1 day ban for quoting the former CEO of a Costco

30 day mute, write again and it's harassment.

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.
- 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?

Mods there can ban if they dont agree eith your sports team, that shit is going downhill

CEOs being CEOs... Violent as ever 🤣

I think it's justified in this case. Unless you want more expensive hot dogs.

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.

Moderated by AI for your ~~safety~~ compliance.

Nothing makes sense at reddit.

It was a bot that automatically banned you

So like 99% of the rest of Reddit
Oh, that makes it so much better…
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"
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.
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.
It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn't work and is seemingly also run by bots.
- end of the day these big tech companies need us in ways we don't need them

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
- I don't know the context but: Could have been "uigi" but could have also been "ynch".
- 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.
See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣
- Clearly. :P

"CEO" and "kill" going in the same sentence is ungood.

Doubleplusungood, even
- Oh no, not doubleplusnogood!

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

I got a warning for saying "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye" in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.

Lmao. And they say comedy is dead.

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.
- Your comments about "bulbheads" regarding the Xenomorph species is not appreciated.
You can tell that it's an aspen tree because of the way it is

People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.

Redditors are going to end up on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world

I generally surf Lemmy first for a while, and then scroll reddit because there is simply more content. I have been participating less and less on Reddit and trying to participate on Lemmy more. But for things like episode discussions for various TV shows, reddit is really the only game right now and I do like trading those.

Eventually reddit will most likely completely leave my rotation, because they are really trying to make it as shitty as possible.
We're coming here, but slowly. We each have our tipping point and for many who just scroll mindlessly it's not any worse than insta/tiktok/Facebook. The commenter crowd has largely moved over.
- That's a good point different people use it in different ways.

It's because they've given an LLM the ability to ban for "promoting or threatning violence", and it's terrible. It basically sees two "bad" words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like "unalive" and things like that.

Interestingly it doesn't work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don't get banned after quoting comments that get banned).

Won't somebody please think of the advertisers??

I can't be the only one thinking of a lot of Reddit's mods as Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill, can I?

I would bet $10,000 that you get a notification saying "we've reviewed your appeal and decided the ban will stay in place"

Unapologetic enshittification is how the second quarter of this century will begrudgingly be remembered.

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.

There are those who chose to control by "interpreting" the rules as needed. These people will use a different interpretation as needed to exert any control they can.

They're being right is less important than YOU'RE being wrong

Now try this: mass edit all of your comments to be that post and watch how quickly you get banned from every subreddit, no appeal.
