News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Never forget he accused the Apollo dev of blackmail and doubled-down on the claim even after evidence disproved it.
Pretty sure that’s a crime in most places.
Crimes only count if poor people do them
They screwed over so many people. Losing the ability to search your own comment history with Camas / Push Shift screwed me out of archiving some of my older write-ups and valuable conversations.
Admins really took a nose-dive in the last year especially. They royally screwed my account over, blatantly wrongly banning my main account then using that false-ban as justification to permanently-ban me months later.
All the while they uphold objectively-racist comments despite several reports. Fucking weird.
I got temp banned for “report abuse” when I’ve only ever reported anything that clearly broke the sitewide rules. Just assumed it was some kinda mistake. When it happened a 2nd time I decided not to bother anymore. Now I consider my account read-only and if I want to post content I use Lemmy.
After giving the admins (and a bunch of mods) in the ModCoord sub a piece of my mind about the site and what it has turned into, I deleted my ~13 year old account. Nothing against the rules so definitely didn't justify a ban.
Logged in to my NSFW account a few days later to find that account, which I had literally never posted a single comment or post on, was permanently suspended from Reddit as a whole citing "Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit's content policy.". Had a look at my deleted account and it has been permanently suspended too, despite no longer existing lol. If I go to the user page of my deleted account it shows the "user is suspended" page, but searching for my username gives no results and if I go to a sub where I know I made a post, the post is there with [deleted] for the username.
So good that not only did they ban my lurking account after I deleted my main, but they also banned my deleted account somehow lol. Definitely didn't rustle an admins jimmies, did I? haha
Same thing happened to me. Admins must have gotten a message to do that or something. First time ever was during the protests.
🙄🙄🙄
Might be worth noting my temp bans were recent too. Also, both times the comments I reported were removed lol. Task failed successfully.
Yup, I've had this one as well. I probably have a 90% hit rate reporting calls for violence, yet apparently that's not precise enough for galaxy brain reddit admins.
The worst thing IMO was making it impossible for blind people to moderate subreddits (like r/blind) and completely ignoring their pleas to make it possible without third-party apps.
You can request your entire data footprint and they have to comply. I got mine a few weeks ago just to inconvenience them.
Even when permanently-suspended, I wonder?
Yes. They have to comply with the EU regulations.
Well I just submitted my request. I appreciate the info, thanks.
I mentally checked out of reddit when I got a comment deleted and a 3-day sitewide ban for saying:
"It is always OK to punch a Nazi."
It was a literal comment, not figurative, nothing was being compared, etc. Just a straight statement about actual past and present-day Nazis. Ban.
The 3rd-party app fiasco happened a couple of weeks later, and that was the second sign that I needed to GTFO.
My longest temp ban was literally for saying "well I guess the alternative is to kill anyone who disagrees with you."
Using sarcasm to argue against violence is too violent. 14 days, and they overturned the ban on appeal on day 12.
I have reservations on that statement for a few reasons (mainly because I think it makes the nazi problem worse in some respects) but I 100% don't think that deserves a ban and the general gist is fair. Any sort of bigot generally has not received a taste of their own medicine and lacks the empathy to learn form abstraction.
For my case I received a 3-day sitewide ban for saying, "Fun fact: the immune system synthesizes hydrogen peroxide at infection sites which signals a wider immune response," and cited 2 science articles. Cited for harassment... lol??
Later, r/news mods (shady fucks who I suspect are compromised with right-wing extremists) banned me without citing a comment or reason. Eventually I made an alt account months later and got perma-banned for ban-evasion (I didn't try to hide it), and get this, with them citing the previous bullshit suspension as a first-strike which I tried to appeal and they ignored.
Edit: Like the name, by the way. Love Lost Keys / Rosetta Stoned.
I have experienced the exact same thing on several old accounts. One was just completely ghost banned out of the blue. No warning, no temp ban, no suspension notice. The account just ceased to exist one day. It was also my least anonymous work account so I was definitely well behaved on it. I legitimately have no fucking clue what happened.
My oldest account (14 years now) has gotten two temp suspensions completely idiotic reasons, both of which were overturned on appeal, but I assume that still counts as two strikes.
I don't think it's a crime, but it probably is a tort.
Never forget that Steve Huffman defends and protects Nazis and child abusers. Right wing terrorists radicalized entirely or partially on Reddit have killed dozens of people.
