I was permabanned without explanation and reinstated two weeks later, again without comment.

I believe this tracks with what to expect should we ever see the tech-bro billionaires divide the world into monarchy fiefdoms ocer which rhey are each the unchallenged lord and master.

A shadowban was triggered by a simple comment removal and a completely new browsers, reddit wants all your browser info, they dislike if your using a browser fork too, besides only chrome or main ff

This is why I tell people to dump pitchers of water on Reddit employees if you meet one at a bar in Frisco. Also rub shit on the HQ front doors handle. Make them extra pissed off.

Feel that pain this year would have been my 10th year on Reddit. I was permanently banned last June for saying I hope the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. It’s still blows I can’t post or comment on anything. I was part of a close nit group on Reddit involving a car subreddit and now it sucks to see people commenting on where I am and what happened.

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Make a new account and tell them.

[–] Cocopanda@futurology.today 4 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

They track Machine ID and IP. They just auto ban any new accounts.

[–] LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee 7 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Try using VPN and different browser or delete local reddit data. Not sure if reddit allows VPNs anymore for account creation though.

I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right "flair" or some other stupid shit.

[–] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 6 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Posting in r/showerthoughts was impossible.

Questions about dark matter removed from r/space

Lots more like that.

[–] gerowen@lemmy.world 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Showerthoughts was one I tried. I don't remember specifics but I tried a couple times to post actual thoughts I had in the shower and they got insta-banned by a bot so I just gave up.

Don't miss Reddit. I got my 10 year account permanently banned for making a complaint about a mod who temp banned me for no perceivable reason.

Eat a sack of damp turds Reddit.

[–] andybytes@programming.dev 9 points 21 hours ago (8 children)

Oh, you can get banned here. It's not like this is like a place of free speech. It's just that the internet is kind of created little pockets of echo chambers. It is what it is. And like it was always going to be like that anyways. I just like it that it's not monetized by corporations that are bombing the shit out of children.

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

But if any one instance pulls reddit stuff ppl will notice and can leave without losing the whole site and infrastructure

[–] britaliope@kourjetez.bzh 6 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The idea behind lemmy (and every other decentralized platform) is not that you can't get banned. The idea is that f the mods of one instance decde to go crazy, are bought by malicious people, or if there is an hostile takover (like what happened to freenode), then the network isn't compromized, and ideally there are plenty of other instances with a moderation policy you agree with and where you can recreate an account

[–] pulido 2 points 14 hours ago

lemmy.world mods have already shown they're not interested in moderating fairly.

I jumped ship from that awful instance when they decided to block piracy communities.

Would love to see them fade into obscurity.

Similar happened to me. You cannot say there is genocide going in Palestine. If u say that are temp banned for a day, then 3 day then permanently banned.

[–] MajesticElevator@lemmy.zip 6 points 21 hours ago (5 children)

There will still be an amount of censorship on lemmy, it might just be on the opposite opinion of yours, so you won’t notice it. I’m pretty sure we’re slowly turning into an echo chamber as well

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 5 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (3 children)

Absolutely! Especially ~~communities~~ instances like lemmy.ml. I just got banned for criticizing certain aspects of Communism. No alternate opinions are allowed apparently...

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

That's a Lemmy feature. Hexbear and ML run how they want, world runs how they want. If you're pissing someone off some place enough to get banned, it's probably not the best place for you and best to leave them to their echo chamber. If you go wild, you can stand up your own instance and ban any instances you don't like.

If someone wants to make a safe-space echo-chamber, they can totally do it.

that's why if you disagree with censorship/moderation policy of an instance, you can move to another one. You can't do that on reddit.
