News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
 

When I say dead users, I mean ones who have been banned, suspended, or deleted (probably after they got banned). I see this so often when browsing posts, and it is so reflective of the problems I have been faced with as well. I'll be scrolling through a post, and sometimes unironically like 50% of all comments have the stupid little profile picture with its back turned, and when I hover over it it has either been suspended or deleted.

I have been having major issues where I've basically been permanently wiped off the platform over some bullshit permaban and can't get it appealed, and it is just shocking that so many other people are obviously just getting completely swept away by these same bullshit bans. How is Reddit going to survive like this? It's to the point where any sort of long-term engagement on the site just seems impossible because soon enough the CIA-level, all seeing AI will catch you in its net and then you're done.

Even if they miraculously change their system to not have the world's most oppressive ban system, what happens to everyone who's already been banned? Will a decent percentage of the entire platform just be fucked for life because they were on the platform at the wrong place and the wrong time?

the overmoderation not by humans is everywhere, I have to watch what I say on tiktok now, things that I thought arent even bad get misinterpreted and not appelaed occasionally and the strikes pile up, while some things that I prob shouldnt have said and should be taken down get appealed and put back up lol

Not only that but if you use Reddit Enhancement Suite you can only view 100 posts before they all start duplicating. It's enough to make people like me leave the site.

I don't even remember what the comment was that got me a reddit permaban but it was laughable.

I left and deleted my account. My content should have been deleted, and not useable for AI training, but who knows.

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Reddit considers the content of your posts theirs, not yours. They did not delete your posts. Even though that violates the GDPR. You should have used a bot to edit/remove the body of all your posts before deleting your account.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

Oh well, I tried.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Those bots don't work. I've used all of them. The posts come back after a few days or weeks.

[–] Maestro@fedia.io 1 points 4 days ago

You need to tweak them to slow down. Something like 1 edit every 5 seconds or so.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

that doesn't delete your content, even deleting your content doesn't remove it from the servers and it can still be used for training, just not scraping

I’m permabanned for signing in on public WiFi, and since that’s enough to get you kicked off now, I doubt they’ll have many actual human users much longer. It’s like they just want bots, and no one real.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

The thing about a bot Silo is that once people catch on the spell is broken, and anyone can make one there's no moat. If they go to the bar out there well sooner or later find themselves completely irrelevant

I only mentioned the technical neatness of Guillotines; got me also banned.

But Lemmy feels better day by day anyway :)

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 3 points 5 days ago

Reddit refugee here i never got my reddit account banned I just put the text I quit on its about me and left reddit (trying to find a alternative which was here on lemmy) but maybe one day it will get banned

im permabanned poster redditshitposter58. i first started reading reddit when i was about 12. by 14 i got really obsessed with the concept of "shit posting" and tried to channel it constantly, until my posting process got really bizarre and i would repeat things like "amaze balls" and "this" in my head for hours, and i would get really paranoid, start seeing things in the corners of my eyes etc, basically prodromal schizophrenia. im now on antipsychotics. i always wondered what the kind of "bad" style of reddit humor was all about; i think it's the unconscious leaking in to the conscious, what jungian theory considered to be the cause of schizophrenic and schizotypal syptoms. i would advise all people who "use" reddit to be careful because that likely means you have a predisposition to a mental illness. peace.
