A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.

I see these characters and I immediately think of the @yiffit user lol
No one regrets getting banned from nazi digg.
I don't regret being banned from the fly [Reddit] licking the Nazi shit [Twitter]. But I think it's important for people advertising Lemmy there to know.
all the right wingers that got butthurt from youtube, reddit fled to facebook, because it gives them admin privileges, i had one that fled to fb, and try to bring down a sub by having his incel supports from youtube brigade the sub,(sub is mostly partially unmoderated.) it was a bunch of asian poc youtube channel, what a "disgrace" by siding with someone like that in the whitehouse/
That's not a shadowban, that's a straight up suspension.
A shadowban is just when your posts and comments are filtered and hidden from others.
Yes, it is a shadowban. It fits perfectly what you said: the posts and comments are filtered and hidden from the others.
Here is another proof that this is a shadowban:
Left: the content is shown to the user when they're logged in, and they can still submit new content.
Right: the content is not shown to someone who is logged off.
On the other hand, a typical suspension leaves the content visible for everyone else, it tells the user "you've been permanently suspended from Reddit [insert gaslighting message]", and the user cannot submit new content.
Note that a shadowban is considerably worse than a suspension. Not that I care, though - I'm sharing this here because it is relevant for people trying to convince others to migrate to the Fediverse.
Oh that's weird. I just got straight-up banned the other day for saying something bad about Nazis 😂
i keep hearing how the obvious bots are trying to sanewash trump, or nazis in general by saying, its dangerous to keep calling trump facist or a nazi, and it says it "normalizes him"
I straight up got my account of 2 years deleted for advertising Lemmy lol, nothing of value was lost that day
RIP ;_;7
They're really trying to repeat the fate of Digg, aren't they? People would advertise the shit out of Reddit in Digg, to encourage users to move. Well - perhaps we should test if history does repeat itself.
I was always one of the people that cycled an account every few months. Wish I didn't so that I could have used one of those tools though.
Fuck Reddit, they banned me because I reported discrimination and it was easier to get rid of the whiner than do their jobs.
Now I can't talk nerdshit about The Sims anymore
Get the sims community started on Lemmy. Try to convince some people to join
Gwanda blitz!
did they say you reported too much? on several accs, i had either a temp ban from that sub, or instant lecture from a mod, saying "you cant report this person, just because you dont like his comment" i was thinking then, what is a reportable offense, like its spamming/botting, isnt that reportable, like do you want me to engage and argue, which makes its worst?. my most recent one which got me the recent ban was "you can report this much in this sub, and we think you are "brigading" so we are temporarily banning you sitewide, which triggered the sites AI bot to ban multiple accounts sitewide without giving a reason. how can you say you are fighting botting/spamming from countries like RU when your MODS, and admins are banning the reporter. turns out your site needs the RU bots, simply because they make close to half of comments and engagement in certain communities.
Thing is they didn't warn me or anything, they just jumped to the perma ban and I had to find out from numerous appeal attempts where Inever got a non-bot response
I moderate r/spezholedesign and have set up AutoModerator to promote Lemmy on all posts. I have made a post directly linking to lemmy.world and nothing has happened. I've never gotten shadowbanned or suspended
I have no idea why I was shadowbanned and you weren't, then. Perhaps account age and/or karma had a role? (My account was five days old, and barely any karma.)
That's probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don't ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.
Any suggestions on what I can do with a 12 year old account? I tried using it for the first time in two years to hype local protests.
I am permanently banned from r/politics
You can't save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I'd be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit's mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.
I'd imagine in that particular case it felt like spam. If someone came through here and was named Nick_From_Nike and only posted in threads related to Nike and only positively about Nike, I feel like many would quirk a brow.
Are we seeing shadowbans with established accounts that don't have lemmy in their username? Considering r/redditalternatives is still going strong, seems unlikely.
Good, I was getting fed up with being told over there that Canadians are useless and can't make a difference... this just tells me they're worried because we ARE making a difference🍁
Woah...Reddit is anti-Canada? Honestly Reddit has always given me bad vibes, and from the sounds of things it's just getting worse...
Not sure where they're all coming from, but there's this group who are there just to harass Canadians and they've been noticeably growing in numbers. One recent post was a very detailed, well-written plan about how the US is going to take over Canada, step by step. So it's not just small-time nonsense anymore. It's bad.
smells more like back by troll farms for RU, they always do this kind of sht. remember they had to use jack prosebic to astroturf luigi news last month. since canadians, hopefully are cancelling thier plans to florida, the state is going to suffer massively if nobody visits pro-gop disney parks
Sorry, I don't understand a lot of what you're saying... sounds very techie to me, and I'm not the brightest that way.
RU as russian bots, drive alot of engagement(mostly in political subs, and news subs, they are behind all the misinformation in social media) and have been known to subsists most of the comments in those subs, luigi was the guy that shot a health insurance CEO, and everyone but the billionaires and thier MSM were applauding him. overtime news about luigi was being suppressed by reddit, and and on msms as well, as recently as last month a "social media influencer by the name of jack proesebic(owner of end wokeness) tried to astroturf him, and the account(jack who married a "russian-back wife" works as influencer for putin, similar to other right wing griftersd)
Reddit is a horrible place
The exact rules of what links are banned varies from subreddit to subreddit. After posting a comment, I usually check in a private browser window to make sure it wasn't filtered.
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Three-ish years ago, my comments kept getting eaten by shitty regexes, and I threw my hands up and started placing that after every fucking vowel. It worked everywhere except the few subs so pants-on-head stupid that they had a secret maximum comment length. I just. I don't. Fuck some moderators, y'know? Some people cannot be trusted with the tiniest bit of power. Misery multipliers.
Related unicode shenanigans: inhibit symmetric swapping, pop directional isolate, zero width non-joiner, zero width space. I have more I'll keep in reserve.
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
And odds are that the admins are basically running some glorified version of AutoMod, so fucking with their regex would work nicely. I'll try this next account, thank you! (Also adding it to the OP)
Yeah we don't need Reddit to advertise Lemmy. I don't use reddit and reddit is obviously guarded against competitors since they're a corporation. I guess discord would be a better way to advertise Lemmy since it's not direct competition. So I guess post Lemmy links there
