Unfortunately probably a lot fewer will move than we expect. People seem capable of accepting all sorts of shittification in favour of actively changing their platform. Just look at how many still uses twitter, despite its literal nazification.

I’m permaband from Reddit but I miss some local subs. I hope this encourages people to move away to something else.

How do they permaban you? By IP address? I can’t see how they could verify a new user being the same person as a old one. Email address is trivial to get around too.

I got permabanned a while ago. In the time since, I’ve moved to a new country and gotten all new devices. Made a new account with a new email address to try to join local subs in the new area.
That account was banned a couple hours later for ban evasion. I had made zero comments or posts and hadn’t joined any of my old subs. After that, I assumed they just have an AI that auto bans a chunk of new accounts “just in case”, because I genuinely have no idea what they could have done to connect the two accounts to each other.

They use several metrics to fingerprint you supposedly. I’m sure there’s a work around but I’m too fucking lazy for that when it comes to socials.

lol jeez this Voyager app looks very much like Hydra Reddit app and I am very recently permabanned from Reddit for anti Trump/ICE/Pedo comments. I have the flu and am not thinking clearly about what app I was using.

That honestly isn’t possible. I have several accounts perma banned and I just make new ones. VMs circumvent hardware ID mapping, VPNs circumvent IP banning. Until they require phone numbers to create accounts circumventing their bans is childs play.

If I have to go through any of that it really isn’t worth it.

how did you get permabanned?
anon_8675309@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Someone posted they wished Trump would die (basically). I said nah, let him stroke out and suffer.
That was like my last strike. Before I had said stuff like Miller is a nazi and stuff(prove me wrong Reddit!). People would report those as threatening harm and I don’t think the Reddit goons really care so yeah…

I was just permabanned on 3 accounts for anti-ice/trump/pedo comments. 2 existing accounts were 10 years old. One was pretty much just for NSFW/NSFL stuff and I rarely commented on anything with.
One new one I made afterwards was permabanned within 5 hours for ban evasion.
Somehow I forgot I’d made one with “sign in with Apple” a while back and it was on my iPad. That account still works fine.
It’s weird.

All of my accounts got permabanned on Reddit for calling someone “A piece of fucking human garbage” for saying that only vulnerable and old people died from Covid and how Covid wasn’t a big deal. I lost friends in their 20s to it.
Apparently what I said was inciting hatred and violence. But saying a deadly pandemic that killed millions “wasn’t a big deal”, and “Your friends were probably going to die anyway” is perfectly okay to Reddit Admins.

Sorry if you did end up reading the comment I deleted. I misread your comment and thought you were denying COVID. I’m over here flighting off the flu (even though I got flu shot) and not thinking clearly.
