My 10 year account got banned for voicing criticism of the fascist State of Israel
What got you banned?
Not banned. Just productised.
- Can’t use the app of my choose. Must use Reddit app.
- Can’t have an anonymous account, must be tied to email.
- Can’t have a non-age verified account, must have your ID
All whilst selling data to AI training companies.
Fuck off!
No, I was targeted. I would say anything eventually and it would trigger a 24 hour ban near immediately. Then I’d appeal, win the appeal, come back to say one thing and BAM suspended within the hour.
I’m pretty sure I was on some list. My comments would get thousands of upvotes. I ran economy for a fucking minute (by way of being the first to respond to propaganda posts). Every time maga would attempt their bullshit I was there in a minute to respond to it. Then these suspensions kept happening, and eventually I started getting suspensions for months old posts immediately after an appeal went through.
I know it sounds crazy but I’m telling you, this was a targeted thing and I’m not the only one.
This was my experience as well. Definite targetting. Most of the bans coming after being critical of Capitalism. The Reddit incels and rightoids like to whinge that Reddit is anti-right wing and moderates those viewpoints into oblivion, but it’s just cognitive dissonance or gaslighting. You can do just about anything short of direct threats or doxxing on Reddit and be just fine, as long as you don’t question that which is unquestionable, i.e. Capitalism. Even inside some very socialist or left-leaning subreddits you see this.
Got banned twice recently. First time was for using kirk as a verb and the second time for pointing out the irony of israel working with nazi sympathizers to genocide muslims.
“Kirk’d” and “Sherminating” also resulted in my bans. Quoting John Brown was my third and final.
Who hasn’t been banned from a number of subs on reddit? It’s a fascist place.
I quit cold turkey after the API change. No one forced me to leave.
I got banned for visiting my mother. No really. I decided to log on from her house, and the anti-bot bot noticed I was using a different IP address and flagged me for being a bot. Did the little dance to confirm I’m a real person, which resulted in a permanent ban. Thanks Reddit!
Someone posted something like Trump should die. Not exactly those words but the gist. I replied no, he should stroke out and live, suffering in a body he can’t control.
Permaband.
Hi :)
For saying that if we wanted to know if Scaphism was real we could test it out on child molesters.
I got banned for posting a video published by the Al Qassam Brigades to r/combatfootage
I wasn’t banned, but I rolled over after 3rd party apps were taken away on the day they stopped working. I only use the app for it so taking that away made it pretty easy to stop and no i wasnt going to use their own because they forced my hand. Apps were limited on lemmy at that time and had to wait like 4 months before the one i used to use was released, but it was worth it.
Same. I was a Lurker+, reading a lot of content and discussion but only contributing and commenting to a few smaller / local subreddits.
Set up an RSS Feed for sports & my local subreddit (from old.reddit.com) and started using Lemmy in my browser. Now I use Boost. Haven’t logged back into reddit since.
It works for my wants.
I also use Boost. Love it and no need to look at any others IMO.
me too, thanks.
Reddit didn’t ban me, I banned them.
You… I like you!
After Reddit cut off api access to third-party apps, I left. Well, not right away, I did give RedReader a try for a month or so.
Basically the same for me. After they squashed the counter protests I decided “fuck them”.
20 year old account with probably 10k karma. Not much by today’s standards, but I gave it my best.
does karma mean anything? I got more from a single bad joke on a popular community
I always interpreted it as the number of people whose day I made slightly better. That’s a nice feeling.
on reddit, its apparently makes your account more reliable as an actual user, so you wont get banned very easily. that is the theory, and does hold true to a certain point. reddit does detect/notice organic karma gain, and the ones that farm karma. and some subs require a certain amount of karma to engage in.
Banned? No. Other way around. I banned reddit from my devices after the API fiasco.
there is a way, but its much more convoluted. different IP/device and browser is the usual method, as long as you are not repeating the same exact pattern as before. but why spend that money anyways, the only people that do are the ones using reddit to drive traffic to thier own sites/OF agency, of whom reddit is constantly playing cat and mouse in detecting them. i also have supsicion reddit preferentially dont ban aggresively against propaganda bots as much as the ones i mentioned above.
Banned for using a VPN for “ban evasion” but never had been banned before.
Appealed. No response.
I took that as a fuck off message.
reddit seems to have banned vpn use since early 2024.
