i think people were shocked that all thier accounts were banned simulataneous, despite some of them not participating in the same subs, around the same time. they just went after every account in your ip address.

Thanks haha, I was never really rah rah into reddit itself but it had a lot of cool niche subs for hobbies and such and that's where I spent most of my time not even in the default or political subs.
BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 months ago
i got nuked right after some dummy account asked if i want to add a new mod on my sub. a couple of days later - voila - i’m actually a malicious bot boo this bot motherfucker. that was suspicious and for what - i’m literally dropping read/watch later shit

I could never understand why people cared about their social media accounts.
Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 2 months ago
Because whether you like it or not, social media is the easy-track to connect with people of all varying degrees and connect through common interests and even ideals. It's a lot easier than in the 2000s and 1990s when all you've had was an e-mail and probably chat room hopping. You just had to know someone else's e-mail like you would have to know someone's number to call them, that's how it worked.
With social media, you can just breeze through friend lists and comb over searches to find friends and everything far easier. It's easier to connect with people that way than ever before. And losing out on that, can sting.
I sometimes wished it wasn't that way, but the people have largely decided we needed something more than just writing e-mails to eachother.

if you start having a social network within a social media, a ban can hurt.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 months ago
especially a sitewide ban preventing you from making a new account, of which they dont tell you the offense.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 months ago
probably some have ties to smaller communities of specific category(not news or politics), like your into tech, or cars, or CARD GAMES, or console games. or specific discussions.

Same. My comment was “fuck trump and Obama” arguing about using drones to order civilians abroad. Do you remember what your violent advocation was?

I suggested drawing in chalk on the street outside of the governor’s mansion, to protest the GIANT chalk Christ she had commissioned across the driveway to celebrate Easter one year.

no OP.
I got the F out and deleted my old posts every time they restored them until they stayed gone.
Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 2 months ago
Deleting your posts was a waste of time. Chances are likely that it is archived on their end.
Reddit has been paying close attention to behavior patterns of banned users and users they wouldn't want on their platform. It's likely they've gotten your posting imprint and just give you the comfort of thinking you've deleted your posts.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 months ago
deleting your account also wont stop them from finding your new accounts, they mostly archived that as well. they look at browser fingerprinting, device, device components, time zone discrepancy, browser size and VERSION, resolution,etc. if you use any paid service/trial service that can spoof any of these above and they arnt the correct versions, they can detect that.
and then theres the warming up period with new accounts(like not posting, reporting, or upvoting too fast after account creation)
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
They were archived as they restored them several times. But I kept the account and every time they restored them, I used software to go in and wipe them back out. They’re still not visible on the front end to this day. Maybe they’ll do something AI with them, but they don’t show up in Google search anymore.

You can download everything posted on Reddit prior to the great op ban in a torrent. So yeah it’s still out there.

RiverRabbits@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Was it your plan to hit em with the left right politics punch, or…?
Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
No it was under a postof news that the CEO again got raised while the trains were delaid heavier than ever and that a lot of bureaucracy holds it back. Its not politics. Litterly just we need to redo how to organise our trains!
