Reddit banned me for seemingly no reason. Twice. I’m sticking to Lemmy. I don’t know how the moderators at reddit even function. The entire process is beyond shady. Not only do they not tell you why you were banned but they literally don’t even tell you that you are banned. They let you just browse thinking everything is fine until you realize that every single post you make gets automatically deleted That your PFP suddenly disappears. that your achievements don’t seem to work Then if you try to type in your account into a browser you’re not logged in at, only then will you see that you’re banned. Then if you can figure out how to get to the appeals page, which for some reason two of exists, even though they are identical, Reddit not only doesn’t ever bother responding at all, but they don’t even acknowledge that they received the appeal. Not even an automated message. Nothing. I don’t know any other social media site that does this its just wild to me. Anyway, I’m here to rant about it because I can’t rant on Reddit.🤣 hope you guys enjoyed the rant
A shadow ban is not a normal ban. It’s used when the moderators think that your reaction to the ban would be a major issue, they shadow ban you. Given that you tried to ban-evade, they were probably right about it.
Well the mods on Lemmy are little to no different. I guess the difference is, is that lemmy mods can just ban you by taking word of some idiot’s story. Oh and they also are prone for not being descriptive about why they banned you.
Which is no better.
A more important difference is that you can just change instances with Lemmy.
Reddits systems likely use AI, which develops all kinds of false positives. So it’s much worse.
Use a different browser
