Goodbye 80k karma account - Lemmy.zip

All I have to say is: FUCK. REDDIT. Perma-bans for absolute nonsense, disclosing accounts, age verifications, etc etc. Made the move to Lemmy.

Got banned for posting in my new subreddit

Got banned for posting in my new subreddit - Reddthat

I was invited to be a mod by other small mods cause they want to grow a legit community not those ai slob subs with bot mods. Then my task just post and engage and never auto ban just anyone. Talk to them if there is a problem. Then I just keep posting naturally in my 2 subs. Then the next day I got banned with no reason and my sub got hammer ban. I get notified I broke the rules. I appealing and nothing happen. I don’t know if wanna go back.

I got sniped by a bot. Now I'm here

I got sniped by a bot. Now I'm here - Lemmy NSFW

Basically, I’ve talked about this story before, I had an account with almost 100k karma, I liked participating posting high quality stuff. I think it’s nice to be part of a community. Then I posted an NSFW meme in an NSFW subreddit that triggered a bot and said “Your Post was Removed by Reddit’s filters” and I thought, Welp it’s fine I’ll try to reupload it another time, I refreshed the browser and boom, I was permanently banned for absolutely no reason. I don’t know what the bot picked up since I literally didn’t use a bad word, I didn’t even think about appealing the ban because it doesn’t like almost ever get checked by actual human beings, It’s just a bot saying “No, we believe your ban was fair even though we didn’t check it sorry” So what now? Welp Reddit mostly has a 100 Day IP policy, meaning they store your latest IP you got banned with or the one you signed up, for 100 days. Even though making a new account is considered a ban evasion, It’s them sort of unofficially wink wink giving you another chance. I do think their system is harsh because again Reddit is too big and whoever decided that it was a good idea to have an appeal system that doesn’t get checked by human beings, wasn’t the smartest guy. I think the proper appeal system would be to have some sort of a ticket and speak to a Reddit admin even after weeks, but to be fair It’s one of the biggest community centered social media so I’m not sure how that could work, but hey maybe just saying don’t ban people permanently unless for really messed up stuff, just saying. Since then, I have changed my network I went on a new program with my ISP, not because of the ban but I basically upgraded my old connection, I have a dynamic IP and I thought why not, I’ve cleared my cookies, I’ve formatted my PC and technically, I’m in the clear already, however I haven’t made a new account yet. I might go back Yeah eventually I will, don’t get me wrong I do like Lemmy it doesn’t have the bullshit filters Reddit has, with Reddit I always had this feeling that if I’m too active today I might trigger a bot that thinks I’m spamming so I always had this feeling that if I do something out of the norm I’ll be banned for whatever reason, I’ve seen people getting banned for saying “Fuck ICE” so yeah. I am a free speech absolutist, I think people should talk about their views. there were a couple of people on r/askconservative that were chill and r/politicalcompassmemes was mostly filled with edgy fascists but to be fair it was fun, because you got to read different views and I admire that in a way. I do think there should be moderation, as is on Lemmy. I believe without moderation you could have people trying to maliciously “abuse” the system, but Reddit has to cut the bullshit bots that just wrongly flag your messages, so far with Lemmy it’s much smoother but it’s not as populated which is a big issue for me because with Reddit I used many niche subreddits. So will I go back on Reddit? Probably yeah, am I rushing though? No.

Reddit banned me for absurdity of its own.

Reddit banned me for absurdity of its own. - Lemmy NSFW

My account has been banned by reddit for a most absurd reason. First, I recieved warnings text of which said they were auto generated. Since auto generated content is least reliable, I ignored them. Second, the warnings were themself irrational. Social media always has a share button. If a post is supposed to remain private, either it should be mentioned on top of it or shall be posted in a private community. Posts I shared were on public pages and I did not claim copy right. In fact, details of model and photo studio were explicitly visible. Now I’m very very disappointed by Reddit. What sort of naive policy is it. I had an account with 10K karma. Had made some original posts with 100s if likes n shares. I want my reddit account back. I don’t want to make a new one. I want my original account un-banned. Kindly guide me how may I proceed??

Reddit's algorithm sucks so. Fucking. Hard

Reddit's algorithm sucks so. Fucking. Hard - Lemmy

I’m an amateur musician and music producer for some obscure genres. I made a Reddit account just for some specific musical subreddits that either aren’t present on Lemmy or aren’t active enough to be useful. Instead, my feed is just total trash subreddits that I didn’t ask for, because “people in my area” subscribe to them.

Oh no, my post got removed with no warning or reason. I wonder why

Local grocery store chain. Owner was photographed at Jan 6th rally. Bit of a well known POS locally. Reddit runs weekly ads for the store. These deals were advertised today. Dog Whistle?

Is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit?

Is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit? - programming.dev

The more time passes, the more I started to see the flaws in Lemmy design and development which will prevent it from being something meaningful. Which lead me to ask, is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit? - I tried HackerNews , but it does not seem very fit. - Tildes seem to have way more problems than Reddit, development and moderation. - Saidit seems to be almost dead and have zero active Android clients. - Discuit used to have a potential, but they are stuck in toxic positivity phase and the admins does not seem to understand how to moderate and it seems that they will have the same fate as Ruqqis. Anything else?

Banned on Reddit for speculating that Trump and Elon stole the election

Banned on Reddit for speculating that Trump and Elon stole the election - SLRPNK

Banned on Reddit for the following: I’m not one to believe conspiracy theories whatsoever, but the one I would not be surprised by is how he and Leon have made so many comments / slip ups that strongly imply that stole this election. It’d be one thing if it was just once, but the sheer amount of different ways they’ve said it is mind boggling: * they rigged the election and now we won [https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/user-clip-trump-admits-they-rigged-the-election/5150039] * don’t worry about voting … we got plenty of votes [https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/donald-trump-keep-saying-dont-need-votes-election-2024-rcna163808] * you won’t have to vote any more [https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/30/donald-trump-wont-have-to-vote-anymore-fox-interview] * he (Elon) was very effective and he knows those computers … and we ended up winning Pennsylvania [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9gCyRkpPe8] * if he (Trump) loses I’m fucked - how long do you think my prison sentence is going to be? [https://nypost.com/2024/10/07/us-news/elon-musk-suggests-hell-be-thrown-in-prison-if-harris-beats-trump-if-he-loses-im-fed/] Given that Drumpf and Leon are currently in the process of dismantling our government for their own personal gain and that Drumpf is completely incapable of NOT bragging about his crimes in front of everyone it worries me that it may actually be true and we will never know it.
