Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time.
Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org 22 hours agoWell the sentence that initially got me a three day ban was “Hitler did nothing wrong” which I’m aware doesn’t look good on paper but it was a quote and not my own words. According to Reddit the decision was automated so I appealed what I thought was an honest mistake and that’s when they probably saw my recent posts promoting Lemmy and talking about Palestine and decided to ban me permanently. That or they didn’t like that I filed an appeal. I haven’t used Reddit nearly as much since getting on Lemmy anyway so this is more funny than annoying but still a weird way to go.

Having gone cold turkey and just left, it’s weird no matter how you leave. Realizing how addicted I was, was kind of hard for my psyche.

It’s next to impossible to go back anyways, people are getting banned eventually. I’ve been seeing reports of people’s 5+years acc getting shadow banned for very little reason it doesn’t make sense. A comment removal, low karma, cqs scores, age is enough to trigger a full site wide shadowban.

I bet they’re focusing on the old.r users, they’ve been wanting to get rid of that for awhile. If they shadowban you and leave on your own randomly, there won’t be another mass exodus. That’s conjecture though.

Spez loves Elon. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was bending the knee to try and get Elon to buy Reddit.

Sounds a lot like what happened on Xitter after Musk took over. I suspect they are intentionally targeting left wingers.

I feel you. ‚But my Account is 8years old and I ha e so much comment karma‘… can’t buy shit with reddit Karma and you basically work to make fucking spez more Money. Just delete the Account and Never come back, it’s a shithole anyway and you just want to hold on to old old.reddit

I did not communicate that well. I didn’t mean “just left” as in recently, I meant I left out of the blue 100%. When I’m done with something, I’m done. Did the same with lemmy .world. I don’t log in and I don’t look at any of the old places. Randomly, I get info from a search, but that’s it.
