I've confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.

To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.

I've had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they're not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.

Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.


EDIT: Been testing some more with a 2 week old account. Discovered that Reddit is also autobanning accounts that use the word "guillotine". I left a comment that literally only consisted of the word "guillotine", no other context at all, and within 30 seconds I was auto-suspended for 3 days.

If the mod who was in here telling people I was lying with no proof whatsoever, and who also lied about testing my methods, would like to test this out, or lie about testing it out, that would be great.

And, for the record, my username for the account just suspended actually has the word "Guillotine" in it. So apparently their bots don't screen usernames. Just contents of comments, and I'm assuming posts. I don't bother posting on Reddit, so I don't know about that one.

As I originally stated, Reddit is complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.


Edit 2: Despite a mod on this sub claiming that I'm lying and threatening to delete this post, here is more proof from users on Reddit that Reddit is, in fact, auto banning users for discussing our Constitutional rights.

I've been seeing more and more Reddit users talking about this.

If you’re still using reddit then you are complicit in the takeover too.

I only continue to use Reddit to combat misinformation, defend our Constitution, and promote Lemmy.

I've never given them a dime. I block all ads.

Your traffic is measured by them and used to increase their numbers when making ad sales. Regardless of whether you have given them any money and blocked all their ads, you still count as traffic to the site, and that is what they are selling to advertisers.

So, yes, even though you don't intentionally give them any money, the majority of the money they make is from the valuation placed on traffic to the site, which you continue contributing to.

I guess that begs the question, is spending the majority of your time on a generally censorship free site like Lemmy, but continuing to spend some time on the most popular site of its kind that does censor, in order to combat misinformation, defend our rights, and promote a better site morally wrong? Is it worth conbributing to their ad revenue? When you know the site is so popular it isn't going anywhere anyway?

Either way, this is a Lemmy sub about Reddit and you can't really know everything that's going on with Reddit unless you're logged in and contributing in some way.

Personally, I believe correcting misinformation and spreading awareness about our rights is worth continuing to login on a sporadic basis.

Combatting misinfo on corpo sites is a lost cause. They put their thumb on the scale.

You gotta siphon off the content and users while ad blocking.

[-] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 0 points 1 month ago

I've thought a out that. Would people appreciate it if I were to repost a bunch if things from reddit all the time? I don't want to start spamming

[-] Serinus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

If you comment, yes. A bunch of copied headlines with no comments? No.
