Only 3 days, but eh. I don't care. I only go on there to read comments about certain topics that pique my interest (games I'm currently playing, other current news stories) and very seldom comment, unless it really gets under my skin.
I left a comment on a post about the recent ICE killings, saying that anyone and everyone should be "armed to the fucking teeth when going to their next ICE protest, because it's much harder to oppress someone when they're ready and willing to put the other person down like the rabid dog they are."
So I had crazy amount of Karma and was very involved in Reddit where I built quite a community and made friends. I went into a marriage sub and must have offended someone and I got suspended from that sub. I think I commented ‘I think I messaged you on another sub where you wrote the same thing to help’ this sub is no DMs and I wasn’t talking about messaging the other woman from this sub but another one and as a lady too I just wanted to help her. It was an innocent misunderstanding. Months later I decided to make a throw away account to ask something I didn’t want to ask with my main account. Accidentally commented in the marriage sub with my throw away account completely forgetting that months ago my main account was already suspending in that sub. BAM I got ban evasion. Since then no matter what account I make hours later it’s also banned. It really sucks cause I honestly made a mistake. I tried to get the ban appealed but it was denied. So here I am now trying to learn the lemme thing!
I’ll stay vague here for the sake of not giving TMI, but I will answer questions about specifics if needed.
I was on a NSFW sub dedicated to famous people in the industry. I shared some images there of some of these people as it’s pretty much the whole point of the sub.
Everything I shared was commercially produced, and legally available for free. These were not random individuals. These were some of the most well known people as far as this goes. Their faces show up in memes on SFW subs.
There is possibly one exception to this however, and I think this may be the reason I was banned. I was under the impression one of them was well seated in the commercial industry. But I’m thinking, actually, they mostly do content through social media and OF. Still, this person pop up everywhere on reddit from people who are definitely not her.
The message I got did not specify, but this is my best guess why I got banned. I did appeal, and it was rejected. Part of me thinks it’s something else. But I have no idea what it would be.
On one hand I’m kinda miffed that I was banned for posting popular adult actresses on a subreddit that was made for posting popular adult actresses.
On the other hand I’m not sure how bad I should feel about this.
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 :)
A few months ago I got permabanned from Reddit for multiple violations over time. Most violations were self-deprecating humor or suicidal jokes, that got falsely flagged as rule 1 (inciting violence against someone else) due to their shitty AI moderation.
I didn't appeal the initial violations because I was stupid and didn't expect it would snowball into a permaban.
After I got my permaban, I managed to appeal most of the previous infractions that led to the permaban, but the final infraction had it's appeal denied so I'm still considered permabanned.
Obviously I cannot appeal a second time, and Reddithelp doesn't provide any way to contact the Reddit team, the "My account has been wrongly suspended" option doesn't let you send a request... Is it genuinely impossible to get in contact with a human on their team ??
I use redlib to browse some reddit communities - local town subreddit, language learning,and boydinnerdiaries which is fun to read.
I usually browse with nsfw unmarked, but sometimes searching innocuous terms will bring up porn stuff that wasn't marked as nsfw. E.g just now i searched 'spanish' and a video of two naked womem came up, if you want to try and replicate as proof.
I guess this is no big deal, as I don't autoplay media, and i just scrolled om to the content i wanted. But it would be nice if anyone who still has a reddit account could help report these lingering unmarked nsfw posts . It makes the NSFW/SFW mode on Redlib pointless (though i've just remembered i can tick to blur nsfw images lol).
I don't know why it came to the top of redlib when i searched "spanish." Anyone who has both a reddit acct and also browses redlib can also help identify ehen these occur.
Reddit will start requiring people to be logged into Reddit to use old.reddit.com.
The new requirement will take effect “over the next month,” a Reddit employee going by the username boat-botany announced on the social media platform today. The person claimed that the change is part of an ongoing effort to “tighten how automated systems access Reddit.”
The Reddit employee wrote:
Old Reddit’s logged-out experience is a significant source of abusive scraping and automated traffic on the platform. It’s also an important interface for many long-time mods and Redditors. To strike the right balance between preserving your access to Old Reddit while preventing abusive scraping and automated traffic, over the next month we will start requiring everyone to log in.
Most people believe that social media discourse is negative and divisive. Here we show how this negativity can evolve even when users are not motivated to be negative. We propose that social media users seek to differentiate themselves from other users, and it is easier to differentiate oneself through negativity than positivity because negative information is more heterogeneous and counternormative than positive information. This makes users increasingly likely to post negative comments as a conversation unfolds and it becomes more challenging to make unique contributions. Analyzing 2.05 billion comments from 2,150 Reddit communities shows that comments become more negative over time, both within threads and community histories. This trend toward negativity is mediated by the semantic uniqueness of comments, suggesting that it arises from users differentiating themselves. This trend is strongest when initial dialogue is positive, making negative comments highly counternormative. We replicate these patterns in an experiment simulating social media dialogue (n = 3,685). Participants become more negative over time, but only when incentivized to be unique, and especially when dialogue begins positively. These findings suggest that the structure of social media platforms interacts with human motivation to foster a drift toward negativity over time in online discourse.

The mods are/Melbourne were sent a private message requesting that a news article about where a dance instructor sexually molests a underage girl.
The mods at r/Melbourne decide to post the entire private message publicly.
Piece from the news article:
Judge Holding detailed how the victim believed the vodka Garnett gave her “contained a drug that incapacitated her” however said it could not be found beyond a reasonable doubt, as the schoolgirl was inexperienced with alcohol.
After carefully reviewing the subreddit rules, I believe this submission raises concerns under multiple community rules and would appreciate the moderation team's assessment.
Rule 7 – No Witch-hunts
This rule prohibits posts that target individuals or groups where the discussion may lead to harassment or the spread of personal information. The linked article prominently identifies a specific individual, and the discussion surrounding the post has the potential to encourage targeted harassment, abuse, or coordinated attacks. Regardless of whether the information originates from a mainstream news source, I believe the resulting discussion may conflict with the purpose of Rule 7, which is to prevent individuals from being targeted by the community.
Rule 6 – Be Respectful
The nature of this post has the potential to generate hostile, abusive, or malicious comments directed at an identifiable individual. I am concerned that the discussion may not remain civil, which is inconsistent with the expectation that users engage respectfully.
Rule 5 – No Hate Speech / Harassment
Although the article itself is not hate speech, discussions involving identifiable individuals can quickly lead to personal abuse, threats, harassment, or bullying. I ask that the moderation team consider whether allowing the post creates an environment contrary to the spirit of this rule.
Rule 11 – No Low Effort Posts
While the submission links to a news article, the discussion appears likely to focus primarily on attacking an individual rather than encouraging constructive discussion about issues affecting Melbourne. This may reduce the quality of discussion within the community.
My concern is not with the reporting itself, but with whether this particular submission is consistent with the subreddit rules intended to prevent harassment, witch-hunts, and uncivil discussion.
I respectfully request that the moderation team review this submission and determine whether it complies with the subreddit rules. If you find that it breaches Rule 7 or any other applicable rule, I kindly ask that you consider removing the post.
Thank you for your time, consideration, and the work you do in moderating the r/melbourne community.
I haven't seen any other mentions on Reddit limiting the feeds. But considering what led to the Reddit diaspora in 2022, what appears to be an increasing attempt to self-destruction since, the aforementioned consideration to remove RSS, and the OP's workaround which raises privacy concerns and further risking viral IP bans, such a situation doesn't sound unlikely to me.
Still, I ask to be sure, is it something that has been happening indeed, is it a suspicious amount of coincidences, or might it be the beginning of the next stunt by Reddit?
