My 10 year account got banned for voicing criticism of the fascist State of Israel
What got you banned?
I wasn’t banned, but I rolled over after 3rd party apps were taken away on the day they stopped working. I only use the app for it so taking that away made it pretty easy to stop and no i wasnt going to use their own because they forced my hand. Apps were limited on lemmy at that time and had to wait like 4 months before the one i used to use was released, but it was worth it.
Same. I was a Lurker+, reading a lot of content and discussion but only contributing and commenting to a few smaller / local subreddits.
Set up an RSS Feed for sports & my local subreddit (from old.reddit.com) and started using Lemmy in my browser. Now I use Boost. Haven’t logged back into reddit since.
It works for my wants.
I also use Boost. Love it and no need to look at any others IMO.
me too, thanks.
Reddit didn’t ban me, I banned them.
You… I like you!
After Reddit cut off api access to third-party apps, I left. Well, not right away, I did give RedReader a try for a month or so.
Basically the same for me. After they squashed the counter protests I decided “fuck them”.
20 year old account with probably 10k karma. Not much by today’s standards, but I gave it my best.
does karma mean anything? I got more from a single bad joke on a popular community
on reddit, its apparently makes your account more reliable as an actual user, so you wont get banned very easily. that is the theory, and does hold true to a certain point. reddit does detect/notice organic karma gain, and the ones that farm karma. and some subs require a certain amount of karma to engage in.
I always interpreted it as the number of people whose day I made slightly better. That’s a nice feeling.
Banned? No. Other way around. I banned reddit from my devices after the API fiasco.
there is a way, but its much more convoluted. different IP/device and browser is the usual method, as long as you are not repeating the same exact pattern as before. but why spend that money anyways, the only people that do are the ones using reddit to drive traffic to thier own sites/OF agency, of whom reddit is constantly playing cat and mouse in detecting them. i also have supsicion reddit preferentially dont ban aggresively against propaganda bots as much as the ones i mentioned above.
Banned for using a VPN for “ban evasion” but never had been banned before.
Appealed. No response.
I took that as a fuck off message.
reddit seems to have banned vpn use since early 2024.
I came here after the Reddit API mess but still posted on Reddit.
Got a temporary Reddit ban for a short statement saying Biden was caught genociding, then recently a permanent ban for saying the only way Trump is leaving office is if 100,000 people drag him out. “Inciting violence.”
303,000 comment karma, 8,388 post karma, 14+ years.
Going corporate is never good.
Left reddit in the api blockage
Now I spend my days shit chatting with MLs
I got ‘soft banned’.
I had stopped commenting on Reddit back in 2022 after receiving warnings on similar topics. Continued to lurk and scroll. Now reddit has an uncloseable popup on web telling me to use the app. So I don’t use reddit.
you would get banned if you logged in after a period of inactivity, i think many users noticed they got shadowbanned after using old accounts that went dormant and then suddenly became active. reddit was and still doing this since last year. allegedly its combat bot users who did the same method. it was noticed by a forum i visited on reddit bans/evasions.
Not banned but forced to use their shit app. They shut down Reddit is Fun, fuck them
Same here, I still have RIF installed too just so I can look at the icon and be sad.
This is not a banned users refuge.
Nah I was part of the app/api exodus.
I was sitewide banned for criticizing war thunder owner Gaijin on their own subreddit by saying they are biased to make russian vehicles always perform better than other nations at the same battle rating.
As far as I understood from others it’s because subreddit mods have the power to sitewide ban… For some ridiculous reason. And in this case nobody at Reddit gave a damn or dared confront someone as big as Gaijin for someone as little as me.
Edit: at least I think that’s why. Reddit bans are ambiguous as fuck. I remember trying to figure out why exactly but the message was similar to “banned because you broke tos” or some bullshit like that, with no link to an actual comment.
Reddit does seem to give subreddit mods a good deal of credit in their flags of users.
But a lot of it is dishonest, if you get traction criticizing a powerful group, they will find an unrelated reason to ban you. Because we have no rights to fair enforcement of the rules, they don’t have to bother to make their accusations believable.
Israel is the main one I’m familiar with that they do this for, but all sorts of other stuff too.
Oh yea. If you as much as bring up the word goy you get shadowbanned immediatelly afaik.
16 years, voluntarily killed my account.
I got perma banned because I said Nazis deserve to die.
I got a 7 day ban for criticizing the current administration. Then I responded with go fucj yourself to the mod team and got my ban.
Not sorry.
Reddit admins, go fuck yourselves
