Reddit

Then, later, on the john, it got its revenge.

It was a killer burrito.

You did what you had to.

Help I'm being murdered.

BANNED

Hey!!! That sounds an awful lot like violins! Cut it out before our advertisers stop giving us money!

You need to essentially be nothing but apologetic, even if you don't think you did something wrong. You also need to say what you did wrong, and what you will do to prevent it in the future.

Yeah. "Reddit admin" is the 5th Cluster B personality disorder. Its like when you're young and the guy in class with the most prominent Adam's apple gets put in charge while the teacher takes a piss.

How do they know? IP address?

One asshole was essentially advocating genocide, and I got banned for 7 days for saying you first.

I was harassed and stalked by people on reddit targeting people in disability related subs especially in the autism subs. I reported them and their sockpuppet accounts and nothing was done because reddit sent a message saying that it did not break their rules. When I told one of the stalkers alts to leave me alone several times I was flagged by a bot as harassing them. I appealed it but reddit did not care.

Another time I suggested to someone a telemedicine quit smoking service may help them and that was being flagged as "unauthorized transaction of prohibited goods". They banned me for 7 days. They never even told me what comment I made but that was the only comment I could think of that might have caused it. Reddit themselves advertises these very same telemedicine clinics and you have to go through a doctor to obtain any medication, I was not sourcing any products. I sent them an email basically begging them to tell me specifically what I said that was wrong but they never replied. I said at the end "How am I supposed to learn from this if you won't even tell me what comment was against the rules and clearly explain it to me?". At least on most lemmy instances there is a modlog with what comment broke the rules and specifically why.

Meanwhile I see tons of subs and users doing way more than what I did. This coupled with the fact that I am part of the blind community and reddit banned the third party client I was using that had far better features for disabled users really turned me away from wanting to keep posting on reddit. Their global moderators and a lot of the subreddit and chat moderators are sometimes just straight up evil people who don't care about actual victims of abuse and harassment. I have begun to really limit my use of reddit because of this biased behavior.

I said that Trump better watch out for dancing girls in metal bikinis trying to strangle him with their chains.

I was banned once. I had no idea why. I appealed. Denied. I asked if I could at least know which post got me banned. Nope. That didn't make me leave. It should have. :( Luckily killing RiF did.

Those are some rose tinted glasses you're looking through.

Why would you even attempt that if you can much more easily circumvent their ban by using a vpn. Assuming that you can still use a vpn, I'm not on reddit anymore.

Honestly, the longer I have been away from it, the more dumb it seems. So I don't care. I can still read it, and I do - mostly to look for hardware related computer information from people who know more than me.

Im in the medical field and have already spotted several posts giving incorrect medical advice that I now can't correct. It used to be my thing. Its a shame the admins don't concentrate on that kind of harmful misinformation, but whatever.
