Reddit

Basically, a while back my Reddit account was banned out of the blue. Since then, every single new account I make gets banned instantly every single time I make a post. Not once, for the record, have they ever provided me an iota of a reason as to why I was banned in the first place. As far as I know, my account was just wiped off the face of the internet because someone felt like it. Since then, I’ve used VPNs, different computers, changed my IP to my internet, but every single time, the moment I post or comment the same exact thing happens. All of a sudden, my profile in the top right disappears and when I go to check in an incognito tab, it says that it’s been suspended.

Then, a few hours later, it will become permabanned. Then I’ll submit an appeal, and every single time they get back to me, they deny it, and the only reason they give is because “I broke the rules”. How on fucking earth am I ever supposed to use this platform again?

Reddit admins have been censoring talk of ICE raids in kitchens. No better time than the present to convince them to bring their community to Lemmy.

I know this is not an official reddit community, I just need an opinion and advice from someone who managed to get unbanned after violating TOS, or an admin who might be active here. Also, everything written here is true. My account had 55K+ karma and was 4 years old. Not planning to circumvent the ban in any way, so this is my last resort. I have many genuine friends on reddit

Dear Reddit Moderators/Admins,

I’m writing to sincerely apologize for my irrational behavior that led to my ban. I fully acknowledge that my use of abusive and hateful language was unacceptable, against Reddit’s rules, and harmful to the community. I deeply regret my actions and the negative impact they may have had on others.

I would like to express my regrets over my burst of emotions, sending abusive dms to multiple people who were abusing our country and some who posted comments threatening to grape and harm my family but removed them before I could report. Due to having lost two loved ones in the war in Jammu a few days ago, I was in a very toxic mental space and abused several people from the other country. I would like to express my sincerest apologies and regrets over such stupid and unacceptable behaviour.

Since then, I have seeked help for my mental health and stability (contacted a working professional, starting therapy today) and am willing to work towards making reddit safer and eliminate negativity spread by me by blocking every political/war-affected region's subreddit from my reddit feed, restricting my interactions on reddit to only the teenager subs and fandoms as well as sports and cats, that's it. 

This incident taught me a lesson about violent mental outbursts and I feel extremely sorry for the rage I spewed, no matter the context saying those things is wrong. I am sincerely requesting an unban and am willing to co-operate with the mods by requesting a shadow-ban of atleast 1 month on my account, but requesting it's restoration as well. 

I have been a part of reddit for over 3 years now and I now understand the gravity of the hateful words I said. I'm hopeful that therapy will lead me towards being a better person, both online and offline. 

I can assure you with utmost respect and sincerity that I shall never repeat and incident such as this ever again and will only work towards spreading positivity and light-hearted, SFW humour. 

Expressing my sincerest apologies and requesting a final unban as well as a shadow-ban for a few weeks. Please consider this request, I shall forever regret my actions. Due to the war-torn situation, my only friends are on reddit at this moment. Reddit used to be my escape from the scary reality and break from my studies and issues after getting diagnosed with sleep apnea and anxiety syndrome. Please, I am requesting this unban with my sincerest regrets.🙏 Expecting a response and again expressing my deepest regrets. I am willing to do anything asked of me to get my account restored.

[Please excuse my terrible English, it is not my first language.]

Has anyone thought about changing all their previous posts and comments to something like, "This has been deleted in protest of Reddit's privacy policy. Please use lemmy.world instead"? Will I get banned from Reddit (not by mods) if I gradually change my previous posts?

I HAVE HIGHLIGHTED KEYWORDS IN THE REQUEST TICKET

Just curious

I have tried a few times Creating an reddit account with VPN on but always get shadowbanned. Is there anything I can do to protect my privacy from reddit?

Or is there any public reddit account shared online that could be used publicly?

Are there any open-source Reddit frontends available for Windows? I’ve seen some options for Linux and Android, but so far I haven’t had any luck finding one that works on Windows.

When I took my little sub private during the API protest I got this message, still waiting on those next steps that "will take place" lmao

Original post by SoRedditHasAnAppNow:

Last night and video was posted on terrifyingasfuck about a woman who was sedated for a c-section and the physician put his penis in her mouth while she was under. He was recorded because the nursing staff put hidden cameras in as they were concerned about what he might be doing.

I tried to report it to reddit, but there wasn't a category that 100% matched. Regardless, I reported it as "non-consentual intimate content."

This morning I woke up to learn that reddit had reviewed the post and determined that it did not break reddit's site wide rules.

So that's it. Reddit condones rape videos. I knew this site had problems, but I never expected this.

Fuck that trash site and Power tripping mods

12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I've noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.

A team of researchers who say they are from the University of Zurich ran an “unauthorized,” large-scale experiment in which they secretly deployed AI-powered bots into a popular debate subreddit called r/changemyview in an attempt to research whether AI could be used to change people’s minds about contentious topics.

more than 1,700 comments made by AI bots

The bots made more than a thousand comments over the course of several months and at times pretended to be a “rape victim,” a “Black man” who was opposed to the Black Lives Matter movement, someone who “work[s] at a domestic violence shelter,” and a bot who suggested that specific types of criminals should not be rehabilitated.

The experiment was revealed over the weekend in a post by moderators of the r/changemyview subreddit, which has more than 3.8 million subscribers. In the post, the moderators said they were unaware of the experiment while it was going on and only found out about it after the researchers disclosed it after the experiment had already been run. In the post, moderators told users they “have a right to know about this experiment,” and that posters in the subreddit had been subject to “psychological manipulation” by the bots.
