Comment on Reddit Blames Google Algorithm Changes For Not Hitting User Growth.

Orrrrrrrr, and hear me out…you decided to do AI banning, where bots ban humans, with no human oversight, and you assume that somehow the humans will flock to this platform that becomes increasingly hostile towards it’s users.

Then you sit back and wonder why you’re not growing.

Humans like staying where they’re appriciated. You’re showing that you appriciate money over humans. Now you blame google. I’m not one usually to root for google, but I hope they pimp slap spez across his stupid little face.

Is that why my multiple accounts with hundreds of thousands of karma were all nuked simultaneously and I was never told why?

Fuckin AI nuked my shit?

I tried to appeal but it was instantly denied and even though I asked what rule they are claiming I broke I still got no answers.

Fuckin AI…

  That is EXACTLY what happened. And whats worse is there are people on Lemmy, who left before that started, who say things like “nobody is banned for nothing. You probably deserved it.”
  
  And yet I’ve had countless encounters who seemingly fit the same criteria.
  
  Long time regular user, didn’t buy the reddit IPO, many were offered but not all. Then one day, permanently suspended and all appeals fail. Most instantly, but none so far taking longer than a day.

  That’s been happening for a while, even before AI came in. Fascist mods pretending to be on the spectrum had the same result: bizarre, contorted interpretations of rules, selectively applied with zero-tolerance. Always in subs with a population of fascist mods, and always applied against people making anti-fascist comments. What a fucking coincidence.

  99% sure - all the messages say “this action was performed automatically” and if I DO get a reply to a service ticket via email, it says “Thank you for your request, it has been received!” Which means they’re continually closing the ticket I’m replying to asking for help.

    Well sucks for them I guess. Maybe they shouldn’t have banned a contributing user for no apparent reason.
    
    Oh well. Couldn’t have happened to a worse website.

    I made sure to replace all my comments and posts with obscene lorem ipsum before leaving.

    Yes, AND STILL - for someone whose only connection to those communities is online, still really sucks. Hopefully they reform elsewhere after the eventual implosion

Not only that, but they actively hindered any external tools. If you’re Blind and Reddit’s accessibility isn’t good enough? Tough luck.

Whereas back in the day, someone might have built a more accessible app, if Reddit hadn’t had one.

The AI moderation was it for me.

The only way reddit is useful to me now is for finding user’s answers to questions using a google search. For which I do not need to login or contribute to the site.
