Before I left Reddit, I used a plugin through the api to replace all of my comments with random gibberish and then delete them. Part of this was because (mandatory) fuck spez. But more importantly, it was to protect the anonymity of my account. After years of posting, there is likely enough personal information shared to potentially connect my Reddit habits to my online identity. I wasn't planning on using Reddit again in the future on that account, but I left it open in order to maintain some security control over the account. I'm not really sure what to do at this point because I still consider it a security vector that's a bit concerning. There's no way I can manually edit and delete all of my content with the snail's-pace reddit UI, and I have no ability to assure that my content will remain unavailable or at least not publicly displayed.

I got permabanned so I can't even delete my shit :/

(For anyone curious, it was for suggesting that riot police should quit their jobs en masse following RvW. I still stand by that statement)

[-] grue@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

My account was "permanently suspended" for "mod abuse" because I reported misinformation in r/conservative.

[-] ngwoo@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I pissed off a power mod and got banned from a handful of subreddits and accidentally posted on one of them with an alt. Both accounts permabanned for ban evasion - even though one of those subreddits was one I only ever posted on with one account. Alts get nuked as soon as I make a single post anywhere, too.

Could get around it with a new email and IP but meh

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

they detect alts by IP? that's super reliable....🙄

[-] ngwoo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

They use machine learning to detect ban evasion. It takes into account email/phone used to sign up, IP, device fingerprinting, and behaviour on the site.

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

dude that sub is almost as easy to get banned from as pyongyang. they bitch about snowflakes but are all half melted snowflakes themselves. absolute dumpster fire of amalgamated fragile masculinity. NEETs, incels, and racists only.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

That's the thing, though: I'm not talking about being banned from the sub. My account was suspended site-wide because the snowflake mods reported me to the admins for "abusing the moderation system" (again: for reporting comments as misinformation because they actually were, in factual reality, misinformation), and the admins upheld that suspension even on appeal.

Reddit's admins actively support spreading fascist misinformation

[-] JigglySackles@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

wow, that's garbage. glad I'm not there anymore

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

That's shouldn't be a shock

[-] Chozo@fedia.io 9 points 3 months ago

I had a site-wide, week-long ban for saying that Nazis who got punched in the face deserved it. Fuck that place, lmao

[-] Azzu@lemm.ee -3 points 3 months ago

Well I personally think your ban might be deserved. I don't think anyone deserves to be punched in the face for what they believe. A punch in the face might only be deserved for something they do. Depends on the situation I guess.

[-] vala@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

Idk that we need to let Nazis do Nazi things before using violence to stop them. If someone makes a serious credible threat it's ok to stop it with violence.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

My first site ban was for “it’s always a good day to punch a Nazi”

My second was for “fuck /u/spez”

My permaban was for dropping the “you like that, you fucking reference in an amusingly appropriate thread, and the mod who did it just wasn’t having the “i thought it was a hilariously topical meme reference in the context of the post, but I completely understand and will stay completely away from that term in the future” (it was probably the only time I had used the word in an interaction in, like, at least 5 or 6 years)

At any rate, the moderation here is overall much more sensible, imo.

[-] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Wait so if you get banned you can't even access your own information anymore?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

I hope you know that I am reporting you for this.

Just kidding

[-] ShepherdPie@midwest.social 1 points 3 months ago

Same but my ban was for talking about piracy in /r/movies and then accidently posting there again months later on one of my alt accounts.

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Mine was for arguing with the BreadTube mod after he banned me for asking "Once you get rid of polices what's the plan exactly? A burglar enters your house, what then?"

[-] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Why would there be burglars in a post scarcity communist society, genius?
