Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site”

I kibd of agree.with this one, on the other hand reddit is not my circus and those mods are not my monkeys.
Hell, I never understood why anyone worked for
free to make the owners richer ? Here I get (and thank you), like an old school BBS but reddit makes zero sense as a mod. -
Because we live in a world where it's easy to block offensive words, so much so that the powers that be like to pretend that blocking talk about the 'cest is somehow an effective tool in combating it. (When instead it just coins an endless stream of new words that act as synonyms for 'the bad words'. 'Cause funk you. Funk you to heck!)
I think the technical term is like 'fauxcest' or something? It's the 'I can't belive it's not incest' thing. Stepfamily, fictional rp and meme subs. It's like a whole brand. They all walk the line but the incest ones especially do.

Don't forget /r/cuckservative. That shithole radicalizes so many low IQ incels.

lol of course power mods would say that.
Fuck that dumbass site.

that's the point, when people got a dead end when looking for answers on reddit for the nth time, they will stop clicking those results
Also though running an ad blocker makes them have to serve the web request and not get ad revenue

Yeah my 10+ yr account was like #340 in comment karma or some shit, I was clearly a contributor, but they banned me for nothing. Wish I would have sold it now.
So how does a person sell their account !?

I got banned for updooting Luigi stuff.
And I'll fucking do it again!
This is the way.

I only got a warning, they said if I did it again I could face a site-wide ban though. Pretty disturbing that they're tracking upvotes to a post.. they said I also upvoted a Luigi comment.. but in both cases, they wouldn't tell me specifically which post or comment triggered it.

Yeah. When my 12 year old account got banned I stopped caring about that site and started creating new accounts every week and just posting whatever the hell I wanted without feeling like I needed to censor myself anymore. So their ban happy culture tends to have the opposite effect of what they want.
There's a browser script out there that auto-adds all your subs back from your old account, so it really wasn't even inconvenient for me other than the 2 minutes it takes to create a throwaway email account and create a new throwaway Reddit account.
And yeah, their methods for preventing you from coming back end up preventing others using the same computer or in the same household from coming back, so they just lose users. Their methods aren't very sophisticated though, so it's pretty easy to avoid them.
Shit site.
The problem with that is that it's so locked down now you need an account of X age with Y karma, so the majority of the site isn't something you can participate in. And I get it, lots of spam accounts and whatnot, but still shitty that they're a hair trigger away from destroying years worth of built up karma over nothing.

Mods should be forced to indicate what rule was broken when banning. All bans should be appealable on reddit and addressed by a human being. Mods who have a history of frequent ban overturns should be suspended or banned.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I think the concept of moderation by an individual needs more scrutiny. Why not build a software algorithm to allow for subscribers to vote on moderation actions?
In other words, instead of vertical top heavy moderation, privide a more level, more horizontal process, where our peers play a significant role, or even act as co-moderators.
We are recreating in software all the top down vertical hierarchies we tend to be sceptical of in the real world. Why?
Imagine if there were no jury trial? How much worse would things be?
So why do we build an online world with a lower standard than we use to build the physical world. That's just sloppy.

I got banned for implying someone should give him a call. Reddit can lick my taint, it's not even worth making another account, I can talk to AI bots anywhere these days!

Reddit died for me the moment RIF went down.
Soon as they fucked over the Apollo dev…re, redd who?
-
I still use RIF with a Revanced patch- the few weeks before I figured out how to do that I was zero time on reddit. That's probably healthier for me.
I'm trying to shift over to Lemmy more and more it's just difficult with some smaller/niche communities. But it's worth the effort given how much spez is on his knees.

Spez's tie.

'member when redditors would ALL leave because of the API restrictions? This will have no real effect whatsoever. I'm glad that most redditors didn't move to lemmy.
I started going there way less after the API restrictions because my favourite client stopped working. Then, I got banned and found out there was a better alternative — Lemmy.

I still have a Reddit account that I use to follow NBA news and discussions, but I found myself going there less and less over time because most of the content is just so damn repetitive. The bots are really going into overdrive as of late, and it's making most of the big subs unusable. A lot of the small subs aren't any better because they're either controlled by some terminally online powermods or they're some extremely unhinged echo chamber. That being said, Lemmy isn't any better, but at least it's more private and less corporate.

Being a bass aggregator myself, its less likely they'll bite the hand that feeds them first,The exposure for my friend's accounts have been phenomenal though.

Every few months I check back and see if there's any news on awkardtheturtle rearing his ugly head, and every few months im satisfied they were totally obliterated

Strong words from a former reddit refugee, my man, we were the redditors that moved to Lemmy

At the risk of agreeing with Reddit:
Under new rules rolling out over the coming months, a small number of users will be required to leave some of their moderator posts so that they aren’t moderating more than five subreddits with 100,000 monthly visitors.
That sounds perfectly reasonable. Reddit has a massive powermod problem.
This was desperately needed.
But I'm not convinced they aren't just going to make alts.
