(sh.itjust.works)
Because they admin are run by π« policy. That's why.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Fair amount of subreddits have banbots for shitholes under the, "Starve the beast" idea. r/MensRights is on par with theredpill for shitters. Fix is fairly easy for situations just like yours. Up to you if you want to utilize it though.
Also you might not remember it but you've deffo interacted with interestingasfuck in some way. You don't recieve ban messages otherwise. They added that so folks couldn't do stuff like register bigoted sub names and ban folks from them.
After the whole API and third-party app ban I was already leaving Reddit. I only comment once a week at most but I stuck around for the fringe subreddits like r/selfhosted. I am done with this corporate social media. It's all trash, AI, and bots.
I miss the good ol' days when the internet was young. Would spend time on the IGN forums, find random Geocities sites, catch a seizure on someone's MySpace page, or waste an afternoon finding random things using StumbleUpon.
Be sure to remove your comment/post history before you go so they can't monetize that with AI bullshittery.

This does nothing the data is record kept and mass deleting/shredding your comments is already deductible and there have already been cases where shredded comments have been reversed after people have deleted their account.
I don't understand how this isn't considered brigading.
This is literally dictating that people of X sub, are not allowed to post in Y sub. So if I have a community there, some other, larger community can essentially threaten the users of my community to not participate...
Because it is sanctioned by mods... Water flows down.
Yeah and? That's reddit for you. You're now allowed to even speak to them or face the wrath of the mods. Fuck that place
They do similar shit here got hit with a ban on Midwest.Social for drama on Lemmy.world news and politics subs...
Some mods have hard time understanding the job and just use the modding to moderate opinions they don't like lol
But the way fediverse works this clown behavior has limited impact as subs are not centralized, there is always another place to continue discussion.
When people claim they are for freedom of speech they mean the speech they approve of. I'm for banning hatred, racism, personal attacks, threats, and similar but discussions are hard.
Bad faith actors should be banned, no dout but current moderation regime appears to be only 50/50 proper admin.
Mod log feature is fun to review since anyone can review sequence of events and see if the reason makes sense.
People are now being perma banned from r/pics of all places for merely posting on the Asmongold subreddit. Yes, it's become something of an anti-woke echo chamber in recent months, but it's the main subreddit of Twitch's most popular streamer.
And now we wondered why 74.7 million Americans voted for Donald Trump last week. Because maybe telling your voters that they're Nazi scum if they don't agree with you isn't a winning strategy, like the world view that most Reddit moderators have.
I have had similar thoughts.
Consider, a really nice ideology. Full of politeness, good behavior, acceptance, tolerance, liberality and positive ideas.
But the ideology is transmitted via powerful propaganda, threats, conformity and totalitarian stuff.
So it isn't actually so nice.
I've noticed that a lot of people online are becoming very unhinged. They are looking for fights, placing people on their enemies list if they have the wrong opinion, and just stay online arguing for hours. I don't know if these are real people, bots from nation states, people arguing with bots, or bots arguing with bots.
Yes to all the above, and probably a mix of bots and terminally online people getting involved. Not sure what year everyone started becoming unhinged but I think it was at least mid-2010's.
I think it's the power of social media. People living in echo chambers. Their minds are turning into perfect crystal. Full of all the right ideas. Full of certainty about what's right and wrong, real and unreal. Perfect and logical yet constrained to a tiny box. Brittle. Vulnerable to cracking at the smallest shock.
I got perms banned from a few communities for having two comments in r/ProLife. They got deleted so I don't remember the context but it was definitely not supporting pro life politics.
This is why public modlogs on Lemmy are useful.
I've gotten multiple bans here for voting "wrong". Not to say it's not dumb on reddit, but Lemmy has it's issues with disproportionate bans, too.
Same, I got instance banned for 'drive by downvoting' and told to 'clean up my feed' because I dared browse all and vote on posts.
This was going on also during COVID.
If you say COVID was leaked from the lab in Wuhan you get banned from 10 other subreddits.
Even though there were multiple academic research suggests that might be the case.
Could even get dog-piled for saying "we need more info" in the early days of that.
it was weird, like literarily they were researching and publishing about SARS like viruses in bats as early as 2015, and yet people got crazy if someone said it might be a leak.
Here is a paper published in 2015 called "Bat origin of human coronaviruses" by Zhengli Shi ( Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China )
Reddit logic: suggesting a lab accident automatically makes you racist or anti-science or something.
Even us intelligence said it was a valid theory but nah fuxk the plebs, can't discuss it
That's cuz certain groups steer those discussions to a racist place EVERY SINGLE TIME
so because somebody did something normal people can't have a discussion on the topic?
wtf are you even shilling? limits on free speech because bad faith actors derailing discussion on socials?
Do you understand that covert domestic or foreign actor could use this as loop hole for censorship of undesirable topics?
Yeah they're trash anyway. That subreddit sucks. I've seen too many astroturf ads get promoted to like 20k upvotes. Good riddance, I say.
If you want to stop it, block /u/safebot , /u/saferbot and /u/safestbot
Works pretty well.
This happened to me before, years ago before the Dark Times.
I donβt recall which sub banned me for posting where, but itβs been a thing for awhile. In my case, I messaged one of the mods of the sub that banned me, explained that I was doing something similar & not a member of that sub, and they unbanned me.
You make an excellent point. Years ago you could actually appeal a subreddit ban or even an Admin total ban from reddit. They still have an "appeal" process but it seems like their new policy is once you are banned that's it. They have no interest in listening to a logical explanation.. They are also checking your past posts and comments history. Got banned recently from a group NOT because of anything I posted or commented on but because I had posted something in another group that they didn't like. Fuck all of them over there.
Happens to me all the time on lemmy.
Yeah Lemmy seems pretty left-wing but at least you can host your own instance if you're right-wing. I'm on neither side but I try to listen to both. Forcing silence and compliance will only backfire because it's in human nature to resist.
Saying that you're neither side means that you're right-wing.
No, saying I'm neither side means exactly that. I don't know why you're trying to make enemies.
Or, perhaps, theyβre of a centrist position? Like, literally, on neither side.

Reddit is a psyop. Change my mind.
I don't hate things just for being popular. However, reddit definitely gets worse the more popular it is, and the largest subs are always the worst of the worst.
