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:
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 know Reddit now has a stupid rule or policy about new accounts posting or commenting. They punish new users for just trying to have a conversation. Why does Reddit hate privacy? Is it just in the system trying to filter out bots? Well, it is doing a shitty job since bots are still a high percentage there. Reddit banned me, even when I was on the new user friendly subs. I tried with multiple locations with a VPN too. This has to make people go to other platforms. Like I did, I moved here.
Reddit is fucking stupid as shit. You'd do best to not waste any more of your life thinking about it.
This might be the best advice I have seen on here, lol.
Why does Reddit hate privacy?
Been that way for a long long time. They used to be open source, and the they closed the source, and it's been all downhill from then.
I didn't realize it was that bad until people telling me on here.
yep. it got ESPECIALLY bad when they IPO'd.
Banning is Reddit's default behaviour now. Unless you're a bot. If you're a bot, you'll have no problem, since you can be counted as an advertising click, thus increasing revenue. The more bots, the more money. Reddit's gaming its own system. Humans only fuck it up for them.
I assumed that system was to evade the bots...
Once upon a time.
About what's Reddit's intention, I can only conjecture, but I get the impression they are intentionally self-sabotaging. And trying to think who or how someone would benefit from this, the only thing that comes to mind is that they're destroying the legacy of the biggest public forum.
This, extrapolating, would potentially force people to go to platforms that require accounts, which sounds even more suspicious when considering the verification laws and policies that are increasingly being pushed since around October last year.
About VPN, Reddit apparently does IP bans and automatically considers a new account made in a same IP of a banned account as an evasion attempt, which given VPNs, spreads like a disease, like they're setting up a digital pandemic - or should I say "a plandemic".
I made sure the IP's were all different, but it was the same VPN service.
IPs may be shared among users though. If another user tried the same but made a previous, blacklisted IP visible, he may have tarnished one of the VPN IPs too.
Yes I did realize that as well. Out of all of them, at least one of them might be flagged.
@Anonymous_Leaker I have been facing the same issue. Reddit is shadowbanning my account and suspending my account of Reddit. I don't what to do?
Leave the site of garbage like I did. You can do an appeal, but it is probably not real people looking at them.
