So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.
I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)
I never got banned but have left on my own accord. I hope Lemmy really picks up because it’s still pretty niche.
Reddit is like a casino now with the mini games, achievements, micro transactions, etc. it’s beyond annoying. If Apollo was still around I would use it but their proprietary app is dog water.
I am very much sorry to know that, heartfelt… and I hope you will find peace, dear @IAmUser1234567@lemmy.zip …
I do believe it’s impossible to get unbanned. Not only that, but they don’t even explain the reason, too…
For years, they don’t respond for my time-ivesting appeals requests, and I still have no idea why and when I got shadow-banned:
- https://lemmy.world/comment/21676673It might be their sorrowful automation system at the start of them trying “AI” and I got into a list by a mistake, yet no one ever cared or will care, I believe, because it’s Reddit - one of the most popular forum-like social marketed out there.
I’ve invested ~340 Euro into the account at Reddit giving awards mostly, and a few NFT avatars, and for what?
I lost hope in Reddit, and won’t consider their support or anything serious from that point, unfortunately…
Such a… sorrow… So much of human priceless precious finite life time… is…It’s really upsetting because I was in my mid teens when I first got into Reddit, and I definitely joined at one of it’s peaks - the second lockdown. Fuck me that was so much fun, that was the time I actually reached out and got mental health support for my ADHD, and connected to some really great online communities. One of them was the reddit adhd subreddit, but besides that I loved how interconnected the subreddit humour was, and how everyone seemed like they could just tune into the same vibe as you. I quickly lost track of the amount of incredibly balanced, well informed discussions, debates, casual conversations and joking I ended up getting into. I was going to a really shitty private school where I really just didn’t gel well with anyone, so I seriously loved all that online connection, it definitely did me a lot of good.
Ever since u/spez removed the community extensions and old awards, Reddit has seriously fallen off. I honestly think most of the OG users left when the blackout protests were forced to an end due to spez and other admins straight up booting mods that were collaborating in the lockdowns. Then the end of the yearly pixel art purely because people wrote “Fuck u/spez” was honestly the last straw that killed any chance of me ever potentially forgiving how badly he betrayed everyone and everything he built, all for corporate profits.
Fuck u/spez for destroying everything he built, fuck Reddit, fuck social media subscriptions, and fuck all of this corporate bullshit. Companies need to realise that there will always be alternatives that users will migrate to on the internet, and we should absolutely punish them loudly when they violate our fucking respect the way they’ve been doing so shamelessly lately. Lemmy is exactly the kind of experience that was purged from Reddit that I needed, and I’m glad that I’m now starting to spend more time here.
Same. I don’t think it was even a valid ban, but so far it’s better on this side
I gladly sacrificed my main account and a few rapid fire ones to say the following, eh-ehm:
“Elon Musk should be hanged and stripped of all wealth and people like Donald Trump and all complicit cronies should meet a worse fate. The fact that none of the Americants haven’t shot him yet is proof that the hegemony is over. Kill them all”
Welcome to lemmy
elon is behind the purges last year, and recently, he tells SPEZ that the posts about him need to stop, and right after when the purges began.
I got banned because I posted about executing the person who decided to make the 4 east-west streets between my westside house and eastside job under construction at the exact same time.
Hey, welcome!

How rude of Reddit!
11y account, 108k karma. Repetitively banned by their ai moderation. The latest, like many, overturned by a human, the content restored, and it immediately received a community award. But their ban automation fanned out and banned all my accounts. Because I was banned. Which was overturned. I’m banned for being banned by an ai, despite that ai being overruled. They will not respond to my appeal.
So anyways now I’m getting oriented on lemmy and will contribute here. Reddit can suck it. Their only value was human contribution from the community and they’re working hard to snuff that out.
Edit: s/reward/award
heard that story alot, people were banned after admin unbanned the account, but they dint reset the filters, likely its not possible. since the filters, AI mod, sub filters probably have a record of “this account checks all the lists of a previous banned accounts”.
because your other accounts wernt unbanned, it sees your unbanned account as ban evading, AI definitely cant tell the difference. i think reddit mostly ignores Karma AS A TRUStworthy account since spammers and bots can get those easily , they have other metrics for subs.
Tale as old as time
Song as old as rhyme
Fuck /u/spez
Reddit is shitting its pants and killing itself faster than the president.
reddit cozying up to being public, GOOGLE and OPENAI is killing it. the of the worst companies to partner with.
The joke of Reddit is that it’s been decimating its real human userbase while it gobbles up investor cash and sells out wholesale to AI data harvesters.
For whatever reason, the folks with all the money don’t seem to care that they’re throwing enormous sums into a labyrinth of bot-farms. Tens of billions of dollars being pissed away on the Ur-case for Empty Internet Theory.
I was banned too for my opinion on abortion. I didn’t insult no one and they said me I was banned for hate of speech
¯\(°_o)/¯
if its anti-abortion i think you will see alot of bans any platform. if its like something like pro-abortion, but someone or the filter misinterpret wrongly, then thats different.
What’s your opinion on abortion? If it’s a shitty one, would you consider leaving lemmy too? 😇
I still lurk on reddit but I figure with an adblocker on all I’m really doing is costing them bandwidth and lowering the revenue-per-user that they get to report to their investors. Plus r/conservative is the single best place I’ve found on the internet to keep track of the specific swirling toilet bowl known as right-wing ‘culture’
Reddit has become absolutely garbage in that respect. You can be banned for literally anything. They don’t even send you a message telling you why anymore. Appeals go into a black hole.
Reading all these banned stories makes me wish I’d gone out in a blaze of glory. Instead I just spoiled all my content and deleted my account.
13 year old account if I recall right.
Don’t worry, they do that here too. There is a clique of people with extremely fragile egos and worldviews that will have you mass reported if you don’t fall in line with their particular thought dogma.
tankies, some of the worlds. com, and dbzero apparently.
There he is everybody. Get him!
I imagine it’s less draconian over here and easier to appeal with better chances of that appeal being reviewed by actual humans. Reddit banned me too just because I logged into one of my throwaway accounts and forgot that I was temporarily banned from one of the subreddits and mistakenly commented in there. So stupid.
thats what happened to some of my account , critcizing trump was enough for a ban on R/tech, i assume people try to move onto another account avoiding the original sub, but thier Ai just detects that now. originally reddit dint do that, but since thier us of AI, it just looks at all your accounts you were logged into, even if previously you participated in a sub in the past.
I got here because some bot posted political ragebait in r/AskReddit and I got tired of censoring myself, so I noted I was, and the Mods got butthurt about it. It was venting, more than anything, but (boom) permanent account suspension. I even deleted the posts immediately because I still hadn’t reloaded the page. Hasn’t seemed to matter.
Really bites too because 90% of what I was on there for was Mine/Hermitcraft content and engagement.
the main subs are always monitored, and botted, best to avoid it. i was commenting on question one time about movies/actors, and someone dint like what i said, i was criticizing one of the trek actors.
I too am tired of censoring myself, boss. It’s like people simply can’t accept that it’s ok to have a different opinion than they.
