PermabanQuestion - sh.itjust.works
I’ve been permabanned from Reddit for harassment. I was fucking with some guys
that liked anime in a non anime subreddit, I simply called them Chinese cartoons
and they got mad, bigly. Anyways I trolled too much using that account so
apparently they figured it was better to cut me off the website entirely. I
would like to use Reddit still, but every account gets banned as soon as I make
it. It tells me I can appeal but I can’t actually because that was more than a
year ago. If I delete that account and all associated accounts, and make new
account not associated with them (new email), will it get banned too? I know
reddit bans are not just IP bans but also use device ID and all that shit. Will
I have to buy a new computer exclusively for Reddit? Or does my device becomes
unflagged the moment I delete the banned account? I need help with this shit. I
like lemmy but there’s just not enough people here.

Why are we not banning algorithms? - sh.itjust.works
Since Meta announced they would stop moderating posts much of the mainstream
discussion surrounding social media has been centered on whether a platform has
a responsibility or not for the content being posted on their service. Which I
think is a fair discussion though I favor the side of less moderation in almost
every instance. But as I think about it the problem is not moderation at all: we
had very little moderation in the early days of the internet and social media
and yet people didn’t believe the nonsense they saw online, unlike nowadays were
even official news platforms have reported on outright bullshit being made up on
social media. To me the problem is the godamn algorithm that pushes people into
bubbles that reinforce their correct or incorrect views; and I think anyone with
two brain cells and an iota of understanding of how engagement algorithms works
can see this. So why is the discussion about moderation and not about banning
algorithms?
