auto-bans like that are so dumb because it could be I went into some not-allowed sub and said "wow, this sucks, everyone here is a deluded idiot" and then you get banned from some other sub for "participating" in the Bad one.

Which honestly is a bunch of horseshit, because what's it to them if you view/comment in another sub that the mods disagree with. I got banned from a number of subs for dropping into r/conservative and calling out people's shit, cause apparently acknowledging their existence a no-no. Good riddance lol

[–] bus_factor@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I got banned from some sub for calling out people on their shit in some post on the front page. I didn't even realize what sub I was commenting in. Didn't matter of course, and my appeal got ghosted.

[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago

POV: you came across a post from r/politicalcompassmemes on the front page, and responded to someone who claimed the Jews control the media by saying "fuck off, moron"


You have been banned from r/PerformativeSoapboxMemes for the following reason:

"radical centrism / bothsiding genocide"

This ban will not expire.

Wait, I don't understand, what did I do wrong? I don't even go to your subreddit, I had no idea it existed

--

literally just admit yall r phobic against islam and trxns folx instead of SEALIONING to us, we may unban u if u sumbit a 500 word essay on what u did wrong

--

You have been muted by the moderators of r/PerformativeSoapboxMemes for 72 hours

Your Reddit account has been permanently suspended for violating Reddit's policy against harassment

I've had that for posting on subs like Conservative and PCM - then I realised I don't particularly want to participate in a sub that would ban me for calling out fascistic stupidity in an entirely unrelated space.

[–] Clbull@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I've been banned before for having posted on the Red Pill subreddit about a decade ago. Best one was being banned from /r/justiceserved because I posted on the SubredditCancer subreddit before, and apparently they're a "hate sub"

[–] toasteecup@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

That happened to me, I got a preemptive ban from a safe venting sub for calling out a bad faith post on a right wing sub. Dafuq.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

And sometimes that happened ten years prior.

[–] wewbull@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

...for "participating" in the Bad one.

I think you might need to be more specific.

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the_donald, conservative, fatpeoplehate...

[–] wewbull@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I meant, the sub that banned you also qualifies under the title of "the bad one".

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I mean from their perspective. They think they're castigating you for posting in the Bad Sub.

Also the real malicious actors already have those bots blocked so lot of good they do when Reddit locks access to profiles of blocked users, actually a pretty good feature though since it allows for people to combat this kind of abuse if they are proactive enough.

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 1 points 1 year ago

And even if it was the worst sub imaginable you shouldn't ban people for what they do outside of your jurisdiction (maybe if it's being a actual nazi and you have clear evidence of that)

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I got auto banned by some random sub I didn't even know about until it informed me of the ban for participating in another sub, after posting a comment on /r/conservative that also got me banned from that sub (on purpose and worth it). I had a laugh because that's some serious bullshit and because the sub didn't even have 100 subscribers.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's just begging to get trolled by an alt account.

[–] vanderbilt@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

I always found it ironic because even if you're just poking the bear you still get banned by some random subreddit.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There's still a Reddit 196? I thought they shut down and moved here after the API changes

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I was surprised when I saw they opened up again. And not even a link to here or anything. Does anyone know what's up with that?

[–] vankappa@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they had a vote asking people (on reddit) if they wanted it to reopen or not. Lmao

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

hmm, I wonder if asking all the people that stayed behind after the exodus might skew the poll at all, lmao

[–] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 year ago

Probably would've gotten the same result even if you asked the absent users. Lemmy 196 is nice and lively as far as Lemmy goes, but it's no match to reddit's userbase, and that one has clearly gotten tired of the protest after a while.

[–] CJOtheReal@ani.social 6 points 1 year ago

Didn't the Admins of reddit just kill off accounts of mods that don't comply with reopening?

[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

Reddit admins reopen sub & kicked the mods then appointed new mods across many subs that didn't comply.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait there are bots like this??? Thats some peak braindead move from the mods.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

They're very popular in the auth left spaces of reddit (and some that claim to not be auth left but that's a convo for another time)

You'll get banned for having a post history or comment history in the wrong subreddits the first time you try to make a post or comment

Funnily enough most of the right wing subreddits I tested (I was really bored) didn't have those bots firing off

Of course I did my testing last year, but I doubt it's changed

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Funnily enough most of the right wing subreddits I tested (I was really bored) didn’t have those bots firing off

Nah, they'll just permaban you for disagreeing in any way.

[–] wewbull@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

COVID was the auth left everywhere, at least in social circles.

[–] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Big big oof.

[–] usualsuspect191@lemmy.ca 11 points 1 year ago

Pretty amazing you got the text right before it even happened!

[–] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Is it just me or is reddit 196 is very wierd. Like everything is just strange hornyposts.

Meanwhile here there are a decent amount of cropped porn and horny posts.

[–] LtLiana@startrek.website 1 points 1 year ago

Reddit in general is weird.

[–] clearedtoland@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

“It’s all hornyposts?”

[–] threegnomes@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] pimento64@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

That's fine, banning 45 year old perverts is not an issue

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 year ago

In my two years experience on Reddit, the subs had lots of hidden rules usually based on the biases of the moderators. Still not sure why I got kicked off r/selfawarewolves and r/aboringdystopia.

And r/communisim booted mr for Atlanteanism which I got for understanding and explaining a NATO policy (I think).

[–] Ranger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 year ago

I got banned from one lgbt+ subreddit because I posted stuff in one subreddit where I was sticking it to homophobes.

I always say to anyone still on Reddit, scope out the mod team before posting there and block any mods which are bots or that you think are chuds. They can still ban you but if they message you in Modmail while being blocked they have a risk of being suspended for harassment.

Also if you want to give it a second chance Tor works wonders against Reddit's ban evasion systems, don't use the same Email with them as you did before though, it'll make it easy for them to pick up on it automatically.
