Speedrunning a permaban on my 15 year old account. How many days do you think it will take?

      That’s why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.

        My 12 year old account got permanently suspended after an alt got a ban from r/entertainment for disagreeing with someone. Neither of us warranted a ban. Since I couldn’t block the sub from the news feed I accidentally commented again in the sub with my banned account not realizing the sub I was in. Then I commented with my main and got permanently banned. I appealed but didn’t get a response. This all happened over the course of a month or so and left an awful taste in my mouth.

    Please let them implode.

    I want Lemmy to have niche content. I’m tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.

      yeah i always like the beginning of a new platform in the first few years where everyone is just having fun before the hoards come and commercialization happens.

      That’s exactly what we need to take from this. Not that money is in control and that’s why they’re cracking down, but that they’re cracking down because they’re scared.

      They can be scared, but unless ten, fifty, or one hundred green Mario brothers appear nothing will change.

      Reddit is more okay with people where we have indisputable video of them killing someone else in cold blood than someone who police just say trust us bro he did it.

      Amazing how the admins react to things

    so would this work if I made a comment then edited it?

    I’m thinking it would be fucking hilarious to go on conservative and get them to upvote it only to edit it to say something like, “Luigi is a hero!”, then they just start banning all the bots and conservatives.

    Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?

      Not even really cowardice when you consider how bare bones their staff is. Even if they gave a shit about users, real monetization costs money and Reddit hates spending.

      most tech should be considered state media at this point. during covid i said something about omicron being more transmissible than the original variant even in vaccinated people (true statement) - perma banned with no warning. now if you don’t immediately condemn “hate” towards nazis you are also banned/warned lol

    hey so i started looking at a new place because I’m tired of reddit and the people on it… My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn’t even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy’s back is turned on your icon you’re in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren’t showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don’t know if this is related to luigi but it’s some weird nonsense.

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, reading content that breaks the rules is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, thinking about breaking the law is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, protesting human rights violations is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, being an unapproved minority is also considered a violation.”

    “While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, not drinking enough verification cans is also considered a violation.”

    They’re scared. Spez knows his neck is on the line in a more literal fashion than ever.

      While you didn’t post the rule-breaking content, not buying a Tesla is also considered a violation.

      Ahhhhhhhhh now I see what the enforcement angle is on orangeboi declaring that an “illegal boycott” (a term that makes roughly as much sense as “aerodynamic bedsheet”)

    Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.

    HELL YES COMRADE, FIGHT THE POWER

    fr though, this is such a badass way to get banned. don’t even reply to them - just keep doing the thing, post, and watch as every pathetic attempt at intimidation gets hundreds of defiant upvotes here.

    Don’t get permabanned! Sell your precious account first ;) it will be used to spam on Reddit and you’ll get some money, it’s a win-win situation!

      theres a forum where people will buy accts, but they wont buy one that is tainted or flagged though, they prefer new accts, or old accts with good standing. reddit will still catch them eventually though.
