Speedrunning a permaban on my 15 year old account. How many days do you think it will take?

      That’s why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.

        My 12 year old account got permanently suspended after an alt got a ban from r/entertainment for disagreeing with someone. Neither of us warranted a ban. Since I couldn’t block the sub from the news feed I accidentally commented again in the sub with my banned account not realizing the sub I was in. Then I commented with my main and got permanently banned. I appealed but didn’t get a response. This all happened over the course of a month or so and left an awful taste in my mouth.

      I don’t know if you saw this article, but it’s a fascinating and infuriating read, it’s about all of the Luigi censorship and the upvote policing. It’s scary as hell. Check it out

    Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?

      Not even really cowardice when you consider how bare bones their staff is. Even if they gave a shit about users, real monetization costs money and Reddit hates spending.

    Please let them implode.

    I want Lemmy to have niche content. I’m tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.

    hey so i started looking at a new place because I’m tired of reddit and the people on it… My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn’t even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy’s back is turned on your icon you’re in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren’t showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don’t know if this is related to luigi but it’s some weird nonsense.

      You sir or ma’am were shadowbanned. They want your views, not your voice. Basically you are ad revenue to them, if they ban you they lose that sweet juicy $.02 from their advertiser. They want two cents from their advertiser, just not from you.

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, reading content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, thinking about breaking the law is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, protesting human rights violations is also considered a violation.”

    They’re scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.

      His name isn’t taboo, it’s just the asslicker self-chosen slaves of the rich that want to silence it.

      That’s exactly what we need to take from this. Not that money is in control and that’s why they’re cracking down, but that they’re cracking down because they’re scared.

      Reddit is more okay with people where we have indisputable video of them killing someone else in cold blood than someone who police just say trust us bro he did it.

      Amazing how the admins react to things

    Talk about the thought police! I saw it coming for awhile, but past me from a decade ago is shocked that Reddit has come to this.

    Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.

      Less voicing of views, period. Reddit doesn’t want user interaction. Only views. The bots generate the content while the users are there to generate ad revenue.
