So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.
I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)
I have seen people who got banned on lemmy who deserved it say this (there are most likely a lot of cases on reddit where people were banned for a bad reason, but saying that you didnt do anything doesnt mean much)
Isnt karma meaningless? I have gotten more from a single bad joke on a popular community
Isnt ip banning a common way to get around people using alt accounts?
The other day I got a week-long ban. Here’s the notification.
Here’s my incredibly hateful comment.
They do be banning people for no reason these days
the terms “jail the” plus identity triggered the ban. I’m not surprised.
I’m not surprised either. I just wish there was human intervention before a week long ban was enacted, rather than making me beg like a dog after
You can thank the teeming legions of genuinely hateful people flooding platforms everywhere for their mods/admins/etc. investing less and less time in pruning each individual (suspected) instance of hate.
You were the baby that was thrown out with the bathwater. I doubt your absence will impact their shareholder value.
Mentioning the USA and religion is unlikely going to go well on US social media, unless you are asking for thoughts, prayers, and guns.
Your ban seems like one of two things:
The person or bot didn’t understand you were being sarcastic (hell, even I’m not 100% sure)
The person or bot didn’t receive (or bother to check) the context, which hints at the above
Sarcastically stating something is a dangerous game, and you got burnt.
I feel like it’s maybe the most obvious sarcasm in history. Like, it shouldn’t take more than a middle school level reading comprehension to understand that I’m pointing out how a so-called “originalist” can arbitrarily hold beliefs about the meaning of the text that are in direct contradiction to the literal written text.
I shouldn’t have to add a /s when I say something that’s obviously wrong
Ah, the mantra of everyone who’s ever had their satire/sarcasm mistaken for sincerity.
Again, you played with matches, you got burnt. That’s the risk for the fun you signed up for.
the political ones usually are obvious banned on reddit for a reason(political misinformation/disinformation), plus the transphobic.
I got banned from a sub, didn’t know, year later commented on that popular front page sub from an alt, every account I have was instantly perma banned with no appeal. (Just a bot that auto responds no)
From what i know, Reddit also stores some device ID or sum shit to keep ya banned, i also verified this by changing my IP and making a new account, so it means that you have a chance of gettin banned on reddit for just using a used phone 💔
I made fun of AI. Bot banned me. Def banned with IP cuz using a VPN on a backup device was fine. However, I figure if they’re that petty to ban, then fuck them! I had 150k+ karma over 10 years. Sad to lose the maker communities, and tech swaps, but whatever. Fucking BS.
you arnt losing much, most of the reddit are bots anyways. and many of subs have AI BOT posting, i suspect these bot posting are the ones that are trying to gain a prescence so they dont get banned by reddit immediately.
I think my account was banned, but don’t know for sure. I left during the API bullshit.
Definitely didn’t do anything against the rules.
If you use “incognito” or whatever equivalent and visit reddit.com/user/<yourusername> it’ll show if you’re banned.
