I just got my first Luigi-upvote warning this morning. The best part is the bots don't tell you specifically which post or comment you upvoted to get you auto-flagged, so you have no idea how to navigate the minefield of their automated autoban system, they don't even take the posts down.. they leave them up as some sort of honeypot to flag as many people as possible to ban.

People will just use Mario's bro or whatever instead. They going to ban everything Mario related then? And if they do they'll just use Nintendo's green bro. They going to ban Nintendo from reddit then?

Exodus!

Pattern matching “Luigi” is the laziest form of moderation. Reddit works with a firm and has the scale that should be able to contextualize the term if needed in their content models for Violence.

Lu*gi

Mama mia

Shocked to be swept up in this when I never even posted or commented on the account that was banned. It's strange because now I can't even delete the account either.

Are they censoring ''player two'' ''green Mario'' ''Waluigi'' or xXBIGLOUIEXx ?

Oh no, I am sure reddit totally won't just say something like Plumber or Green instead of Luigi, making it impossible to keep auto-censoring.

Up vs. down in full swing

As far as I know, the word Luigi isn't outright banned, but it does get flagged for review.

I came here to escape Reddit and to say FREE LUIGI!!!

Just got banned! It was an honor!

That's how I ended up on Lemmy a few days ago. I was looking for a replacement for Reddit anyway, so the timing was convenient.

Is it on certain communities? Posted on prequel memes and got no such warning? Maybe the ban van is coming for me?
