How would you handle Reddit admins (paid employees of Reddit) visiting and playing along with Lemmy and the Fediverse?

 

I use LibreWolf mainly because it handles fingerprinting and tracking blocking well and is open source. I also do not want Tor-related stuff because I don't want to risk going to illegal websites. So do you know any LibreWolf alternatives for mobile and Android that handle fingerprinting and tracking blocking well, automatically delete cookies and are open source?

 
 

Hello, when I search in the search bar for some words, the results are not fully related. For example, if I filter it by Posts or Comments, the results are still inaccurate.

 

This feels like an interesting topic to discuss. Do you think the moderation here is stricter than on Reddit? I am talking about moderation from mods and admins. I also saw removed by mod comments where there was a 90% chance that the commenter was banned. So what do you think is stricter in moderation?

 

I am not advocating for ban evasion.

Reddit has implemented a powerful ban evasion filter that catches ban evaders who use alternate accounts to post on a subreddit they were banned from. Though, the same cannot be said for sitewide suspensions. While simply using a fingerprinting-blocking browser that deletes cookies every time you close the browser, you can circumvent a sitewide suspension, but evading a subreddit ban seems impossible.

So why does Reddit prevent circumventing a subreddit ban while they are okay with sitewide suspension evasions? Don't get me wrong, I respect Reddit for not being too punishing to its users, but it still feels weird that they gave moderators so much power while administrators don't use it at all. Mind explaining their choices?

Again, I am not advocating for ban evasion, and please do not circumvent a ban.

 

Remember the people who edited their comments where it said that they were editing their comments to protest? Then they deleted their accounts.

What if you people who mass-edited your comments edited it instead with [ Removed by Reddit ]? Like, you edit all of your comments (not posts) with [ Removed by Reddit ], so if people see your comment that has lots of upvotes replaced by [ Removed by Reddit ], then they will think Reddit is censoring information.

This is kind of accurate because Reddit is known for removing random information and punishing people for ridiculous reasons. This feels like an effective way to protest. So what is your opinion about this idea?

Accidentally commented on a subreddit I was banned from another account. Quickly deleting it still didn't work. The mods reported it to the admins, thus you know.

I thought unionize meant un-ion-izing things, like ions from molecules and metals.

I am talking about everyone's Snoovatars, not just mine, though, thank you for your comfort :)

I typed this is a test on my main account where my alternate account was banned, and I quickly deleted it because I was testing whether I could comment, but the mods reported it to Reddit and got my account permanently suspended. Since I was previously banned for vote manipulation and report abuse, I got IP banned, so I can no longer make new accounts.

I cannot because my account is suspended for reasons Reddit could've prevented.

 

Reddit is unlike other platforms: Snoovatars. While old.reddit.com users can easily leave Reddit, people like me who use new.reddit.com enjoy seeing Snoovatars and how adorable they look. Many other sites have ugly profiles and bland formatting, but what makes Reddit great is the playfulness of the avatars because you feel like you are talking to your alien friends. I cannot live without seeing their faces :(
