News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I had my 15yo old reddit account still up which I was only using for outreach for threadiverse in places like /r/redditalternatives etc. Last week I got an email that they found some "suspicious behaviour" (of what? I never use it) and locked it, so I had to reset the password. I visited reddit directly to verify and discovered that it was indeed locked. So I reset my password, so far so good. Set a new password and everything. However when trying to login with the new password, it initially was giving me some rate limiting errors, and afterwards it was claiming "the username or password is wrong". Also looking at my profile shows it has been restricted to 18+ user for some reason (I have nothing NSFW in it).

So looks like this is the anticlimactic end of that journey. Can't say I'm sad, but I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner given the amount of anti-reddit shit I've posted in the past 2.5 years :D

On the NSFW profile: There's a one-off rule set in place, as best I can tell. If you've ever participated in a post or community that's NSFW / quarantined / etc, even if your content itself was not NSFW or if the thread/community was SFW at the time but was later marked NSFW / quarantined, and even if you've since deleted your content or it was removed by mods, your profile will be marked as NSFW. At least, that's how it appeared to work back in the day.

If you are 100% certain that you've never posted in an NSFW / quarantined thread/community and that nothing you've ever participation has since had a status change, then that might actually be evidence that there was some suspicious activity. No guarantee, of course, but for example if someone hacked into your account then posted a bunch of Only Fans shit that was quickly removed, it might lead to the locked account and the NSFW designation.

Granted, I'm not saying that you didn't get banned for the anti-reddit comments and out-reach. I do know that anti-reddit comments aren't necessarily automatically deleted / removed and accounts aren't guaranteed to be banned for it. Usually, it seems like that's reserved for cases where, objectively speaking, the comment was rule-breaking (common themes being abusive lanugage / name calling) or otherwise off-topic. I've seen numerous comments on Reddit talking about Lemmy, linking to Lemmy, as well as to other alternatives, even speaking unfavorably of Reddit and its dear leader, that stay up and are left untouched. But we also all know that all it takes is one prickly admin or ceo to take personal offense. Nature of the internet being what it is.
