Reddit has streaks now??

Many many years and ass loads of karma....

But apparently LIKING posts can get you banned now. What a shit show.

Hello everyone. You're not alone. I got banned like for 4-5 times, using local Ukrainian words that may look like slurs, but they aren't.

I got unbanned, but I am still too scared to write anything about politics on Reddit. I want a working account there for IT questions.

Lemmy. The support group for burned reddit veterans.

We were there. We put in thousands of hours of work. Years of moderating. Free work. Content creators. People who commented. Voted. All that karma ...

All gone cause you upvoted an anti trump or musk post. Or maybe you upvoted a photo of a tessler burning.

Maybe you didn't think Luigi should get the death penalty.

Don't worry brother. Upvote what you want. Be free with the rest of us.

I got banned for pointing out that ICE are a human trafficking terrorist gang

Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let's encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?

You have a 300 day streak of using heroin, don't stop now!

Reddit banned all the people that made it fun, now the only people left are the boring ones and bots lol

So is Lemmy the dumping ground for people getting banned on reddit now?

Yep that’s why I’m here. They banned my 12 year account for sympathizing with Luigi.

I've had my reddit account for 17 years and I received my first warning for inciting violence because I commented "this makes me want to make a whip and go to town on these people" (a reference to Jesus running out the money changers in the temple) on a video of a megachurch service showing a woman painting trump bowing to a cross.

And nothing of value was lost

Exactly like my account except 30ish days ago. Welcome to Lemmy! If you're reading this comment the ban bots haven't taken over:

Luigi Mangione Innocent Death Elon Musk Trump

My reddit account got a strike by an admin for describing the risks involved in traveling to the USA currently (abduction, torture for an undetermined amount of time). The appeal I made to that was accepted but it left a sour taste in my mouth.

I canceled my reddit pro, or reddit+ account, whatever the f*ck it is called, and the ads, the ads.... Ads that look like posts, or comments. It's almost making me 100% Lemmy too.

Someone should start Blueit. See cuz they blew it, get it?

I was permabanned without explanation and reinstated two weeks later, again without comment.

I believe this tracks with what to expect should we ever see the tech-bro billionaires divide the world into monarchy fiefdoms ocer which rhey are each the unchallenged lord and master.

Welcome, don't step in the Tankies on your way in.

What did you do?

Reading all these ban stories, I'm glad I left during the API thing! I don't like censoring myself.

Oh this is me. Got banned from Reddit and am on lemmy fulltime.

I tried to like Reddit but every time I tried posting something I thought was original or thoughtful it would get auto deleted by a bot for not including the right "flair" or some other stupid shit.

I got banned for saying people should engage in mass protest against the arrest of judges and prevent anyone from entering and leaving the building in which they are held until they are released.

I'll create a new Reddit account when I can be bothered to create a new email address.

What were you banned for?

Lately I'm seeing a lot of this on old accounts

I had a few alt accounts from a decade ago that I'd sometimes used to get something from that site but over the past year the all got banned for no reason because I literally didn't even post with them.

Im guessing that Reddit wants to get rid of those older users that still remember how great it was

Feel that pain this year would have been my 10th year on Reddit. I was permanently banned last June for saying I hope the libs of TikTok monster would get hit by a bus. It’s still blows I can’t post or comment on anything. I was part of a close nit group on Reddit involving a car subreddit and now it sucks to see people commenting on where I am and what happened.

If you're not a russian orc troll, you're not welcome on reddit these days.

My Reddit account was permanently banned for saying I hope Nazi scum Elon Musk dies soon. Had previously caught temporary bans for saying things like "We should overthrow Musk into the sea." in response to him having argued King Charles should overthrow the UK government. Reddit admins really don't seem to like it when you're righteously intolerant of evil scumfuck psychopaths who use their unearned power and influence to cause immeasurable harm to society, the world and its inhabitants. Things like that break Rule 1, threatening violence, they claim.

Although the permanent ban was only for a couple of days since I for once was successful in my appeal. I basically said death =/= violence. An obvious truth to anyone, except some Reddit admins apparently.

I've not really used Reddit since. Kind of lost my will to bother with a US based site that's clearly and predictably going in a US direction, i.e. spiraling down the fascist sewage. Instead I've been drifting over to here. Will see what the moderation over here is like.
