“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol
It was a bot that automatically banned you
There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for “promoting suicide” because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because “the king is not allowed to commit suicide”
So like 99% of the rest of Reddit
Oh, that makes it so much better…
Also a bot that will ignore the explanation and reject the request
That’s more of a script than a bot. Basically: if request, then reject.
Basically: if request, then reject.
Sounds like they were inspired by U.S. health insurance companies.
Bots are just fancy scripts
Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.
Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷
I call that the “responsibility Theater”. But Software fuckups are super common and the industry (and those adjacent to it) really mastered absolving themselves of all responsibily.
It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn’t work and is seemingly also run by bots.
The ban purges have revealed most people were getting auto banned by an Ai and auto rejected by the same thing. I almost all accounts banned like this, I felt like it was an experiment on their part
end of the day these big tech companies need us in ways we don’t need them
Yep. Reddit couldn’t possibly exist without slave labor.
Reddit permanently banned me for saying a person got “burned” when Trump did not pay the person. It was violent rhetoric, they said.
You know who didn’t use violent rhetoric? The scorpion, from the parable of the scorpion and the frog. Truly a paragon of common decency.
Leave Reddit.
How many people get banned for quoting Trump’s violent rhetoric?
I was banned 3 days for “hate speech” because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.
I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a “photo” of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because…really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.
I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn’t permitted to speak against this threat?
I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn’t even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.
I got a three day ban for saying that Deadpool would do something to Tim Gunn. Deadpool the fictional character and Tim Gunn, the very real fashion chair (at the time) of Parsons School of Design. I forget what, possibly kidnap him to protect him from something. IDK, whatever it was was impossible and not in any way inciting violence.
Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn’t go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I’ve had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I’ve been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.
I got a warning for saying a fictional Nazi “should be l****ed”
Not “luigied” literally I put the asterisks in and the bot still got it. They’re so paranoid and scared lol
Yeeep, that shit’s crazy. Why we ever let corporations control our means of interacting with each other online I’ll never know, but now it’s all going to shit as it was always meant to so they can squeeze even more money out of us. Fuck 'em.
I don’t know the context but: Could have been “uigi” but could have also been “ynch”.
Which is even more of an American pastime
Edit: bonus Soviet anti-lynching poster
Regrettable
Reddit loves Nazis.
See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣
Clearly. :P
I’m on another site where people have more than that.discussing about evading reddit bans
I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.
The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.
I don’t even know anymore.
Appealing too many temp bans (all unfounded) got me perma banned.
Corpo bootlickers, kicking all humans off their platform until they remaining are indistinguishable from the growing see of bots.
It’s clear they only want people just browsing and not logged in anymore. All for the advertisement money
I literally don’t know why I’m shadowbanned though, I didn’t do anything even adjacently controversial!
I guess I just talk like a bot? Not that they ban those, ha…
But yeah that’s what gets me, if there was some stated reason for a shadowban or permanent I’d be understanding, but zero feedback? Really?
Shadowbans are the cowards way of dealing with unwanted users — I understand why they do it, but it happens to way too many normal posters.
It’s okay for zapping low-effort bots, but there should always be a way for humans to deal with it…
I visited the shadowban subs, which lets you comment and apparently normal users are getting dusted for very little reason. If that sub is getting such a frequent postings, it’s a red flag.
Some people appealed for 6months before they got a response.
Fffffff, that’s even worse.
Honestly the niche subs I visit are either cesspools or “brain drained” now, and unfortunately not much critical mass is here on Lemmy… Seems most went to Twitter, Insta/Tiktok or maybe Discord.
Mods there can ban if they dont agree eith your sports team, that shit is going downhill
30 day mute, write again and it’s harassment.
Moderated by AI for your
safetycompliance.CEOs being CEOs… Violent as ever 🤣
I think it’s justified in this case. Unless you want more expensive hot dogs.
Yeah this man is the only good CEO
Nothing makes sense at reddit.
These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.
I just used it to tell them to get fucked.
Lol I did as well.
“ermm actually had you apologized I would have undone the ban”
fuck you
Most of the time, at least recently it’s all AI, mods aren’t even noticing it
deleted by creator
Doubleplusungood, even
Oh no, not doubleplusnogood!
Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.
My post got taken down for racism.
I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.
“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”
Told them to go fuck them selves.
Never got an answer.
I got a temporary ban once for racism - for a comment I made about a nonexistent race.
Bloody Cardys can’t be trusted.
Settle down Miles.
Good thing he died in a nuke in SGA episode
Fucking Flaxans, we don’t need their kind round here.
I just got permanently banned from Reddit at the end of a 2 day ban. I haven’t even posted or commented anything yet. Reddit is dead.
I have been hearing people were getting perms banned as soon as their temp bans were lifted.
