Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it’s the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.
FUCK YOU, SPEZ!
Please don’t bring that attitude to lemmy. I just want peace. I honestly don’t know what you did but chances are its not going to be welcome here
Am I the only one who wants it to stay exactly like it is?
Maybe a weird take coming from a recent redditfugee butnbint feels perfect as is. Like reddit read before all the enshittifcation like 8 years ago.

This just shows that you don’t know about or understand the genesis of lemmy itself.
The primary contributors/developers are tankies. I strongly disagree with their views, but I like the software, because it’s FOSS, and it actually does something pretty cool.

which niche porn communities are you looking for
Many niche subs, have been forcibly removed during the protest era.
lmao, nothing, just some more obscure games
Right but which porn games
Yume nikki, probably
I think I will play that game someday
Probably something basic like corruption of champions or trapquest
The obscure videogame subreddits are what I miss the most. Made one here on lemmy for a game I love and only one other person has commented since July.
Well if you share it here maybe people will join :)
If it has posts occasionally, it might also show up on All.
LOL I love how oddly specific the porn subreddits are.

It was banned for not being moderated. Fucking RIP
I finally overwrote all my comments and deleted my account. 16 years there, but as soon as I checked the front page this week before deleting, every comment and post was the same old “this” and “take my upvote” and vitriolic hate toward different or uncommon opinions, zero dialogue, such a mess
Thanks lemmings
You forgot “and my axe”, “to shreds you say” and “I wish they didn’t remove awards so I could give you one”, or maybe even the ‘rare’ “take my angry upvote and leave”?
Yeah I like that we can actually hold real conversations here, as far as ‘real’ goes of course.
You forgot “this is the way”
^^ This
Take my upvote and get out.
Thanks for the gold kind stranger! (Well not anymore hehe)
Yup. It feels like I am usually talking to individuals here, which is much more enjoyable than flailing in an overwhelming monoculture.
Y’indeed I love seeing notifications here and reload every few minutes to see if someone replied to me (not now obviously because I’m high and forgot to reply to you earlier and it’s also taking me a good few minutes to type up this reply).
On Reddit I usually hoped that everyone upvoted, of course, and that none of them reply. Especially when I argumented with someone, because I’m actually really bad at argumenting about things I perceive as negative. […]
The rest is just a stoned tirade (I didn’t want to delete it because I find it amusing), there’s no Tl;Dr to be made, just don’t read it unless you choose to make me a god and want to use the genoxidedev1 lore to practice that new religion. Anyways:
[…] I’m also bad at argumenting about things I’m good at, which only leaves me being good at argumenting about things I’m bad at, but I’f im good at argumenting about things I’m bad at it would mean that I’m good at argumenting about me argumenting about things I’m good at, so, if we use that logic for all the other things I could be doing I’m actually the best at everything. Wow. I just lost an argument against myself, cool or something.

That was quick, thanks! Have one back

2 people giving me positive status effects in such little time, I wonder what the boss fight is gonna be…
how do you see reply notifications on kbin
“I wish they didn’t remove awards so I could give you one”
That’s a new one to me! Because they still had awards the last time I used it.
Yea that’s just what replaced the “Have my poor mans gold 🏅” now, which still somehow comes up too.
I also choose to beat this mans dead horse
Hold my updoot, I’m going in
Plenty of that shit on here mate
And pun chains, and a guy quoting a Simpsons episode followed by 12 more idiots quoting the rest of the episode. Painful. I see that shit in lemmy but not nearly as much.
Just make sure to check again in a day or two. At the height of the purge, reddit was shown to be restoring deleted or over-written comments to what they were before.
I know that they were restoring deleted accounts, but I don’t think there’s any way for them to restore over written comments to previous versions, so overwritten comments are probably more important than actually deleting the account, although you can delete it after you overwrite everything.
Nothing is ever deleted from Reddit and edits are stored. Deleting it doesn’t actually delete it, it just marks it as deleted.
This is information coming directly from Reddit devs/admins over the years.
Can you link to evidence of comments being timestamped, restored or archived by reddit? I’ve read about both deletes being reversible and edits being stored, but I found no incontrovertible evidence for comment iterations being stored or recovered, although there seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence for deleted accounts being easily restored by admins, which would make sense.
No because I can’t be bothered. Its common knowledge and again, this comes from multiple confirmations even from spez himself.
I’ve heard that repeated, but I haven’t seen any evidence of it with regards to overwritten comments. Deletions, yes, but so far there doesn’t seem to be any cause for concern for restoring overwritten comments.
I had stopped using Reddit but hadn’t deleted my account, your comment reminded me to do that. Just deleted it. :)
Nice. The increase in content is not worth the headache and tedium.
I evaded my lifetime ban for more than 5 years on my new main.
The hell are you posting there?!Yeah these posts by people who consistently get banned always have me feeling a little skeptical (no shade on OP if legit).
Like what did they do tho
I just went to check and it looks like they were banned for asking somebody to kill themselves…? Feels like maybe they shouldn’t be doing that, regardless of whether or not they were on their fifth account.
And the thing is Reddit doesn’t go straight for the perma. A user generally has to have a history of warnings and smaller bans first.
I know this doesn’t apply to all but it applies to many: I used to mod a sub that I made like 15 years ago and I have seen the worst behavior from people over the years - deranged people who feel they are the center of the world and behave in insane ways - they disappear after a small admin ban and when it’s over, they’ll come back even stupider and angrier. And the best, the best, the best and most predictable part is when they portray it as being banned over one thing. No, it was a banning for a pattern of being a heinous cretin.
From what we see in this very post and comments, it fits the archetype.
I wonder if it might be one or two admins who power trip. They’re just as human as the rest of us after all.
Powertripping or just arbitrarily making poorly thought out split decisions.
Nothing ;-; I am chill, I swear, I was just a bit toxic in my first account
A bit?
Feels like there is more to the story.
What’d you get banned for?
I got banned for telling some right wing troll to go fuck themselves and can’t get around their ban evasion now either. Reddit got really soft and bans for any “personal attack”
Reddit got really soft and bans for any “personal attack”
Can you get around it if you suffix every comment with “Nothing personal.”
Fuck you. Nothing personal.
To be extra sure, also preface it:
No offense, but fuck you. Nothing personal.
You mean, “nothing personnel, kid”
You can definitely get around it, but is it really worth the effort?
reddit if they cared as much about actually toxic comments:
And this place isn’t? I was banned for the following comment the other day:
Can’t find a single link to methodology or what the population was. Unless my Google is horrific I would take this with a grain of salt. Men are definitely overrepresented. However in my 15 years of experience working in the field I’ve seen maybe one overt case of sexism. I can count on one hand times where I’ve heard a “under the radar” type problematic statement that I’ve needed to address. I do not believe this data is representative of anything in the US or EU from my personal experiences.
Good. This is a simple fucking trademark case and the union is going to lose hard. A first year JV could win this.
I even got one calling me genocidal but can’t see it. I would love to see what I said that was genocidal lol.
Lol ignore the data listen to my datum!
Or:
“How anecdotal data makes you more smarter and correcter!”
I have a feeling this place is just like Reddit and Twitter before Elon, probably a ton of Democrat AKA government influence
This was my experience with lemmy.world too.
Are you serious?
that’s fucked
deleted by creator
Same, but it was a kys to some guy I had a beef for some time, I really wonder what a reddit admin was doing looking at a NSFW AI subreddit because that ban was way too fast and no one claimed the deed in the comments even the guy who I was discussing with lol
I really wonder what a reddit admin was doing looking at a NSFW AI subreddit
I mean, at worst he was spanking it to AI porn.
Just like you.
I wasn’t lol
I got banned for telling left wing trolls to go fuck themselves.
I guess we equaled out lol
Reddit got me for harassment, agreed on Reddit got really soft
bans should be for illegal activity, overt harassment, targeting someone or something to that nature, getting a little heated shouldn’t resort to a ban
open discussion without the threat of getting banned is the American way
Yeah, with a username like that I can guess it wasn’t just that. It’s likely the blatant anti-semitism you’re broadcasting
username
delete your account, fascist
JewGoblin? Odd?
I once posted a theory that Deckard HAD to be a replicant because of the way genetics actually works (him having a child in 2049 proves it, I mean).
A mod called my comment a “Luke warm take for piss brains” and removed it, so I told him to go fuck himself. Banned, not just from the sub, but from all of reddit.
I got banned for suggesting an obnoxious political troll who ruined every holiday might just need a punch in the mouth to correct his behavior.
Reddit is a lost cause.
Sadly yeah
I still use it as a read-only debugging tool through search engines. It’s great for finding a way to open up your 2009 dell laptop and replacing the WiFi antenna
Start your niche community on lemmy then advertise it in some other groups. You might be surprised how much better it is here.
Got banned for harassing mods because I was asking why I got banned automatically for participating in a different subreddit. As soon as I sent my second request asking why I was banned, I got permabanned.
Me too, they are far too quick to bring out the perma ban. My 10 year old account went from a minor subreddit ban (for asking why a mod banned someone else) to global perma ban within 12 hours. In fairness I reported the mod and said he’s a neckbeard but that shit isn’t worth of global perma lol.
Overall, I think this is good news for lemmys future tbh
I got banned by a bot because I went into an antivax subreddit to question them. The fact I posted on a “forbidden” subreddit got me auto banned by about a dozen subreddits, instantly. Then I forgot I was banned by one of them and months later posted with another account and got permabanned for ban evasion.
Fuck reddit, petty tyrants.
Absolutely killing me right now to watch what’s going on in /r/worldnews re: the Gaza Strip. Absolute echo chamber of reposted IDF propaganda, genocidal rhetoric against Palestinians - all calls for peace, any contextualization or describing the history of the conflict get permabanned and muted, appeals to admins are denied as usual. Meanwhile, international observers describing the situation as an ongoing genocide. What do you call censoring a community to support that, besides “incitement to genocide”?
Site should be forever abandoned, they have lost every last shred of credibility.
OMG me too!!! What the fuck!!!
Been getting /r/worldnews permabans recently for bringing any facts into the genocidal hatefest going on in /r/worldnews. Inquire why, silence. Message again, mute. I’ll break their TOS to go around that, anyone with a conscience should be.
It’s one thing when it’s just disagreeing about some political nuance or getting banned for name-calling. It’s another thing altogether when the only posts are war propaganda and genocidal rhetoric, the commenters are screaming to annihilate 2.4M people, and all disagreement is silenced.
They literally banned me for “abusing the report feature” like I’m sorry are you asking me NOT to report heinous bigotry?? Fuck reddit and fuck spez
Really damn
I’m in the process of deleting my posts in a few accounts in preparation to delete them.
Reddit isn’t the same place it was when I first signed up. On so many levels it proceeded to get worse year after year. Shitty mods, paid political bot brigading to drown out discussion, general discourse devolution, innovation decline of generally loved features are some of my biggest complaints of that platform.
Don’t get me wrong reddit was always a bit of anarchy, but the best comments somehow managed to rise up. Not so much anymore. Maybe I’m just getting old and some of the comment contents don’t interest me in the same way it used to.
I don’t mind being part of this community even though some of the sub’s have less activity. The activity seems to be of a better quality for the most part imho.
For me I don’t miss reddit at all.
I still have a bunch of accounts but it’s actually not a friendly site to use. I remember telling friends about it back in the day and they’d try and use the site, then they’d come back and be like “everyone on that site is an asshole.” I’d explain it in some dumb way but it’s basically true in essence. I even modded some default subs like 10 years ago and it was the first time I started hating the site.
Even hobby subs had these issues. Like the top post in r/synthesizers would be about some youtube personality and people debating about drama. People who post actual music and productive things don’t get upvoted. Saying you liked the “wrong” people got you made fun of. Super trend/hype based as well. I posted asking for advice for a product to buy once, and was heavily discouraged from getting what I thought was the right thing, I got it anyway, and now it’s basically a meme as the top recommended product for that purpose on that sub.
Basically moved to forums and discord servers for a lot of interests and it’s so much better than reddit. Early 2010s was the golden age for the site back when there’d be those reddit meetups and stuff.
The easiest way to lose interest in a new found hobby is look at it’s subreddit.
It’s also so fake, people performing the idea they’re successful at the hobby as a sort of feedback loop of validation. Posts about buying a thing or showing their stuff always gets more interest than someone engaging in the hobby, with the exception of influencer types or the upper echelon of aspiration.
Joining other communities… music and car related to be specific, I post a work in progress and get instant feedback and messages from people in the relevant scene to share their process etc. The influencers are in the mix with everyone else and are contributing things everyone can use.
I get the feels dude
I found it took about 3 months to get bored with a subreddit. That was about how long it took to see the same postings and comments cycling over and over.
Maybe they wouldn’t have problem with ban evasion if they weren’t giving out bans the drop of a hat
Everything is being automated. The Admins are automated. The mods are increasingly automated. The subs are filled with botspam. The comments (have always been, but are now overwhelmingly) filled with bot-chatter.
The end goal of Reddit is to automate away anything that might cut into the company’s bottom line. I’m convinced they’re going to functionally do away with the comments section sooner or later. Just set up a byzantine set of bureaucratic hurdles that no human can actually clear. Then all that’s left is the bots, and all you are allowed to do is look through the glass at the simulation.
That’s not exclusive to Reddit.
Looks at 196 here on Lemmy and their massive pissy baby ban list.
196?
196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
They are something else. Think like TheDonald was on Reddit, but for trans people and memes.
My first exposure to them was a thread by a mod saying that you MUST post absolute and unconditional not just approval, but promotion of what they say politically or you will be banned. It was fucking wild and nearly put me off Lemmy altogether.
You spent like a whole day arguing about what centrism is and calling everyone disagreeing with you stupid. That’s why you got banned from 196. You know all that is public, right?
I spent about an hour and kept getting reply notifications, just like the one I got now for this (now over a month old) post. I reply. I like to interact. It’s not arguing, it was legitimate discussion, and yes, I was discussing how people like to strawman others. To my mind, it was civil.
The message I got from the mod was - nearly word for word - “get the fuck out of here with that my children matter bullshit.”
I did not misrepresent the situation.
As an addendum, the thread were I was banned was not my first exposure to them. You may be conflating two interactions.
You eventually have to use a VPN to get around their IP bans but reddit isn’t worth the trouble
Just ask Spez’s best bud u/drewiepoodle about how to evade bans, they’re an expert.
Who is that? 🤔
Can’t you simply register an account on old.reddit without using email (they ask but you leave it empty) and after changing your IP with your VPN?
Doubt they’ve fixed that yet.
Not that there’s any point. If you’re not interacting with bots or copy-pasted comments, you’re interacting with morons and people who think internet points matter.
