Removed by mod
I’m not using it anymore but good to know
“appeal” just means you are gonna waste time typing a message to a smelly incel dog walker on a power trip that isn’t gonna read it. Fuck that place.
!redditalternatives
That’s real fuckin bullshit.
Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?
I imagine they’re banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.
Just FYI, sub level bans have nothing to do with the admins, that’s all on the mods.
The Nazi admins won.
For now.
Nah, we aren’t taking back Reddit. It’s going to die off with those idiots still in control.
Precisely my point.
If I get banned for silly comments I’ll find a new instance.
I’ve never been banned
Reddit is trash
I got one for insiding violence, and it was something that everybody could fucking agree on, like punching Nazis or something. I don’t remember what it was so long ago. It’s fucking bullshit though.
Hey if spez wants another shithole site full of Nazis, more power to him.
I got a permaban for posting a link to Trevor Moore’s song time for guillotines in response to a guy asking for song recommendations for some random mandatory work bullshit where they are force to chose a song to play… apparently the word “guillotine” is the reddit equivalent to running over a baby with a lawn mower. I had no warnings or anything on that account, just poof permaban.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Good bot
TBf, they were probably worried about you getting every man, woman, and child in America to gangrape Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell until they died. There’s a line about it in the funny song, therefore it’s a real threat.
I got one for saying we should destroy a bridge in Königsberg in the name of Euler.
This is a reference to a famous problem in graph theory. This problem has been ruined since they built an extra bridge. It was an obvious joke in context, to an audience that would understand the joke.
Unfortunately, Reddit’s so-called “Anti-Evil Operations” team doesn’t look at context and said I was inciting terrorism.
They permanently banned me for saying we should be more progressive and intellectual as a country. Someone complained that I was “inciting people to violence,” (?!?!!) for saying this. They never bothered to read anything I posted. So, to hell with Reddit and its scummy staff of moderators - they are the absolute worst people imaginable.
Is this new? I had a similar experience where I was banned and had to go hunting to try and find what it might have been. I really had no idea; I still don’t.
One sub that banned me, for what I felt was a completely unjust reason, told me the process for lifting it was to write what would have been a 10 page letter/research paper going into why I was wrong and they were right. I wasn’t going to spend hours of my life bending a knee to power hungry mods who were asking me to lie to them to inflate their own egos, so I moved on with my life. I replied to a joke comment with another on-topic joke in a sub that allowed for jokes… I can’t and won’t say I was wrong about that.
I didn’t even get a msg, just a big banner that says account suspended in big red background on-top of the website
I never talk about my exes. Yesterday’s gone. It’s a new day. Long live Lemmy!
I got permabanned on there after a mod took a “liking” to me over a pretty innocuous comment about a guitar pedal… something like “I dont need that pedal because I have X and it does the same thing”. Faceache followed me around other subs trying to stir shit up with other mods. A couple messaged me to say “we dont want drama, can you stop?” as I hadnt realised he was doing it until then. Others just took it at face value and about a week later I had the above message pretty much word for word.
Mods abuse power is a thing, it happens to even here in Lemmy.
Though thankfully in Lemmy normal user has potential power to fight back with their own instance if they wish.
Yeah or make just make another account on a different instance or the same instance. Either way Mod abuse is significantly easier to overcome on the Fediverse.
If you were actually harassing somebody I couldn’t care less. When you’re banned what does that look like though? Can you not view anything?
Sounds like you’ve never been banned in Reddit. You don’t realise how differently mods on power trip understand the word “harrassment”. Or anything else.
Reddit is a trash place in general.
I was permanently banned on my first account of 11 years for saying “everyone would want to punch Nazis”, no prior issues ever, the appeal was instantly rejected. I was permanently banned on my next account for making the mistake of saying I was banned on my other account about 2 years after the fact. From that point on I was fully IP banned so I could only use Reddit with a VPN made account. If I ever accidentally logged in on my computer because I forgot, even years later, instantly banned. All because I said Nazis should get punched. As far as I’m concerned, this all started when China got involved in Reddit via Tencent and Ellen Pao. Reddit just, BY TOTAL RANDOM COINCIDENCE, became super defensive about anything China or communist related and started handing out bans any time people said no no words (sounds like TikTok to me.)
ip ban wears off after a month or two
nope, just tested over 3 months, account flagged in about 12 hours
No they don’t. I can say that with confidence as it happened several times. The reason was always “ban evasion” and there were several months in between. So either someone else used the IP in that time and got banned and refreshed it, or you’re just wrong.
Huh.
I had the same thing happen. Even a ten year account I didn’t use was included and any I made for a few weeks. So I left new qccounts alone and only used my banned account to view for quite awhile, then decided to make another account one day and it’s been working fine for quite a few months now. I made sure to not add all the same subs I used to have and just slowly integrated what I wanted back in.
Maybe it was longer than a couple months now that I think about it, but I still think there is a limit.
Yeah. Reddit went downhill…
Reddit was literally created to be a hangout for pedo nazis. Reddit never fell, it was never good.

Yeah suuuuure… 😅😅😅
The message and the is sitewide and from reddit. Subreddit mods weren’t involved
About 3 months ago I was banned for saying “People have the right to use like force to defend themselves against an attacker, including using deadly force. It’s not a happy outcome. But neither is being a victim.” It was a comment on an article about a homeowner who killed a burglar, so context is king. /r/news banned me and reported me for “threatening violence”. Then I got an account warning (whatever that means) by Reddit.
When I contacted the admin team, I got a ban for abusive reporting.
%reddit%.com is now blocked in my DNS. Fuck those fucks, they don’t even deserve my ad revenue from searches.
Reddit has a strict nonviolence in comments policy, whether it be in support of self defence, or defence of others. Exclusions apply to some extent in supporting state sanctioned police and military violence.
they’re not OK with violence except this type of violence which is an overwhelming type of violence
But yeah fr fr they only reason they banned /thedickhead is because they started going after the cops. Extremely mask off considering all the other shit they said leading up to that point was way more violent but it was against people they didn’t like so it was permissible.
Yet they let the post about the break in and shooting be posted. You just can’t comment on what was in the post? How stupid Reddit has become.
And then they turn around and host tons of fight subs showing video of people getting the tar beat out of them. If that’s what adults want to watch then more power to them but so much for the whole “no mentions of violence are allowed” rule.
It’s not that strict. There was a thread full of people advocating the torture and murder of HP printer executives for their printer bullshit and nothing happened to any of them. I know because I was banned the day before for saying something similar about child molesters and kept an eye on that thread. I asked what the difference was in my appeal and just got their canned response that the ban was going to be upheld. Reddit admins care about specifically creating a safe space for child molesters… for some reason…
I said that I would smack someone from a story, and clearly in a figurative way. Banned for promoting physical violence. Okay?
(I’ve never hit anyone ever, by the way.)
You’re right. I haven’t been banned on Reddit. I was more of a lurker though. Didn’t participate in any political/sexuality/gender things either.
Reddit admins’ definition of harassment now includes singular insults if the admin is feeling particularly power-trippy. Doesn’t even have to be a swear word, my last alt got permabanned for calling someone (who I’d never interacted with before) a moron.
Your account still works, you can still view everything (excluding those that have blocked you), but you have a banner at the top that says you’re banned and you can’t vote, post or comment. You can’t send messages or use chat either.
You can still edit your previous comments and posts.
Justified or not, reddit have clearly stepped up their banning protocols, around 6 months or so ago or maybe even late last year (ie before the planned API price rise, well before even the announcements).
Well then I’d like OP to share his comment history with us.
Why? Even in a world where OP is an asshole Reddit should still tell you what comment is getting you banned and give you the opportunity to dispute it. That’s the main problem here, unilateral decisions you never have any insight on.
True, but I hate getting people riled up and commenting, if in the end this guy was actually just a POS.
Edit: The web archive history shows they post in all the same type of communities and like talking about all of the same stuff that will get you the same end result here on Lemmy. Just seems like a human thing at this point when discussing politics/gender/sexuality. Like most other places it seems to take just a handful of people reporting you and you’re gone.
If they’re banned, then you won’t see their comments on their profile, just a banned icon. They might not see them on their own profile either on new reddit, however they can still access their profile on old reddit. This shows 1,000 comments in each list (New, Top, Hot, Controversial, with the date filters) but not necessarily everything.
Incidentally, the tools most people used to edit/delete their reddit history only targeted these lists, so they’d quite often miss things - if you had a profile with lots of comments over a long time, with old comments that had low but not controversial karma, then these wouldn’t end up in your profile lists. As of late 2022/early 2023. Aside from all the comments reddit restored after people deleted (which they blamed on their CDN issues, as if that somehow absolved them), many people thought they’d deleted everything but in fact they’d left plenty of comments behind. They then deleted their accounts and now cannot access them, the vast majority are probably unaware.
You should still be able to see their comments and posts where they are, so long as they haven’t been removed. However whatever got them banned was no doubt also removed.
Even if you’re banned, you can still make GDPR requests, which Reddit is required to comply with. They include your entire comment history.
Yep, and, at least until the API change, you could feed that into tools to make sure you got all of them. I didn’t see any of the comments I deleted in this way restored, however I did see comments restored when using the tools on my profile.
Id rather confess to the murder
LMFAO.
“Your account still works”
lists all the many many ways your account no longer works
Lol yeah. But mainly you still have all your subscribed subreddits, multireddits and all that. Going from the front page of an account you’ve built up over many years to the latest default reddit can be a bit of a shock.
Like I say though, the more annoying thing is the way it’s supposed to be a passive reddit experience, but all the buttons for voting and replying are still there. Yet, if you click them you get a pop up reminding you, and you can’t scroll again until you dismiss it. They should just remove the buttons.
IMO those are the least important aspects of an account. It takes very little time to resub to a list of subs you have right in front of you and turn them into a new multi. Overall the way bigger issue here is: everyone get the fuck off Reddit it’s fucking trash.

Depends how many subreddits. There are maybe tools around to make it a little easier, but you have to find them and dig them out of github.

Yes to reddit being trash, but I wouldn’t be so exclusive. Sometimes you need to dig through the trash. Just be sure to remember that it’s trash, and wash yourself afterwards.
I can’t fathom going back to being a user there, it’s just too abusive and such a bad experience, but I’ll use old threads that come up on Google for their information, sure.
It’s very easy to fall into the habit of reading a conversation and wanting to chime in. But yeah, the nature of the conversation on reddit has definitely changed over the years. The irony is that this is probably somewhat astroturfed to “increase user engagement”, when it is ultimately driving users away.
Last I checked I could still vote, just not coming on anything
Our automated bot will take a second look.
