Gamified social media with streaks and fomo notifications for daily scrolling or posting or whatever is hilariously bad and transparent.

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 17 points 3 months ago

but people fall for it, otherwise every social media wouldnt have it

[-] Bezier@suppo.fi 15 points 3 months ago

Every? It was news to me that even reddit does this. I must have left them all too early.

Even on old reddit they have these annoying and constant "achievement" notifications now.

[-] Catoblepas 12 points 3 months ago

I’m so glad I left completely (minus the random search result with no other leads, but no browsing) when the API fuckery started, corporate social media sounds like an absolute hellscape now.

Wha... do you get some kind of reddit currency if you make a post that breaks 1000 upvotes, with a multiplier based on your log in streak length?

Jesus Christ, these fucking dark pattern, microtransaction shit just needs to be universally banned.

Many many years and ass loads of karma....

But apparently LIKING posts can get you banned now. What a shit show.

[-] pulido@lemmings.world 14 points 3 months ago

It's all a ploy to control what we think.

Ideas are powerful, that's why they don't want us to have any of our own.

Not op but I got perma banned for fighting with people who were defending massive pedophile Dr disrespect. They were arguing that "it was legal that means it's okay". I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16. Legally he could fuck a 16 year old. However that doesn't change the fact that he's a pedophile scumbag regardless of legality.

I was then banned for "child sexual content" :)

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 27 points 3 months ago

Sounds right.

[-] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 24 points 3 months ago

Reddit has gotten so pathetic. Sad to see it fall so hard. If it was like this in 2012 I would have never signed up

Well the sentence that initially got me a three day ban was "Hitler did nothing wrong" which I'm aware doesn't look good on paper but it was a quote and not my own words. According to Reddit the decision was automated so I appealed what I thought was an honest mistake and that's when they probably saw my recent posts promoting Lemmy and talking about Palestine and decided to ban me permanently. That or they didn't like that I filed an appeal. I haven't used Reddit nearly as much since getting on Lemmy anyway so this is more funny than annoying but still a weird way to go.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 30 points 3 months ago

Having gone cold turkey and just left, it's weird no matter how you leave. Realizing how addicted I was, was kind of hard for my psyche.

Not OP but I got banned on reddit atleast 4 times. Zero bans on Lemmy though.

All for supposed harassment usually after having a disagreement in certain subreddits. Honestly could be anything their report system seems easy to abuse

Now, I don't tend to have those on Lemmy nearly as much, but when the pedophile I was disagreeing with reported me here the mods were chill to hear my side after issuing me a warning.

For both the more chill atmosphere and the better mods I like more here.

Lemmy. The support group for burned reddit veterans.

We were there. We put in thousands of hours of work. Years of moderating. Free work. Content creators. People who commented. Voted. All that karma ...

All gone cause you upvoted an anti trump or musk post. Or maybe you upvoted a photo of a tessler burning.

Maybe you didn't think Luigi should get the death penalty.

Don't worry brother. Upvote what you want. Be free with the rest of us.

Hello everyone. You're not alone. I got banned like for 4-5 times, using local Ukrainian words that may look like slurs, but they aren't.

I got unbanned, but I am still too scared to write anything about politics on Reddit. I want a working account there for IT questions.

[-] astro_plane@lemm.ee 17 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Make another account then. I have a shit posting account for making comments I know will be dicey. Reddit mods are fat slobs don't let them stop you from living your dreams.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

they will detect your alternate account through fingerprinting you

it's where I am currently, unable to use any of my 100% wholesome and positively contributing accounts because I shared the opinion of "Oh no, anyways" on a burning Tesla dealership post, got banned from world news with no explanation, asked for elaboration and did not receive it, and then continued to post in that sub with another account.

did I ban evade? yes. did I first attempt to find out why I was banned? yes. was I ignored and thus continued to participate with other accounts, being careful to say nothing even close to provocative with those accounts? yes.

didn't matter. they identified it as the same account, they banned it.

I got banned for pointing out that ICE are a human trafficking terrorist gang

[-] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

If you ever wonder why nobody calls it terrorism when America does it, it is because people are not allowed to do so.

[-] postalstiffler@lemm.ee 32 points 3 months ago

Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 29 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Reddit simply doesn't want an active user base. They want passive viewers ingesting AI generated content. Much better for advertising revenue that way.

Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let's encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?

You have a 300 day streak of using heroin, don't stop now!

My reddit account got a strike by an admin for describing the risks involved in traveling to the USA currently (abduction, torture for an undetermined amount of time). The appeal I made to that was accepted but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

I've had my reddit account for 17 years and I received my first warning for inciting violence because I commented "this makes me want to make a whip and go to town on these people" (a reference to Jesus running out the money changers in the temple) on a video of a megachurch service showing a woman painting trump bowing to a cross.

Reading all these ban stories, I'm glad I left during the API thing! I don't like censoring myself.

[-] uriel238 16 points 3 months ago

I was permabanned without explanation and reinstated two weeks later, again without comment.

I believe this tracks with what to expect should we ever see the tech-bro billionaires divide the world into monarchy fiefdoms ocer which rhey are each the unchallenged lord and master.

My Reddit account was permanently banned for saying I hope Nazi scum Elon Musk dies soon. Had previously caught temporary bans for saying things like "We should overthrow Musk into the sea." in response to him having argued King Charles should overthrow the UK government. Reddit admins really don't seem to like it when you're righteously intolerant of evil scumfuck psychopaths who use their unearned power and influence to cause immeasurable harm to society, the world and its inhabitants. Things like that break Rule 1, threatening violence, they claim.

Although the permanent ban was only for a couple of days since I for once was successful in my appeal. I basically said death =/= violence. An obvious truth to anyone, except some Reddit admins apparently.

I've not really used Reddit since. Kind of lost my will to bother with a US based site that's clearly and predictably going in a US direction, i.e. spiraling down the fascist sewage. Instead I've been drifting over to here. Will see what the moderation over here is like.

I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right "flair" or some other stupid shit.

Feel that pain this year would have been my 10th year on Reddit. I was permanently banned last June for saying I hope the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. It’s still blows I can’t post or comment on anything. I was part of a close nit group on Reddit involving a car subreddit and now it sucks to see people commenting on where I am and what happened.
