New here! Fuck reddit.
New here! Fuck reddit.
So, I've now had a 9 year account and a 13 year account both permabanned.
They've linked them as the same user and banned me for a benign post on r/pics.
I lost all faith in reddit when they changed the api then Relay for reddit stopped working.
Base model app is shit.
Comments constantly erase and empty endpoint error.
Can't even say 'I like that player two energy on super Mario bros', because that's 'violent'.
I've posted tens of thousands of comments and only recently had issues.
Got banned for saying 'Elon simps in our midst' referring to mods....who proved my point.
And finally now, they are paywalling shit soon.
Adios.
Anyway, I left digg in the great exodus for reddit, now this looks like my new home.
Rant over lol.
You're viewing a single thread.
I lost about seven 12-year-old accounts all for telling off one piece of shit incel, quoting his slur so he couldn't edit, and reporting him. Mods banned me from a major subreddit for "using a slur" and didn't listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel and just quoted him so he couldn't change his comment. Mods acted like pubescent morons and called me names for politely asking for a review of the incident, I changed account to keep talking to people I knew there, got perma-banned for ban-evasion, they sniffed out my other accounts then and banned those too, then I made new accounts but got permanently shadowbanned for criticizing conservatives and reddit mods, made new accounts, those accounts also are now shadowbanned for who-knows-why.
But whatever their excuses are, the reality is clear. They don't want human users, this is why "shadowbans" are a thing, they want humans to feel like they're interacting, but in reality they want a billion bots talking to each other and simulating narratives and conversations so they can twist a few dials and change public opinion on whatever they want.
They're already doing it, it works. A large percentage of users there are already very convincing AI's.
They aren't hiding this, they announced that they would be letting AI's "use" reddit to train and learn. They never specified to what end or how many.
They can link your accounts, via the same IP and device, and yourbm browser data
didn’t listen to my appeal that I was the one fighting the incel
this sounds so lame dude
It's wild, I used to go to bat for Reddit mods, I WAS one for a large community for several years, I have sympathy for the people who work hard to keep public spaces organized without pay, the team I was modding with were good, reasonable adults who had nice, progressive values and fair moderation policies, facing a tireless wave of hate and obscenities and scams.
I learned pretty fast that was HIGHLY unique situation, and the majority of mods on reddit are embodiments of ALL the stereotypes. Smug, condescending, power-tripping teenage assholes who just enjoy waving their impotent magic wands around thinking the power to ban users makes them an actual authority. I cannot stand them, they are the most miserable people in existence.
And again, I say this as a former dedicated moderator.
Many of them are in cahoots with reddit admins.
You harassed one person with 7 different personal accounts? ESH
I think what they meant was that they lost all seven of their accounts because one of them got in an argument with an incel. Reddit can very easily link you to your alternate accounts
Don't be an idiot, it's less entertaining than how it plays out in your head.
