Thank you Spez for banning my account of nine years for voicing my political opinion! I made many contributions to communities over the years and now you’ve lost that so good fucking bye.
I wonder what would happen if we all took to their other socials to speak our minds. If we flooded their posts and app reviews with negative feedback, maybe something would be done about it.
this is so reminiscent if the digg Exodus around the aacs key. bans pushed us to reddit, and at a higher rate than those being banned. Lemmy mau is up over 10%. idk if the bleeding can be stopped.
uninvolved users will stay with it. digg had 2 or 3 major redesigns before I stopped hearing about it completely. it became little more than yahoo! news.
I'm sure that is the fate of reddit now.
I got banned from half the subs on reddit for trying to explain the scunthorpe problem on programming related sub, because all that is what happens when everyone uses the same automod that has the exact problem I was trying to explain and they also ban you from subs you've never even been to because they share a naughtylist of ppl who use the c word.
for anyone that's never heard of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
reddit admins and mods are just using idiotic automation to shoot first and ask questions never
and also to help the billionaires not have to look at things they don't like so elongated muskrats don't get thier feewings hurt
I can see why these people change the name or their village: https://www.dw.com/en/austrian-village-of-fucking-decides-to-change-its-name/a-55740967
I learned about it as the buttbuttination problem before I new it had a proper name, heh.
Ngl, that's kinda hilarious (and sad at the same time)
Nice permanent ban!
I left for much less; A 24-hour suspension. Though to be honest, that was literally just the straw that broke the camel's back.
I got suspended for using the word "retard" in a scientifically and non-offensive context (ex: put bread in the fridge to retard the growth of mold). No way to appeal that obviously retar-- ridiculous decision.
LMFAO this is what happens when ai is used for moderation
Possibly, but this happened long ago enough that AI probably wasn't a factor. Just good ole fashioned human stupidity and/or ignorance.
Seriously, shareholders kill what they invest in it's surreal.
ever since huffman publicly endorsed elon/trump, it was only a matter of time.
It's always been like that. They're parasite - they ruin the thing they latch on to, then they jump ship with fat stacks of cash and move on to the next product to kill.
It’s truly astounding, isn’t it? Like, is there any investment that hasn’t totally killed the product? You can feel when a company switches over too to the investors. It doesn’t matter what the product is.
Like, take the website ModCloth. Started as a vintage fashion reseller. It was like a little community that was attached to a e-commerce store.
Walmart subsidiary bought them out. Changed over the website. Deleted everyone’s usernames, information, and profiles. And with it over a decade of user posts and photos. Website stopped selling any good quality vintage style clothes. The entire reason anyone shipped there. It’s just like drop shopped tshirts with stolen art now. What the fuck.
I can think of a hundred more examples. Investors buying any company should sound like a banshee scream.
Soon we will see it happen to Discord. It will be pretty awful.
Where are we moving to instead of Discord?
Man I’ve supported discord for years too. Fucking sucks. It makes me upset to think about.
Well at least IRC with come back with good searching... Unless Google fucks that up somehow. The internet is dead or dying.
Yeah even google search is broken thanks to AI, never thought it would happen but here we are.
It's very inconvenient.
I have a project right now that needs a good unique title, and since Google is now flying blind through a soup of AI gibberish I have no way of telling whether the titles I think up are unique.
Last time I went through this process it was so easy.
If it's like my permanent ban, they lift it once they need to pump up their subscriber numbers. 😂
then they reban people after thier increased number show healthy activity to thier investors, i just delete my accounts if they recieved to many sub bans, or a sitewide ban.
Considering deleting my account as a statement but I’m kind of attached to the history which is why it’s kind of scary touching it at all at this point. All I’m using it for now is for a few crafting subreddits and some clothing based subreddits that don’t have equivalents on Lemmy yet. One I might be able to create myself. But we’re talking 5-10 of my most frequent hangouts. That seems like a bit much.
I had a 15 yr old account with thousands of comments. After a 3 day ban for a dumb joke about Boeing Starliner (that became partially true BTW) I deleted my top comments and closed my account. It's better not constantly doing scrolling, but I haven't left social media completely obviously.
That's the reason I haven't deleted my reddit aswell, I have some niche subreddits that mean the world to me and made me expand my hobby. I am however going to use lemmy more and who knows, reddit might become worse and we fully go to lemmy anyway!
I recently lost my 13 year old account for telling a Nazi troll that their actions have consequences.
Still trying appeals but not optimistic.
Literally thousands of unpaid work done as a moderator of 4 subs during that time.
.... Im so bitter.
Now I'm bitter for you too.
Who is going to create content or mod subs if they kick out all of us veterans?
I’ve been reporting people that hint at violence after I got banned for something that was 1000% not even close to a hint at political violence.. like not even being sarcastic. Anyway, the more banned the more people leave. Silver linings. Reddit era deserves to be over.
Deleted my 15 yr account yesterday. Hola!
Deleted my 14 year old account on Saturday. Fuck em.
It's actually nice to open a comments section and see the same goddamn 10 comments every time.
What opinion got you banned?
OP conveniently omitting that detail suggests that popcorn may be in order.
Perhaps a comment about Louie G.
When the account is banned is still possible to edit or delete own comments or posts?
Consider running that script that goes over each post or comment and replace it with random words, just to poison their ai training
Honestly, I shouldn't still be pissed about my ban but I can't help it.
I was on reddit for over 10 years with millions of fake internet points
Sitewide banned me for no discernable reason
It's been a couple of months and they still haven't even bothered to respond to my appeal
Now that I see how reddit's going down the tube, I don't even care if they respond at this point
I'm done with it
Man... I wen't through so many permas on reddit. I am so happy that the alternative is forming
as did i, first it was politics, then news and aww, and my later accts caught those and more. simply for misconstured statements. and then reddit look back at your "deleted accts which had sub bans" and retroactively banned all your active accounts.
We’ve been here for a few years, but we’re grateful to have new people!
My account was 17 years old when I was banned without explanation.
All these Reddit bans I’m seeing are insane. At this rate, soon most of that site is actually going to be bots lol
Nice! All of my Reddit accounts got banned this week too! Including one that hadn’t even made a post in over 6 months!
Still on Reddit? Use a comment and post wiper now, before you get banned.
Kinda nice to get banned though. I was banned from xitter for liking a comment critical of the muskman, it really helped reinforce that I needed to be done with that place though. Maybe I'll move on from Reddit before that happens...
