I was just interested to see how much had changed since December when I was randomly banned with no reason given and the appeal went unheard.
I was just planning to browse and not log in but it immediately gave me a pop-up notification to create an account.
Curious if it would allow me, I submitted the application and it went through without problem.
I didn’t want to draw too much attention to myself, so I didn’t comment or post for the first month.
Then, I made another mistake. I got invested, again and it didn’t take long before it inevitably became political.
I posted a reply to someone who had clearly been chugging the orange kool-aid. Nothing terrible, just what I thought was objective reality, easily verifiable through past reporting through many credible media outlets.
But, reddit is going to reddit. Somehow objective reality has been classified as hate speech on reddit.
I’m not surprissd. Just a little disappointed.
I appealed, I do not expect a reply.
Previously, I had been on reddit for 10 years without much incident.
This time I lasted only 2 months
they are also known to brigade and mass report someone, plus alot of them are propaganda bots too.
i like how reddit made thier “violations” more vague, identity based hate can mean anything lol. im guessing that now includes republican promoting misinformation is protected speech. making easier for one to be banned.
reddit allows heavy astroturfing by the right, drowning out left leaning comments
Also I once received a message from a Reddit admin, and I thought their grasp on the English language was… tenuous. It wouldn’t surprise me if they offshore people to do this work, and if they don’t speak English very well, then there’s no chance for them to make great decisions about violations.
Ai moderation allows them plausible deniability, so they can ignore peoples appeals for bans, most of them. alot of thier responses are most likely AI generated too.
