I got a lifetime ban after 12 years on Reddit. I still have no clue why, and I really, really don't care.

How is no one mentioning the abuse on r/conservative where spewing all kinds of falsehoods, and xenophobias and you are gold, but trying to provide factual information gets banned?
I think there are more things to worry about than the number of groups someone helps moderate.
And alsothere is no recourse against improper bans. I was banned from my corresponding country sub because a moderator misinterpreted something I said.

It’s definitely Reddit attempting more censorship and manipulation of the front page, but I’m still happy the powermods are being fucked.

did you get banned from r/kangaroo for posting a wallaby?
Your alignment is chaotic-petty

I joined after getting some weird warning about upvoting comments reddit didn't like. That left a sour taste in my mouth.

I’m currently on a 3 day ban on Reddit for “threatening others” because someone was going on about how they would smash people with telekinesis and I made a comment saying you could simply bend a prion without being dramatic and drawing attention to yourself.

I got banned for criticizing billionaires.
They updated their automod stuff a few months back and if you don’t follow the script you get banned very easily now.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I've gotten IP banned twice. Once for talking about my cat killing rabbits (violence!) and once for talking about racist attacks against my local mayor by right wing nutjobs (supporting racism).
It's astoundingly stupid. I was never once ever even banned or blocked from a subreddit until like 2022. Then I started repeatedly getting bans from lots of subs for racism, sexism and violence. Mostly for throughful comments that were getting tons of upvotes then I'd get some personal comment from a mod about what a jerk I was and how if I think men/women are the same, and race isn't a huge pivotal thing, and violence is part of life... well then apparently I'm sexist, racist, and promoting violence. I also pointed out some obvious viral marketing going on in some subs... and banned. I also start getting harassed and targetted and followed by people on the site. It was so weird to have someone show up in other subs to insult/harass me or the constant PMs from weirdos. Never ever got those until like '22 as well.
Reddit was great when it was small. People were reasonable and chill mostly and debate was allowed. I learned so much from so many great communities. Now it's just a corporate echo chamber that wants a inoffensive as possible Disney like image. It's run by dingbats with zero ability to make normal judgements and caters to nutbags and bad actors who actively abuse things.
That said IRL things are so getting worse. My entire life I've mostly head the same opinions... and now all the sudden I'm 'evil' because I don't agree with exteremist/ignorance-first agendas being pushed so hard.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I live in a small country that sysadmins don't care about. if I make an account on reddit, it will be banned the first time I say "hello" in the comments. there is no way for me to use Reddit. the appeal system is completely fake as far as i know. the messages go straight into the garbage they're not read by anybody.

Same. I got a permaban on 9/12 with zero explanation as to why.

I don't even get how the fanfiction subreddits are not permabanned due to all the crazy shit that gets written up there.

Nope. Got banned for threatening someone who was cussing me for one of my aggressive opinions

There's a snuff/gore fiction subreddit. XD

See? And now you can wear that "former" as a badge of honor.
My biggest feather in my reddit hat was that they included me in their net neutrality filing with the FCC. I am actually pretty proud of that.
What ever happened to them after that?

I got banned for using the expression "take a long walk off a short pier".

I got perma banned a few years ago for saying pipzilla will stomp on ableists. cause apparently saying OCs of fictional characters will stomp on is a serious threat of violence
Reddit moderation is so ass it's comical people don't believe me sometimes hwen itell them this is why i got banned but it is.
v Pipzilla

If /r/wallstreetbets would just move to Lemmy, I'd have no reason to ever look at reddit at all. Wallstreetbets has been pretty solid on giving me tips to make money recently. The rest of the site is trash.
Bro just DCA bitcoin. Done.

Reddit has been dead since February, when Spez met with The Goblin, and then permabanned thousands, maybe millions of highly active accounts, including me. I was permabanned for repeating a post I had made many times with no issues. After 12 years, and almost a million Karma, I was suddenly too dangerous to allow on the platform, along with thousands of others.
We high volume posters built Reddit, but we shifted from being assets to problems after Trump was elected again.

Limiting the power mod reach is a good thing, but still, this will break Reddit. Ordinary users will not be lining up to step in as small time moderators. Especially if Reddit Inc is going to remove them if they do anything they don't like.
Reddit Inc will just go "what the hell, we'll throw more AI shit in the Automoderator. It's not like it'll do worse than the current arbitrary quagmire of moderation rules - or maybe it will be, who can tell the difference anyway".
wrote last edited by [email protected]Killing super-mods would have been much more effective 5 years ago, back when there were still lots quality moderators in small subreddits. I remember people screaming for years this was a problem they needed to do something about.
However, during the last blackout (triggered by Reddit killing off 3rd party apps), Reddit removed hundreds (thousands?) of moderators who wouldn't toe the party line. These people aren't coming back and there aren't quality people lined up behind them to donate their time. The mass moderator removal made the super-mod issues even worse.
