19 yrs on Reddit, permanently banned.
(lemmy.world)
No warning, not even a "Don't do it again email" - I had a work account, that was logged in on my works laptop, I made a comment critical of Netanyahu, and the Gaza genocide, which got that account banned from /pics. This was months ago, then I made a comment on pics, on my main account. That's it, gone, banned.
I even have another spare account, from 2008, logged in to that, that's banned too. FFS!
No luck on appeals, so I guess no more reddit, ever again. Anyone managed to get around this?
That used to be the case, but the AI moderation is really going stupid. I posted elsewhere about what got me permabanned. It's bullshit.
That said, you are still decently correct. A lot of people get legitimate bans. But reddit's AI moderation has also gone off the deep end.
If it helps, I'm the "father" of /r/nottheonion, was a default mod, hung out with admins in IRC back in the day...... not that it makes me super awesome, but I'm also not totally a 'random' guy. heh
That's fair. I left reddit before the AI boom, so I don't really know what it's like now.
i think AI moderation is working as intended for reddit, to keep criticism low against israel, trump,,,etc. but not enough to complete silence dissent to look unfair. as you know spez loves musks, so he wants reddit to have conservative undertones, hence the astroturfing.
I'm afraid I must agree with you, much as I hate to. I suppose just like twitter was destroyed, reddit is all but destroyed as well. :|
