Welcome to the club!!!

Reddit used to be good enough to get people to post daily without cajoling

I canceled my reddit pro, or reddit+ account, whatever the f*ck it is called, and the ads, the ads.... Ads that look like posts, or comments. It's almost making me 100% Lemmy too.

I was permabanned without explanation and reinstated two weeks later, again without comment.

I believe this tracks with what to expect should we ever see the tech-bro billionaires divide the world into monarchy fiefdoms ocer which rhey are each the unchallenged lord and master.

I still haven't been told I've been officially banned, they just give me server errors all the time (only on my main account, not when going on any other account/incogni)

Reading all these ban stories, I'm glad I left during the API thing! I don't like censoring myself.

I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right "flair" or some other stupid shit.

Oh this is me. Got banned from Reddit and am on lemmy fulltime.

My Reddit account was permanently banned for saying I hope Nazi scum Elon Musk dies soon. Had previously caught temporary bans for saying things like "We should overthrow Musk into the sea." in response to him having argued King Charles should overthrow the UK government. Reddit admins really don't seem to like it when you're righteously intolerant of evil scumfuck psychopaths who use their unearned power and influence to cause immeasurable harm to society, the world and its inhabitants. Things like that break Rule 1, threatening violence, they claim.

Although the permanent ban was only for a couple of days since I for once was successful in my appeal. I basically said death =/= violence. An obvious truth to anyone, except some Reddit admins apparently.

I've not really used Reddit since. Kind of lost my will to bother with a US based site that's clearly and predictably going in a US direction, i.e. spiraling down the fascist sewage. Instead I've been drifting over to here. Will see what the moderation over here is like.

I got banned for saying people should engage in mass protest against the arrest of judges and prevent anyone from entering and leaving the building in which they are held until they are released.

I'll create a new Reddit account when I can be bothered to create a new email address.

What were you banned for?

Just got 7 day ban for wishing that Elon musk poof out of existance. Fuck Reddit, and fuck the tyrannical Reddit admins.

Feel that pain this year would have been my 10th year on Reddit. I was permanently banned last June for saying I hope the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. It’s still blows I can’t post or comment on anything. I was part of a close nit group on Reddit involving a car subreddit and now it sucks to see people commenting on where I am and what happened.

Uh oh, did you suggest something that isn't aligned with corporate status quo enforcement?

Lately I'm seeing a lot of this on old accounts

I had a few alt accounts from a decade ago that I'd sometimes used to get something from that site but over the past year the all got banned for no reason because I literally didn't even post with them.

Im guessing that Reddit wants to get rid of those older users that still remember how great it was

If you're not a russian orc troll, you're not welcome on reddit these days.

Don't miss Reddit. I got my 10 year account permanently banned for making a complaint about a mod who temp banned me for no perceivable reason.

Eat a sack of damp turds Reddit.

It's a bot farm.

got permed for suggesting that the time to protest is now, before protesting becomes illegal and prosucetable und law lol

You still get banned here too. The mods can disagree politically and just ban you as they can on reddit.

My account just got suspended for mocking JD Vance in a joke thread. I appealed and got a permaban in response.

These days both Twitter and Reddit have wacky UI messages written by completely different teams. One team is all business-like as in "Here's some stern warnings you're not going to like." The other team is all casual and wayyy too friendly and fellow-kidsy, like "Did someone say MEMES?" (to which most reasonable people respond "fuck you Elon/Spez, you're not funny")

This is why I tell people to dump pitchers of water on Reddit employees if you meet one at a bar in Frisco. Also rub shit on the HQ front doors handle. Make them extra pissed off.

Oh, you can get banned here. It's not like this is like a place of free speech. It's just that the internet is kind of created little pockets of echo chambers. It is what it is. And like it was always going to be like that anyways. I just like it that it's not monetized by corporations that are bombing the shit out of children.
