…its kinda funny that I received a lifetime ban from reddit for glorifying violence.
…with a joke about Princess Leia killing Jabba the Hutt no less
I got banned for replacing radical lefts unhinged mass murdering posts key targets with those of radical light to drive home a point that they’re unhinged. Don’t get why reddit protects hate speech and calls for mass murders that have consistently led to the largest genocides in the world.
I’m willing to bet this wasn’t the reason that they banned you, rather, you got them upset by having an opinion they didn’t like and speaking it outloud (like, say, saying Israel seems to be carrying out genocide on Palestinians), and they made a note of it so they could ban you in the next window of opportunity. They do this sort of bullshit all the time, sometimes using alts acting like assholes that never get banned no matter how many rules they break to try to rile you up. That way, they basically don’t have to answer to anyone.
I was harassed and stalked by people on reddit targeting people in disability related subs especially in the autism subs. I reported them and their sockpuppet accounts and nothing was done because reddit sent a message saying that it did not break their rules. When I told one of the stalkers alts to leave me alone several times I was flagged by a bot as harassing them. I appealed it but reddit did not care.
Another time I suggested to someone a telemedicine quit smoking service may help them and that was being flagged as “unauthorized transaction of prohibited goods”. They banned me for 7 days. They never even told me what comment I made but that was the only comment I could think of that might have caused it. Reddit themselves advertises these very same telemedicine clinics and you have to go through a doctor to obtain any medication, I was not sourcing any products. I sent them an email basically begging them to tell me specifically what I said that was wrong but they never replied. I said at the end “How am I supposed to learn from this if you won’t even tell me what comment was against the rules and clearly explain it to me?”. At least on most lemmy instances there is a modlog with what comment broke the rules and specifically why.
Meanwhile I see tons of subs and users doing way more than what I did. This coupled with the fact that I am part of the blind / visually impaired community and reddit banned the third party client I was using that had far better features for disabled users really turned me away from wanting to keep posting on reddit. Their global moderators and a lot of the subreddit and chat moderators are sometimes just straight up evil people who don’t care about actual victims of abuse and harassment. I have begun to really limit my use of reddit because of this biased behavior.
Pissed off a mod on a large sub, got banned for “ban evasion” (I only had 1 account)
Later learned I could get rid of the name I picked when I was 12 by deleting and remaking my account.
months later I accidentally commented in that large sub something totally innocent and got automatically permabanned from ALL of reddit. Appeal got denied instantly tooYeah. “Reddit admin” is the 5th Cluster B personality disorder. Its like when you’re young and the guy in class with the most prominent Adam’s apple gets put in charge while the teacher takes a piss.
Uses personality astrology, makes fun of others for other types of astrology
Nice scarf
How do they know? IP address?
No…they’re much dirtier than that, apparently, although it’s difficult to know for sure. There are many results in Google if you look for methods, and sometimes people in the biz chime in with some good answers, but it’s still mostly speculation.
I used the same email haha
I wasn’t trying to hide or break rules, I was just changing my name because the old one was cringey 😅I’m sure they do have loads of ways to detect alts though, it’s a pretty interesting field security wise.
Not just IP but cookies that load everytime you log in. When they want to ban you they send you one of these cookies.
