It’s incredibly annoying how sensitive Reddit is. You can get banned for the smallest things and even without evidence. I get wanting to foster community and communication but they will stagnate much more wrinkly than other social media apps with their current policies. I don’t see how they’ll keep growing and satisfy shareholders with their banning happy way of doing things. I do not feel like setting up another email and using a different VPN location every time they ban me.

BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 days agoAfter the Inauguration, Musk visited Spez on February, and they permabanned thousands, perhaps millions of their most active users. I had a 12 year account, nearly a million Karma, and I was permabanned for repeating an opinion that I had posted numerous times without a word from any mod. Trump gets inaugurated, and suddenly it’s enough to get me permabanned.
And there were lots of others. The purge gutted Reddit, and left it filled with nothing but bots and trolls.

They didn’t use to be that way. I went a decade with no bans or warnings, but the last years got crazy. It fell completely apart after Trump was inaugurated.

i believe musk complained at least 2 occasions, against r/whitepeopletwitter and then in general. which led to more aggressive bans. whats new is that when they temporarily suspended, all your other accounts that participated in the same subs were also banned. plus shadowbans were also increasing as well.
Reddit started deploying thier AI moderation at the same time, which led to shadowbans and regular bans, which wernt appealable in most cases.
