I have been permanently banned for staying on topic!?
I have been permanently banned for staying on topic!?
I was promoting Lemmy in the place that I was supposed to.
Here is the offending comment:
It did not violate any community rules. Reddit doesn't make any sense.
Update: they have reversed the ban because rule 9 did not show up on old reddit. Despite the fact the 9 rules show up on new reddit and mobile.
Reddit makes perfect sense: having you there is no longer profitable.
Fuck them to be honest..
Considering the sub in question is /r/redditalternatives, you posted this in a thread about alternative communities on lemmy, and there's a reply to your comment which promotes more lemmy (and mbin) instances that isn't removed... I really really doubt the reason for the ban was you mentioning Lemmy. That would be very inconsistent of the mods, and actually suggest a vendetta against you personally rather than lemmy.
Did you reply to the message asking what rule you broke? Like the ban message instructs you to? Might have also been an accidential ban.

Sadly, sidebar rules on Old Reddit aren't real and so can't be relied upon. There are in fact more than just four rules. There's nine of them.
That said, even with the expanded list of rules I can't find any that might apply. Unless their automoderator is so heavily sensitive to non-civility that the very word "cuss" is seen as bad language. Which I very much doubt. It does mention that linking to websites containing malware leads to an immediate permaban, but I doubt that's the case here?
I got permanently banned on both my accounts from the entire site for "violating reddit TOS".
When I submitted my appeal asking what I was banned for they immediately responded saying that my appeal was denied, but still never told me what rule I apparently broke.
10+ year old account with hundreds of thousands of post and comment karma. I was top commenter on several large subs. I had helped tons of people with things over the years in DMs. All gone in an instant because one admin decided to go on a little power trip. And there is of course zero recourse as the user. You're just gone.
Reddit has been a shit hole for a long time now.
Is that subreddit just kept around as a honeypot?
Certainly has the vibes of something like when they finally caught the pirate bay guy and then the FBI or whoever it was kept the site up just to track users who didn't get the memo that it was compromised.
Reminds me of Something Awful's lolocaust
I can’t think of a better reason
Gotta ban you before you delete your comments
I’m surprised they even allow such a subreddit to exist
Honey pot?
Welcome to the club
I politely asked a mod about a subreddit rule and got a sitewide banhammer for harassing a mod
I appealed a few weeks ago and they never responded
Their system won't let me send another appeal because it says I've already sent one
I had been on reddit for over 10 years, the whole thing is absolutely wild to me
I was livid until I found Lemmy, I much prefer this over reddit. It feels like old reddit and I even got my 3rd party app back!
Has anyone tried promoting alternatives via images? Obviously mods can still see them and hand out bans, but bots can't automatically detect them if they're deep fried enough.
There is one on !growthefediverse@slrpnk.net
Huh, pretty sure the mods do this on purpose. I mass edited every single comment of my account (roughly 6 years of shitposting) into a promotion for Lemmy.
Just checked it out. Nothing happened. Accept one mod from 40kLore who saw it, banned me and asked me to dm him if I’m not a bot.
Whats a “reddit”?
The site this community is about. 🤔
Ohhhhhhh oh right. That's the Elmo Musk one?
Probably just a bug. /s
Getting suspended or banned for almost saying nothing is not new on reddit.
Anyone with an account have a view of the mod list? How many mods were added in the last year?
Do they still hand out temp bans for upvoting spicy leftwing content?
Reddit admins/mods are garbage
