Banning accounts from just upvoting is insane.
I recommend u guys try Lemmy. I feel like Reddit is reaching its EOL
How do i join lemmy
Lemmy.com
reddit reached enshitification several years ago.
2017 was more than several years ago
I would say that's about several years ago.
😡
Talk about the thought police! I saw it coming for awhile, but past me from a decade ago is shocked that Reddit has come to this.
Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can't even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?
Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to?
Not even really cowardice when you consider how bare bones their staff is. Even if they gave a shit about users, real monetization costs money and Reddit hates spending.
Whatever their goal is, one result is apparent: less voicing of opposite views to the status quo on their website.
Less voicing of views, period. Reddit doesn't want user interaction. Only views. The bots generate the content while the users are there to generate ad revenue.
They ban u for upvoting? Not even commenting, but literally just upvoting?
Can anyone suggest how to get banned with my dormant reddit account? I wanna post something about Luigi
Go to the Luigi subreddit and upvote everything there if you're really in a hurry.
I made a post on ask reddit simply asking why elon or Trump hasn't been assassinated yet. It got deleted pretty quick and my account got a "warning"
Here's to hoping your full ban comes soon! I haven't gotten mine yet. They reaaally want my ad money.
Please let them implode.
I want Lemmy to have niche content. I'm tired of being a bitter asshole about politics and news on here. I want to gleefully distract myself while my country burns, not be ultra depressed about it because its constantly in my face.
yeah i always like the beginning of a new platform in the first few years where everyone is just having fun before the hoards come and commercialization happens.
I don't know how likely commercialization is on a platform developed by communists. Seems kind of unlikely.
i wasn't specifically talking about lemmy when i said the commercialization part.
Please read the rules again so that you don't break them.
I tattooed their rules to my chest and I still got warned.
hey so i started looking at a new place because I'm tired of reddit and the people on it.... My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn't even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy's back is turned on your icon you're in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren't showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don't know if this is related to luigi but it's some weird nonsense.
You sir or ma'am were shadowbanned. They want your views, not your voice. Basically you are ad revenue to them, if they ban you they lose that sweet juicy $.02 from their advertiser. They want two cents from their advertiser, just not from you.
exactly. i always thought shadowbanning was a thing people just said when mad until i noticed that on reddit.
