Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content

  Shadowbanning in Europe is very hard to pull off without crossing DSA and GDPR rules, which require transparency and informing of the user. Specifically DSA Article 17.

  Here’s a Dutch case regarding it: dsa-observatory.eu/…/the-dsas-first-shadow-bannin…

  I’m posting this because if you are European, you should be informed of any shadowban, which makes it a normal ban by definition. If you had to investigate and found out you are shadowbanned, your rights have been violated. I think the best way to get something going is by using a certified out-of-court dispute settlement body, although there’s probably a lot of other ways. And if you don’t want to return to Reddit anymore, it might be fun to throw some legal shit at their shit platform on your way out.

    My reddit account suddenly got a lot of “server errors”, can’t post anymore and likes don’t count towards the streak. Since getting the “Network errors” I’ve also been getting 0 interaction.

    I do actually live in the Netherlands now, what could I do to try and cause some chaos for this bs without paying for it? It happened to my last reddit account as well which a subreddit mod literally told me was shadow banned (like over 5 years ago now) and I should get that checked out.

      How recently did this happen to you? I get errors now too and am wondering if there was a recent Reddit ban wave
