“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol
Reddit permanently banned me for saying a person got “burned” when Trump did not pay the person. It was violent rhetoric, they said.
It was a bot that automatically banned you
There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for “promoting suicide” because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because “the king is not allowed to commit suicide”
Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.
Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷
Oh, that makes it so much better…
So like 99% of the rest of Reddit
Also a bot that will ignore the explanation and reject the request
That’s more of a script than a bot. Basically: if request, then reject.
Basically: if request, then reject.
Sounds like they were inspired by U.S. health insurance companies.
It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn’t work and is seemingly also run by bots.
The ban purges have revealed most people were getting auto banned by an Ai and auto rejected by the same thing. I almost all accounts banned like this, I felt like it was an experiment on their part
end of the day these big tech companies need us in ways we don’t need them

How many people get banned for quoting Trump’s violent rhetoric?
I was banned 3 days for “hate speech” because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.
I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a “photo” of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because…really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.
I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn’t permitted to speak against this threat?
I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn’t even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.
I got a three day ban for saying that Deadpool would do something to Tim Gunn. Deadpool the fictional character and Tim Gunn, the very real fashion chair (at the time) of Parsons School of Design. I forget what, possibly kidnap him to protect him from something. IDK, whatever it was was impossible and not in any way inciting violence.
Nothing makes sense at reddit.
Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn’t go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I’ve had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I’ve been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.
I got a warning for saying a fictional Nazi “should be l****ed”
Not “luigied” literally I put the asterisks in and the bot still got it. They’re so paranoid and scared lol
Yeeep, that shit’s crazy. Why we ever let corporations control our means of interacting with each other online I’ll never know, but now it’s all going to shit as it was always meant to so they can squeeze even more money out of us. Fuck 'em.
Reddit loves Nazis.
See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣
I’m on another site where people have more than that.discussing about evading reddit bans
Clearly. :P
I got a warning for saying “I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye” in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.
Mods there can ban if they dont agree eith your sports team, that shit is going downhill
People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.
Redditors are going to end up on [email protected]
We’re coming here, but slowly. We each have our tipping point and for many who just scroll mindlessly it’s not any worse than insta/tiktok/Facebook. The commenter crowd has largely moved over.
It would take people getting shadow banned or perms banned to move here, they are just too addicted to that site. The true ban evaders are the ones using bots to spread misinformation or earning money from their links or OF accounts businesses
Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.
My post got taken down for racism.
I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.
“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”
Told them to go fuck them selves.
Never got an answer.
I got a temporary ban once for racism - for a comment I made about a nonexistent race.
Bloody Cardys can’t be trusted.
Settle down Miles.
Good thing he died in a nuke in SGA episode
CEOs being CEOs… Violent as ever 🤣
It’s because they’ve given an LLM the ability to ban for “promoting or threatning violence”, and it’s terrible. It basically sees two “bad” words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like “unalive” and things like that.
Interestingly it doesn’t work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don’t get banned after quoting comments that get banned).
Explains why I got permabanned for quoting a fictional character that wanted to kill someone, jfc
I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.
The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.
I don’t even know anymore.
Some people appealed for 6months before they got a response.
Fffffff, that’s even worse.
Honestly the niche subs I visit are either cesspools or “brain drained” now, and unfortunately not much critical mass is here on Lemmy… Seems most went to Twitter, Insta/Tiktok or maybe Discord.
Appealing too many temp bans (all unfounded) got me perma banned.
Corpo bootlickers, kicking all humans off their platform until they remaining are indistinguishable from the growing see of bots.
It’s clear they only want people just browsing and not logged in anymore. All for the advertisement money
I literally don’t know why I’m shadowbanned though, I didn’t do anything even adjacently controversial!
I guess I just talk like a bot? Not that they ban those, ha…
But yeah that’s what gets me, if there was some stated reason for a shadowban or permanent I’d be understanding, but zero feedback? Really?
Shadowbans are the cowards way of dealing with unwanted users — I understand why they do it, but it happens to way too many normal posters.
It’s okay for zapping low-effort bots, but there should always be a way for humans to deal with it…
I visited the shadowban subs, which lets you comment and apparently normal users are getting dusted for very little reason. If that sub is getting such a frequent postings, it’s a red flag.
These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.
Most of the time, at least recently it’s all AI, mods aren’t even noticing it
