I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.

To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.

I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.

Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.

    Funny how it’s been a thing for YEARS without autobanning. When it was “I need my guns to stand against tyranny if it shows up at my door”, there were no autobans. Now that tyranny is actually at the door, they autoban.

    Bastard and his bots will always banhammer anyone even remotely talking about committing violence. He doesn’t like progressives contaminating his LLM farming data to sell for.

        It stopped being helpful years ago, I no longer trust advice on there since It’s usually an ad or someone insulting the poster for not knowing the answer because they have a life outside of being on reddit 24/7

    If you’re not rotating your IP every time then you’re getting hit for ban evasion triggered by keyword detection or reports

      I don’t rotate the IP. Generally speaking, these accounts can go for months, seasons, before being autobanned when I finally say fuck it and post a pro 2A comment or insult the fuck out of a MAGA dipshit. They aren’t bans based on reports because they happen instantly. So I’m assuming they have bots set up looking for keywords or a certain threshold of keywords.

        My point is simply that you’re being fingerprinted and re-banned, rather than these accounts triggering some independent “no 2fa comments” rule and getting individually banned. Whatever the trigger is, the system is recognizing you as an already banned user and re-banning you as soon as you cross their radar

        Yeah. Phones are another thing altogether. I haven’t used Reddit mobile for years because of this. At least not logging in to an account anyway. Which doesn’t bother me much. I really only use Reddit on PC and I pointed out in another comment that all I do is run Reddit in a private browser window, then once I’m banned, I reset the whole browser, open up a new private window and create a new account. I can go months with a new account like that before being banned based on a comment. So it works. I’m assuming they use cookies to track and the combination of using a private browser window and resetting the browser is enough to bypass their bullshit.

        But on phones I think they capture some kind of identifying value for the phone itself, like a MAC address, and then that device is toast on Reddit going forward.

        I don’t pretend to have answers for everything, I just know what’s been working for a number of years for me.

      Try it yourself, champ.

      Don’t let everyone do work for you.

      You too dumb to create a throwaway account and try posting something pro 2A to test it out? Doesn’t take long. Maybe you could get your mother to help you.

      I explained in another comment how to create throwaway accounts that can be banned without auto-banning future accounts. Learn to read.

    Suddenly spez’s masters fear it. After all its pretty clear he is just a well paid tool now with no acutal power beyond his bloated bot net driven opinoin engine.

    I still get these /c/reddit post in my main feed. I’m going to go ahead and block this community. I’m really tired of reading about reddit. Its dead and really shouldn’t be discussed here at all.

    Reddit truly is dead to me.

      It’s Reddit. It’s a cesspool run by trash humans.

      So yes, you can talk about guns and the 2nd amendment all you want when children are being murdered in school, but if fascists control the government, you gotta stop that, because you’re now an “agitator”.

      Edit: Actually, to be fair, most Reddit users are good enough people to grasp that fascism has come to America and fascism is bad. So calling the site in general a cesspool isn’t necessarily accurate. The shitstains are mostly bots and a small percentage of trash humans. The real issue are the trash humans running the site and dictating the rules that have driven us all to Lemmy.

        Yeah, corporate advertisers.

        Can’t speak of violence guns or anything else, lest it upset the VERY kinds of people looking for that “Disney” sensibility the Mayor of Minneapolis refered to last night, after he got asked about dropping the F-bomb in response to the shooting yesterday.

        It’s squeeky-clean and “sanitized” for your protection, now that it had it’s IPO and went mainstream.

        Come on, what do we all expect? Everyone here is old enough to know how this all rolls.

        It’s all got to be puppies and daffodils and fairy tales that keep the shoppers feeling safe and spending.

        Capitalism 101: Keep the consumers warm and fuzzy.

          I know. I’m not saying Lemmy is perfect. But the only censorship I’ve experienced was on .ml (surprise surprise) and I haven’t been banned, not even from an individual sub/instance.

          It’s got problems but it isn’t Reddit levels of trash.

          Lemmy allows me to support our Constitutional rights. That alone makes it better than Reddit.

            The issue here is that there isn’t really a way to ban anyone. No matter how many times they vote or how many AI chat bots they use to keep their accounts active.

      Ok.

      Figured others had experienced the same thing and wanted to chip in their experiences or, if they cared enough, could test it out on their own.

      Either way, the comment was auto-deleted by Reddit so I’m just paraphrasing anyway.

      I stated that everyone should exercise their 2A right and arm themselves. And if they are already experienced with firearms they should help others who are interested arm themselves and help them train. I also pointed out that, in this political climate, if they want to chat with friends/family about purchasing firearms, they may want to use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app.

      That’s it. That was the content of my comment. None of that is questionable. None of that breaks Reddit site wide rules. None of it is a call to violence. And, not that it matters on a privately owned platform, but all of that is supported by our Constitution.

      Also, why did you say

      Why do you keep saying this

      This is the first post I’ve ever made about this. I’ve never even made a comment on Lemmy about this.

          Dude.

          You’re a moderator.

          Learn how to read.

          When Reddit bans you for a comment they DELETE THE COMMENT.

          I’ve already, in multiple responses to others on this post, tried to detail what was in the comment as closely as I could.

          You sound like you want me to verbatim recreate a comment I posted that was deleted when you probably are well aware that Reddit deletes the comment.

          Is this a mod power trip?
