Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Let everyone have their own content.

so reddit just added shadow-banning to its arsenal of tools that hurt users and do absolutely nothing for moderators.
just in case anyone was wondering why i'm here now..
I'm here because I was perma-banned for no reason 🤔 then the whole ban evasion policy. Forget that site
digg is gonna relaunch soon and kill it. it'll become like facebook. pure poetic justice. i was on reddit back in 2008. it isn't even fair now to say it's just a shell of what it used to be. btw old.lemmy.world is a thing i like. and it (kinda) works with RES, too!
Are they seriously relaunching digg??? lol that’s funny. They relaunched my space and a bunch of zoomers showed up iirc. Maybe what’s old is new again. Next they should do geocities.
it won't be any better - i just hope it kills this "news amagomaltherahjhagal" bullshit (edit+) when everyone figures out it's all ad-bait bullshit that's ruining out lives.
Neocities.org is basically geocities lol
I just signed up to the mailing list. Reddit has become a cesspool of idiots and power tripping mods.
i think they want to be 9gag. remember that site? me neither.
Nah they just want to get those sweet sweet clicks from Cheezberger.... How does a site survive by just cutting and pasting another site???
Oh that's just all of the internet now.
reddit will die when digg comes back as worse than reddit. all ill rejoice. all will suffer.
Funnyjunk still going? i used to be a funnyjunker and 9gag hater
doesn't it feel weird to pine for THOSE old days?
i live in a small developing country and if i comment or post anything at all my account will be banned instantly.
appealing does nothing. it's just an empty hole you can send messages into.
Wow that’s crazy. So is your entire country region IP blocked?
we basically have one state-owned service provider which leases out infrastructure to the smaller service providers. I think if you started to blacklist problematic traffic by ASN you would include huge swaths of residential IPs, cellphones, everything. I don't know what the pattern is that they are using to blacklist.
I had the same thing. I received a temp ban then I got several emails saying multiple accounts were permabanned
Yeah it's a ridiculous auto ban system. I had a couple of accounts that were ~8 years old? All banned. Made a new account with burner email and VPN. Banned.
I'm glad I've been using ReVanced and patched Reddit app for free premium. Otherwise it's absolutely garbage the app and the site.
It did pop me back on to Lemmy.
I'm going to mainly use lemmy now, but a reddit account is still useful. I like my local city subreddit.
My plan is to go to a public library to make an account and then slowly use it every time I go to the library.
Then use a browser that blocks fingerprinting and use a VPN. If that fails I'll give up.
Did they actually tell you you were banned, or did they just give you cryptic error messages and wait for you to figure it out?
It looked like an auto mod message that I was permanently banned for no reason and to go to the help page to find out more. Of course that was useless. I tried to appeal. They said no. I said f#@k spez and left.
To be honest I've had more meaningful engagement in this thread then in 8 years with that site.
They have been shadow banning since unidan days, it's just last month alone their shadow banning went out of control. Someone posted a statiscal data graph of the week in a different forum I was banned the shadowbanning was up like 500%, also include permabans. It seems reddit has been relying shadow banning so people will find it harder to evade them. Also their using AI to do most of not all of their banning. They were able to measure it because they had hundred or thousands of acc
I made a throwaway a few weeks ago and posted a comment promoting lemmy-- shadowbanned immediately
