I once created a LPT post about how rotating different shampoos can help prevent your body from developing tolerance (this is still a great LPT by the way; if you have dandruff or some other bodily condition like dry skin and your shampoo or lotion loses efficacy over time, try buying a few different types and rotating your usage so you don’t develop tolerance). Aaaanyway, my post got deleted for being “medical advice.” Reddit kids are the worst.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

That's like an actual advice I got from an hairdresser when I was younger. Absolutely cleared my dandruff issue
Interesting! I’ll keep that knowledge somewhere. I have psoriasis. So, thanks!
That's not a Reddit thing, you'll find Lemmy mods here who would ban you for less. And probably elsewhere too.
I find the topic itself dumb honestly, so garbage in, garbage out. If anything, if I were a mod I'd remove the OP, unless the sub is for stupid topic, in which case they can't complain about stupid answers. Again, not Reddit specific.
I read about a similar situation recently ... a thread where people were joking around about NSFW stuff and someone commented "that guy must be hung" (as in "big member") and got suspended for hate speech / inciting violence because the mod apparently thought they meant "go hang that guy" (as in execute).
So yes, context matters greatly, especially when dealing with snarky comments and reactions to shitposts, where people usually aren't as serious.
When people don't know the difference between hung and hanged, unnecessary bans happen.
Huh my dog just alerted like he heard something.
I did not see that coming
Bro, I don’t know how to tell you this…but I think you’re dog’s a Nazi.

User makes worst joke ever, asked to leave reddit.
That's a pretty average joke when talking about such absurd hypotheticals.
Still, I think my own joke's funny.
The "would you" was lame. The joke was pedestrian.
It's all extremely underwhelming. 0/5 all around.

Consider deleting your account fully
Ironically, you can only access that by using the reddit app...
I got it to work by opening in my mobile Firefox based browser and going into desktop mode, so clearly r€ddit isn't doing good enough work to block people from accessing it.
I uninstalled Reddit
What?
I only browsed Reddit from my phone. I have a nice computer, but she’s for gaming. I mean obviously she can do more, but I have a keyboard where I only connect the wasd side. If I want to use Reddit I have to connect the other side of the keyboard.
I got perma banned on my original account for telling someone to "crawl back in their hole"
Apparently that's "telling someone to kill themselves"
At least that's what the power tripping mod told me.
This is my second temporary ban. I have a similar username on Reddit. A couple of people were saying that I was a trash human for having this username. So I told one of them “I love you. I unironically hope you have a long and happy life. I hope that all the good things happen to you.”
That apparently is harassment.
It's an awesome name. I wonder if people were pissed off about the muhammad part, the Jesus part, or the gay sex part?
Well, it’s weird how each religion chose to interact with me. I have had that account for over 6 years. So, I’ve had quite a bit of experience.
The Muslims were interesting. Mostly, I would get a private message, and someone would politely ask if I would change my name. This happened like 4 or 5 times. They would explain that they found my username offensive, and explain how it wasn’t ok, but in the end would just say it was my choice and go away.
The slightly more serious Muslims would send me a private message to tell me that someone would be relieving me of my head. They would unleash a tirade calling me something horrible. That only happened like 2 times I think.
Christians on the other hand are usually content to pay me no mind. But, when they do feel froggy it’s always very public and more like getting ganked. Several show up it’s a whole thing.
But, I try to avoid those situations. I’m old by internet standards. I really try to spend most of my time. Sharing my old person knowledge and generally trying to be helpful.
I originally made this username as a joke, because my partner took my other username and filled it with porn subs.
Honestly that's pretty bad compared to some of the times I got banned over the years. I got banned once for pointing out that a post about not wanting to talk to men about feminism was toxic and detrimental to spreading understanding of ideas. The mods of some of the subs will just ban you for saying something is illogical.
Same. I once pointed out some toxic femininity on TwoXChromosomes and got permabanned. Talk about double standards...
I once asked a question in twox (something innocuous like "was that before or after you went to the restaurant", I don't remember exactly) and got perma banned for derailing
The mods of some of the subs will just ban you
Yup.
I got perma-banned for pointing out that if we wanted to find out if ancient execution methods worked there were plenty of child molesters around.
Literally the next day their was a huge thread at the top of the technology subreddit saying all kinds of shit like that about printer company executives. I appealed asking what the difference was and all I got back was a canned response. I checked a few days later and all the comments on that thread were still there.
The only conclusion I can make from this is that Reddit wants to be a safe space for child molesters specifically which seems pretty sus to me.
I used to mod some big subs and saw one of the dumbest ways the admins banned someone.
So one of the mods I knew posted a video of a picture containing a microwave with Alvin & The Chipmunks photoshopped in. The video had audio of a microwave turned on with high pitched screaming too.

That 14 second video he posted on a sub he modded got the admins to permanently ban him across Reddit and then refuses to ever reply to him when he asked why. It was perfectly acceptable for that subreddit too.
Hell I even started a conversation with some admins for some other issues and asked them about it. They ignored that question completely lol.
I don't regret leaving that site. I do regret modding big subs tho lmao.
This happened in holup. One of the most ridiculous subs. I mean since they got rid of spacedicks and watchpeopledie. You know, all the good stuff.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/MsJCTNvPZVM?si=66xVCf1ho13mIzbN
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Reddit mods are paid not in money, but in the smallest amount of power you can imagine. That dynamic most often attracts stupid people who are willing to work for free and want to abuse that power.
This filter makes for the worst combination at the magic the gathering subr. With the kind of people who get over competitive and complicated about low ELO magic, finding the ones who want to be internet police really leaves the dreggs in charge.
MuhammadJesusGaySex isn't a pathetic attempt at instigating people or anything...
0/10
And reposting this after getting voted down is even worse. What kind of sadness is your life???
I, for one, welcome our gay sex prophet overlords. In fact, my religion of "Gay Sex Prophetism" requires it. However, we strongly believe fish must have a sex and "Potato fish" is extremely insulting.
blonde haired blue eyed child
88 million dollars
I wonder if the post was actually a dog whistle for other people that sympathize with Nazis. Sus af
Probably looking too much into it.
I don’t know. The original post was removed. The mods put a note on it saying the the child had actually been abused. So, I don’t know if I was supposed to know who he was or what.

Here is what’s left of the original post.
i got banned from a sports team subreddit for being upset about the team. that's how sports works
Weird, I always got permabanned for similar jokes.
They really started cracking down on dark humor right around the time they first told 3P developers just how hard they were fucking them over. My guess is that it's part of the overall enshittification plan - sterilization of all posts in preparation for the IPO.
Ironically, my appeal to my last permaban went through during the blackout in June. I got an email about it, but I never bothered to log back in.
