviously. Welcome!

Both of my accounts got smacked with the permbanhammer unreasonably harshly especially considering the "offense" being that I said Neo-Nazis should be named and shamed.

Reddit admins are Nazi sympathizers and the entire platform is rotten.

while that's maybe the worst example I've seen, that checks out for reddit. thanks for reaffirming my decision to not try to go back

Congrats on the IP ban, those are usually reserved for serious offenders. Take it as a badge of honor, honestly.
