Reddit

I told Nazis to go kill themselves. Then made multiple Krasnov accounts. All banned and now perm banned unless I use VPN. It was time to go, fuck that place. Welcome home.

Welcome to the bright side :)

I got banned for repeatly saying ashli babbit deserved a bullet. Got classified as promoting violence

I get banned from reddit all the time for saying things against Israel.

Just clear browser cache and poweroff your cable modem for 15 min, should get ya new IP.
Don't use reddit mobile app, app will track unique device identifier and new account will still be banned.

Firefox+ ublock on desktop and mobile is your friend.

Not banned. Just close account!

I got shadowbannned after posting about politics.

I never called for or celebrated violence, didn't upvote pictures of Luigi (which they have a STRANGE hard-on for) or any of that. I just posted neutrally-worded opinions.

Shadowbanning is an abusive behavior and Reddit has been about that for well over a decade. On Twitter, you do something they don't like, they just tell you, "you have to delete this tweet and wait 12 hours" or whatever. On Reddit, your account just gets "weird" with strange error messages. You have to go digging for information on the phenomenon because they don't display a message or send an email about it.

The cute little aliens are there to paper over the fact that Reddit's leadership has no concept of user advocacy. You're just rows in a few tables to them. You're the product that's being sold, and as far as they're concerned that gives you the same rights as any other product on a shelf.

They are still sending me emails with cute little aliens in them, even though my account is hosed. This is how disjointed they are.

Someone else wrote that on Reddit, the users and admins hate each other. I think that's true.

I got permabanned for criticizing Israel. The final comment that got me permabanned was literally 'No, just the problems they deserve blame for' to a zionist who accused all Lebanese of blaming all their problems on Israel.

I was perma-banned because I made a joke about chucking a rock through the windshield of a literal, out-and-proud-capital-N Nazi.

Didn't make any appeals because it was time to leave. I spent waaaay too much time on that stupid site and now I'm starting to finally feel free of the outrage/affirmation addiction.

I got banned in 2019 for hate speech against cops.

"Edolf" lol. My pet name for Trump is Liddle Shitler.

Permabanned for asking what Eisenhower would do if he was present at a Nazi march in Wisconsin and someone handed him a machine gun.

Apparently, impossible hypotheticals (Eisenhower is long dead) intended as a commentary on the fascist shift of the republican party (Eisenhower was a republican) are advocating violence. Eisenhower famously led efforts to kill Nazis.

So here I am.

Part of me wants to engage in ban evasion and just post hate all over reddit to make it worse. What are they going to do? Ban me? Too lazy to bother though.

Reddit bans for all kind of political commentary across the spectrum. Fuck spez. Fuck reddit.

Permabanned for reporting posts on r/truerateme

Permabanned for saying evil shit about Russians, a few times. Funny thing is how fast they would be on negative comments about Russia.

And BTW, Russians can die in a fucking fire. Lived under threat of nuclear annihilation for my entire childhood, and now the filthy gangsters are fucking with, and have ruined, American politics.

Is there anything that can be done to hold Reddit accountable or make people aware of they way they are censoring speech?

Many people on social media platforms don't realize the spam filters can be abused by attackers to prevent certain topics from being mentioned. And on front-page subreddits they do not publish comments, they look published if you are logged in, but if you check from off-axis they are unpublished. I've been posting some of them here and on Bluesky, but nobody cares (on Bluesky, but people have here) !CensoredByReddit@lemm.ee maybe some tech press will cover it.

Lifetime (of the person) bans on Reddit for individual subreddits and accounts are dumb. That sites been around for decades. I can only image how many people got banned there at age 16 and are completely different people at age 22. I never see people bring this kind of criticism up.

All I can do is extend my sympathies, and tell you that you’re better off in the long run. Most people here don’t like corporate social media because of situations like yours.

Don’t worry about profanity. People swear all the time and don’t mark their posts.
