Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.
If it’s like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂
then they reban people after thier increased number show healthy activity to thier investors, i just delete my accounts if they recieved to many sub bans, or a sitewide ban.
My account was 11 years old when I left. Destroyed all my data, thank you very much
the data is not destroyed, it is only you that doesn’t have access anymore… i am sure you can still buy the data from reddit
I have said some wild stuff and never been permabanned. What did you post?
It was what I upvoted not what I posted.
Okay I’ll bite - who is this?
u/spez, CEO of Reddit
AKA the greediest little pigboy who ever lived
That’s what he looks like? Somehow he’s the only tech conglomerate I couldn’t put a face to.
The Elon meat rider that’s trying to replace reddits user base with loyalists and bots.
And just think, you guys were the ones who didn’t leave back when it was going down the shitter because you disagreed with the opinions of the people they were banning.
This isn’t even exactly a haven for wrongthink either. /r/fatpeoplehate couldn’t exist on Lemmy, so most people coming over aren’t even really concerned with political opinions being silenced, so much as they care about their particular political opinion being silenced.
It absolutely could exist. It’s just likely that a lot of servers would defederate them. That’s kind of the beauty of federation.
Well there ya go. Turns out the fediverse isn’t about freedom from corporations - and it’s just about creating your own brand of filter bubble.
Tags are wonderful.
lol, You’re a special kind of butt-hurt aren’t you. Seeth.
How could they be butt hurt from you not understanding Lemmy and federation?
It really depends. World is friends with pretty much everyone with a few notable exceptions. There are definitely instances that care about that, but you can’t force an isolationist instance to communicate with you.
Freedom goes both ways. It also means freedom to form a bubble.
Turns out, those are sort of the same thing. You are given the power to shape your feed how you want it instead of how some corporation wants it.
Yes, but federation controls that on a wider level by adjusting what you’re allowed to see and interact with. Therefore, someone above you gets to control that still. That’s the point I’m making.
If everything federated by default, and users could sign up for filter lists or something to make it easy - sure. But that’s not how it works.
Lemmy even did the same thing Reddit is doing now, where if you mentioned a certain topic they were banning people; but they walked it back. I believe it was even the same topic of Luigi and “advocating violence”.
Therefore, someone above you gets to control that still.
There is nothing stopping you from running your own Lemmy instance and choosing to federate with whomever you choose.
Lemmy even did the same thing Reddit is doing now
Which Lemmy instance? If you don’t like it, just join a different one.
This is all the beauty of not only federation, but also open source.
You just gave me bingo on my fediverse bingo card!
You’re welcome?
Do not pass Go.
Do not collect $200.Reddit has turned into a complete shithole the past two years. The sooner it gets taken out back and bludgeoned to death, the better.
Personally, I don’t trust anyone who hasn’t been banned at least once from that place.
I went 13 years without being banned, even though I spent most of my time on there debating politics and religion which frequently got heated and had never even been temp-banned from a subreddit. Now I’ve been banned 4 times in the last year for total bullshit, 2 of which happened yesterday, so things have definitely gone downhill.
Honestly, I shouldn’t still be pissed about my ban but I can’t help it.
I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points
Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason
It’s been a couple of months and they still haven’t even bothered to respond to my appeal
Now that I see how reddit’s going down the tube, I don’t even care if they respond at this point
I’m done with it
Same here. No reason. No response. Fuck those guys. And fuck Spez.
I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.
Still trying appeals but not optimistic.
Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.
… Im so bitter.
Now I’m bitter for you too.
Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence… like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.
i got banned for reporting people for the same thing+ obvious misinformation that was slipping through the cracks. the Mods are part of the problem, because many of them are ok if the filters gets a random person wether the filter flags the acct as possible (ban evaders or not). Reddit additionally doesnt even give the mods why a user is getting flagged or banned, its completely arbitrary.
Yeah I mean I got permad back in the day for saying that omicron was transmitting even among vaccinated people (like 2 weeks before that was general knowledge on the news and stuff and “accepted” information) so I get that they just censor along with whatever the current government wants but damn. I’ll take political shitpost cesspit all day over everyone banned for everything censored platform
AI… And they’ll be the users too!
Like how twitter and YouTube comments are just bots talking to bots?
Yeah. …I could see it going that way.
Turns out, good actions have consequences too.
My account was 17 years old when I was banned without explanation.
Nice! All of my Reddit accounts got banned this week too! Including one that hadn’t even made a post in over 6 months!
mines got banned early last month because of a suspension, 5+ accts gone.
Once you’re banned, do your previous posts and comments get deleted? Or do you just lose access to them?
You can still browse and your comments still remain up. But you can no longer post or comment further. I’ll still get upvotes / replies to old comments. I just can’t respond
Thanks for clarifying!
Don’t be distressed about it, dad. You’re here now. You’re safe.
You just lose access
Hey at least you got banned! I just keep getting network errors on mine which is clearly shadow banned since logging in on any other account on the same device does work normally.
deleted by creator
When the account is banned is still possible to edit or delete own comments or posts?
Consider running that script that goes over each post or comment and replace it with random words, just to poison their ai training
When I tried that script in 2023 it didn’t work. Just go back and delete your best. If you can. Good luck.
Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.
I use this it doesn’t work. In the sense that, to you your post may seem gone. But Reddit can and will restore them.
I use this exact tool when I left Reddit. They restored my posts.
It’s not just that. The comment history doesn’t go back further than 1000 posts. They are still there when you find an old or saved thread somehow. But the power delete suite uses the comment history and will miss a lot of older comments from a simpler time.
i had to delete them in batchs use an old extension, until nothing is left. it did take a while though.
