  • This perm ban lasted 2 days. The reddit ban bullshit is really getting out of hand. I’ve made many posts here regarding how their “report” system is totally fucked up. Yet they continue to allow those who spend their days “reporting” posts and comments. The tool admin then site bans you. You make a coherent logical appeal and eventually an Admin who is sane reinstates you. I have never seen or experienced this nonsense with Lemmy. I wish we could get more exposure over at reddit as an easy to deal with alternative. Also - this has been mentioned before, But - would you rather interact with a post that has 40 or 50 comments max like Lemmy or the usual reddit thing of 500 comments which insure that no one will ever read your comment







  • Agreed and come to grips with the simple reality - if you keep doing the same thing over and over again why would you expect a different outcome. reddit has an overall theme and some keep bumping heads with that theme. Time to move on because YOU are not going to change it. Would you go to an Aquarium expecting to see a zebra?


  • As a former mod also, here’s what I found. There is a post or comment in your group. It doesn’t violate the rules of reddit. You are not calling for violence. You are not being a jerk to other posters. But what you post does not conform with the narrative that reddit pushes. So a troll that comes to your group goes crazy because there is someone with an opinion that conflicts with theirs. Oh the horror. They “report” the comment or post. An Admin who is probably a jerk since most of them are, is also pissed at “my god” someone with a “bad” opinion sees the report. And now they ban you site wide. So the mods of that group have zero say in it. The ironic part is the Admin clown needs to site a reason in their ban message to the user. And since you haven’t violated the rules they just lie. Their new favorite is “calling for violence”. In the world of reddit, if you have a contrary opinion you are calling for violence.

    The way this should work is Admins who see a report should not site wide ban anyone. The Admins should message the GROUP mods and say remove this post or comment and then ban them from your group for 7 days, a month, etc.
