So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.

I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)

    I am very much sorry to know that, heartfelt… and I hope you will find peace, dear @IAmUser1234567@lemmy.zip …

    I do believe it’s impossible to get unbanned. Not only that, but they don’t even explain the reason, too…
    For years, they don’t respond for my time-ivesting appeals requests, and I still have no idea why and when I got shadow-banned:
    - https://lemmy.world/comment/21676673

    It might be their sorrowful automation system at the start of them trying “AI” and I got into a list by a mistake, yet no one ever cared or will care, I believe, because it’s Reddit - one of the most popular forum-like social marketed out there.

    I’ve invested ~340 Euro into the account at Reddit giving awards mostly, and a few NFT avatars, and for what?
    I lost hope in Reddit, and won’t consider their support or anything serious from that point, unfortunately…
    Such a… sorrow… So much of human priceless precious finite life time… is…

    Reddit sucks. They seem to automate bans like Threads does? I cant even create an account on Threads without it getting banned instantly.

    Its like these sites dont want users?

      My theory is that they are fully aware that the main use of their site now is training data for AI. So their ‘customers’ require very clean content. Things like sarcastically inciting violence are a no-go.

      Doesn’t explain why they haven’t done anything about the bots though.

      Bots post what they want for the rest of the sheep to think this is what the masses want/think.

          What did the user say to upset the algorithm? If you tow the line, get a couple 3/7 day bans for stepping out of line and you cool your speech you are exactly they want on the website.

          If youre like me, no they don’t want someone that can call out the BS and the lies. Older and has seen these games of the media and government playout before and call them out. You catch the B& hammer.

          Carlin said it best:

          Governments don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. That is against their interests. They want obedient workers, people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork. And just dumb enough to passively accept it.

          Reddit is part of that.

    Welcome. I’ve found lemmy/fediverse to be so much better. Half of the subreddits on reddit are just bots posting (or people who post like bots)

    Welcome here! Got banned from Reddit as well, many others here too. Their bans and strike system sucks and it seems near impossible to appeal.

    I got at least 3 dozen IP bans, they are movre clever now than before. My guess is they are using Pixel or similar because changing IP doesn’t work on my main OS account like it used to. They nuked 5 long standing accounts in an hour.

    So I made an alternate log in account on the same PC and I’m in. Still VPN’ing. My concern is Windows being Windows will start linking/fingerprinting on all local accounts into one.

    I will say the last round was my last, the account I made is for the few small hobby subs I was part of to keep tabs on once a week or so…
