I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.
To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.
I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.
Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.
EDIT: Been testing some more with a 2 week old account. Discovered that Reddit is also autobanning accounts that use the word “guillotine”. I left a comment that literally only consisted of the word “guillotine”, no other context at all, and within 30 seconds I was auto-suspended for 3 days.
If the mod who was in here telling people I was lying with no proof whatsoever, and who also lied about testing my methods, would like to test this out, or lie about testing it out, that would be great.
And, for the record, my username for the account just suspended actually has the word “Guillotine” in it. So apparently their bots don’t screen usernames. Just contents of comments, and I’m assuming posts. I don’t bother posting on Reddit, so I don’t know about that one.
As I originally stated, Reddit is complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.
Edit 2: Despite a mod on this sub claiming that I’m lying and threatening to delete this post, here is more proof from users on Reddit that Reddit is, in fact, auto banning users for discussing our Constitutional rights.
I’ve been seeing more and more Reddit users talking about this.
You must log in or # to comment.
Not enough people are leaving Reddit and they are not leaving fast enough
Most likely related to the today’s murder of that woman by ICE
This is something I’ve been testing over the last 6 months.
That’s even worse. Indicates a planned action to shut down discontent.
As far as I can tell, it very much is.
Silence the agitators so the federal government doesn’t put pressure on Reddit.
We live in an age of cowardice as far as our media/corporations go.
Does /r/liberalgunowners even exist anymore?
It does, but OP says it doesn’t.
It can’t, OP said something happened so it must be true
You could stop talking shit and test it out yourself.
It’s not like I haven’t given all the details necessary for people to test on their own if they have doubts.
Try it and get back to us. I’m sure as a moderator your input after testing would be valuable to us all.
P.S. I screen grabbed this exchange.
You screen grabbed yourself being afraid to answer a question? Why on earth would you want to remember that?
I don’t need to try it because I see tons of pro-2A content that isn’t what you wrote, which I am assuming was a direct threat, since you’re afraid to admit it
And yes, I am a mod, one who hates misinformation and has debated removing this post since you made it.
You screen grabbed yourself being afraid to answer a question?
You’re a mod. Not a good one, but one nonetheless. Your job is to read. Read all my comments, including from today. What other questions do you have? People who aren’t full of themselves asked me good questions which led to me adding more details in some of my comments.
which I am assuming
Well, when you assume you make an ASS out of U and ME. Try to do it less. I assure you it was not a direct threat. Whether you believe that is of no consequence to me.
one who hates misinformation
Then test it out my man. What better way to confirm it’s misinformation? But again, to be a good mod you need to read ALL my comments to make sure you’re testing under the same set of circumstances that I’ve detailed.
and has debated removing this post since you made it.
A mod who removes posts for misinformation without verifying that it’s misinformation is no better than a bad Reddit mod.
Screen grabbed.
Tested it. Didn’t get banned.
You realize screen capturing your own admissions about your shortcomings isn’t a threat to me, right? Idk how else to say that lol. Sorry if it sounds mean dude but you need to back up your claims with evidence. If being asked for evidence triggers you this much, idk what to tell you
If you’re still using reddit then you are complicit in the takeover too.
You gotta siphon off the content and users while ad blocking.
I’ve thought a out that. Would people appreciate it if I were to repost a bunch if things from reddit all the time? I don’t want to start spamming
i personally don’t mind, but i think some communities have rules about not reposting from reddit
Would people appreciate it if I were to repost a bunch if things from reddit all the time? I don’t want to start spamming
They would if the content hasn’t been posted yet on lemmy.
I don’t feel sufficiently motivated to make a reddit account again, but if I did I’d focus on reposting from communities for which there isn’t an active equivalent on Lemmy yet. The long tail of niche interests is the thing that’s most missing right now
deleted by creator
same - but be sure to contribute to the niches here when you can, so the people from there have a reason to start coming here :)
Be the change you want to see.
I only continue to use Reddit to combat misinformation, defend our Constitution, and promote Lemmy.
I’ve never given them a dime. I block all ads.
Combatting misinfo on corpo sites is a lost cause. They put their thumb on the scale.
Your traffic is measured by them and used to increase their numbers when making ad sales. Regardless of whether you have given them any money and blocked all their ads, you still count as traffic to the site, and that is what they are selling to advertisers.
So, yes, even though you don’t intentionally give them any money, the majority of the money they make is from the valuation placed on traffic to the site, which you continue contributing to.
I guess that begs the question, is spending the majority of your time on a generally censorship free site like Lemmy, but continuing to spend some time on the most popular site of its kind that does censor, in order to combat misinformation, defend our rights, and promote a better site morally wrong? Is it worth conbributing to their ad revenue? When you know the site is so popular it isn’t going anywhere anyway?
Either way, this is a Lemmy sub about Reddit and you can’t really know everything that’s going on with Reddit unless you’re logged in and contributing in some way.
Personally, I believe correcting misinformation and spreading awareness about our rights is worth continuing to login on a sporadic basis.
Well, something to consider is that engaging on Reddit isn’t even on the level of limited individual action like voting is. You’re having a cascading effect on the viability of the site by engaging with other people. It’s what makes the site function. You’re the product for advertisers in more ways than one.
Besides, clearly you believe in the power of collective action making a difference, given you’re promoting firearms training with others. Same energy applies to withdrawing from the site.
You aren’t changing minds online. Boycott them all already.
It’s not always about the people you’re arguing with. It’s often about people who might be reading the comment chains, and can be influenced
Bingo.
Myself, along with everyone else, have spent our lives being influenced by all sorts of things, both obvious and subliminal. I have absolutely read comments online over the course of my life, especially when I was younger, that helped make me more informed or forced me to challenge something I believed.
I wouldn’t know half the stats I know regarding politics if it wasn’t for comments left by informed individuals online that led me elsewhere to confirm those stats.
Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.
This is weird, but I’m not sure - if this was to do with the current administration, why they would ban promoting the second amendment? Wouldn’t it be the other way around?
Fascists now hold power and they don’t want people putting up resistance. Textbook exactly what Nazi germany did.
In the coming week I bet he’ll talk about “disarming the crazy, leftist terrorists.” The MAGAts will applaud it until the knock come on THEIR door.
Reddit’s co-founder and CEO is a guy named Steve Huffman (spez). There’s been controversy regarding him for well over a decade as he’s a right wing trashcan of a human. At one point he was caught editing comments that upset him.
We’ve watched a number of other corporations bend the knee and prostrate themselves for Trump’s administration because they cower in the face of intimidation and/or benefit from the Trump administration’s corruption. Reddit is now one of them. The same thing happened in Nazi Germany. Many companies chose to side with the Nazis out of fear or benefit.
Reddit is an EXTREMELY popular social media site and the only one so popular that is undeniably left leaning. That is a major threat to Trump’s fascist regime. So Reddit is working overtime to appease their masters and suppress American free speech.
Huffman was also made moderator of the “jailbait” subreddit after having given the head my mod of the cp sub an award for being one of the most active subs. Steve Huffman condones the sexual exploitation of children via his actions at reddit.
Lmao, so decades of child’s shooting up schools, 2a is a-ok!
Resistance to ICE gestappo, 2a banned?
Well it’s on brand for this country at least.
It’s Reddit. It’s a cesspool run by trash humans.
So yes, you can talk about guns and the 2nd amendment all you want when children are being murdered in school, but if fascists control the government, you gotta stop that, because you’re now an “agitator”.
It’s Reddit. It’s a cesspool run by trash humans.
Yeah, corporate advertisers.
Can’t speak of violence guns or anything else, lest it upset the VERY kinds of people looking for that “Disney” sensibility the Mayor of Minneapolis refered to last night, after he got asked about dropping the F-bomb in response to the shooting yesterday.
It’s squeeky-clean and “sanitized” for your protection, now that it had it’s IPO and went mainstream.
Come on, what do we all expect? Everyone here is old enough to know how this all rolls.
It’s all got to be puppies and daffodils and fairy tales that keep the shoppers feeling safe and spending.
Capitalism 101: Keep the consumers warm and fuzzy.
The real issue are the trash humans running the site and dictating the rules that have driven us all to Lemmy.
Well, I got bad news for you on that front, too.
I know. I’m not saying Lemmy is perfect. But the only censorship I’ve experienced was on .ml (surprise surprise) and I haven’t been banned, not even from an individual sub/instance.
It’s got problems but it isn’t Reddit levels of trash.
Lemmy allows me to support our Constitutional rights. That alone makes it better than Reddit.
The issue here is that there isn’t really a way to ban anyone. No matter how many times they vote or how many AI chat bots they use to keep their accounts active.
How do you even have multiple accounts get banned, without all of them getting banned?
I’ll repost what I posted to someone else’s comment.
I only run Reddit in a private browsing window. When they permaban me I reset the browser and close it, open up a new private window, create a new Reddit account with a throwaway email and I’m back in and don’t get permabanned again until I promote our Constitutional rights or tell a Trump supporter their mother shouldn’t have carried to term and get reported for hurting their feelings.
So I’m assuming they catch account hoppers via cookies.
I even have a browser script that auto-adds all my subs back so I don’t lose all my subs. There’s some nuance to that though as if the script auto-adds too many subs too quickly, you’ll get flagged and auto-banned. So I have to set the script to only add one sub every 5000ms and then leave that tab alone while it adds all my subs. I only care about the subs at all because Lemmy doesn’t have all the really specific subs I find myself sometimes needing to post on for answers to specific shit.
That’s interesting. I hadn’t thought about cookies. I had my account permabanned and when I tried to make a new one using another email account, it got banned instantly for trying to circumvent the ban. So I tried it again with a VPN running…same thing.
I didn’t actually care that much, so I didn’t bother trying harder than that. Thanks for the info.
If you’re not rotating your IP every time then you’re getting hit for ban evasion triggered by keyword detection or reports
Finally! Only took them 20 years.
Are they axing all the conservative subs or just focusing in on the really fascist ones?
Oh… no, wait. I’m receiving a note. Nevermind, that’s not what is happening at all.
Only since a war us about to start and they have weapons already.
I’m glad they permabanned me now. I wouldn’t have left if they didn’t and being permabanned for what they did for, plus seeing stuff like this, plus knowing Maxwell is moderating on the network again, it’s a good thing.
Thanks Reddit and fuck you Spez.

I am very interested in this. Would you mind sharing it anywhere?
Yeah, I’ll share it right here. It’s just a script you copy/paste into your browser’s console. Basically, you’re on a page that lists all your subs with a “join” button next to them. The script tells the browser to click the “join” button then move to the next one and click “join”, so on and so forth.
-
Visit https://old.reddit.com/subreddits/ using your old account
-
Copy link address of “multireddit of your subscriptions” you can see on the right side near the top.
It will give you a link address like this: https://old.reddit.com/r/[subreddit1+subreddit2...+subredditN]
-
Visit that link using your new account.
-
Open the console in your browser by pressing F12 and then click the console tab
-
Paste the code below and press enter (everything I put between the =====)
================================================
const sub = () => {
let btn = document.querySelector(".add.active"); if(btn) { btn.click(); setTimeout('sub()', 5000); } else { alert("You have subscribed to all the subreddits successfully"); return; }}
setTimeout(‘sub()’, 5000);
=============================================
Like I said, it can take a while if you have a lot of subs because of that 5000ms delay between each “click” to prevent Reddit from detecting you’re adding too many subs too quickly. So just leave that tab alone for a while. Then, make sure you refresh that tab when done, because sometimes there will be a few subs that the script didn’t work on for some reason and I just have to find them in the list and manually click the “join” button. Worked fine with every sub on the new account I created yesterday though.
So when I’m banned I just copy that big “multireddit of your subscriptions” link and paste it into a notepad window temporarily. Then I reset my browser, open it back up and open a private browsing tab, create a new Reddit account, and continue following the steps above. I also have a browser (Brave) set aside specifically for Reddit. That way I can reset my browser and not really care about clearing settings for other sites.
-
how are you making throwaway emails? I found that a pita when I was trying to make an account (after they IP banned me or whatever) so I could access a few specific communities for help
reddit seemed to insta shadowban my account if I used any of those temp email generators, and creating an actual email on a mainstream service takes annoyingly long
I just create a new account on Outlook.com every time. Takes like 60 seconds, if that. Once I create it I only need it to get the Reddit confirmation email. Then I never need it again.
Yeah nah they can fuck off. They get no more traffic from me.
Your workaround is pretty cool though and if it works for you, yeah.
Mine was a strong account as well, I think I had around 150k karma and I’d actively be involved in a lot of subs.
I’d rather stay here now and help build this.
My first account was 13 years old with 250k comment karma and was permabanned without warning for saying “It’s OK to punch a Nazi.”
Yeah, focus your time on helping Lemmy grow.
I got that much karma election year just sharing information everywhere. Really enjoyed that account was making friends and shit. What they do is they send bots or something once they notice you are popular to report all of your posts. So that gets you suspended and then you appeal. Takes 24 hours to get it looked at and approved… then they send the bots right back at you immediately to report your old posts. Over and over and over and over effectively banning you without banning you.
That’s what they do to people that follow the rules.
Fuck Reddit.
Yeah see there you go. That’s a frame and put on the wall statement.
Mine was for agreeing with a Muslim woman on the Fauxmoi sub that the reason the bloke who disarmed that Bondi shooter and didn’t kill him afterward was that he’s a peaceful Muslim. That was my thought when I saw it, most Muslims I’ve met are exceptionally peaceful people. I said ‘I thought the same…thanks for your insight.’
That got a permaban. I appealed it and it failed. I’m not the only one I think, I’m certain there were a few others as well. So that’s inciting violence.
My interpretation is that the narrative of Islam or Muslims possibly being peaceful in nature isn’t one they want put out there. It doesn’t surprise me, as I said Maxwell is back on the site so it’s not hard to work out what’s happening.
I’ve noticed in the last year or so that more and more usernames on Reddit are the auto-generated ones you can opt to use when creating a new account. They all have the same general format. And it’s not like they’re all bots. For the most part they leave comments that are clearly not bot comments. My assumption is that so many people are being banned, so regularly, that when they come back with new profiles they’re just going with the auto-generated usernames because they know they’re just gonna get banned again, so why bother being creative?
plus knowing Maxwell is moderating on the network again
Fucking what??? Jesus Christ.
Just to be clear: Account suspension (i.e. a ban from the entire website) or a ban from, say, r/herpderp. The former is from paid reddit employees, the latter is from volunteer user moderators.
Yes.
But Reddit also employes site-wide automated banning. The instances of banning that I’m talking about all happened essentially instantly. It was a bot that banned me site-wide.
It’s also possible they’re auto banning based on IP address. Have you tried this with a VPN and a new server each time?
I don’t see how it could be based on IP. I don’t do anything IP related during this process and my accounts can last for months before being banned within a minute of posting a pro 2A comment with what I believe are key words the ban bot is looking for.
I’ve got a VPN, but I’m usually alternating between gaming and Reddit and I’m not gonna run a VPN while I’m gaming. I don’t care enough about Reddit to do that.
Make sure if you are doing this you use an EU server as otherwise VPN use will result in an instant shadowban
Do they not do that in the EU?
I wonder if you can promote it in the conservative subs? Probably only if your entire account is right-wing bullshit to begin with.
They only killed off certain right wing subs when legitimate threats on there were posted against state police one time. They coddle the right and villainize those left of them.
I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now.
I mean, you’re breaking their rules right up front. That could mean they’re banning you simply based on that rule, and nothing necessarily to do with rights advocation.
Unless of course you’re doing a top job of disguising each new acct. AFAIK, they’re pretty good at detecting that stuff… (I mean accts that aren’t IP-related and such)
Unless of course you’re doing a top job of disguising each new acct.
I am. That’s why some of these accounts are months old before being banned within less than a minute of posting a pro 2A comment. It’s an automated bot ban based on the content of my comment, which, like I said, contains no calls to violence or anything else that breaks Reddit’s rules. My suspicion is that if your comment contains a few key words, that’s all the bot is looking for. I don’t believe those words need to be in sequence, just anywhere within your comment. So it could be looking for “arm yourself”, “rights”, or “train” anywhere in your comment.
If you’ve been on Reddit long enough, you know that whenever kids get their heads blown off, which is all the time, there’s a sea of Reddit comments supporting the 2nd amendment and basically stating that the sacrifice is worth the right. No problems there.
But now…all of a sudden…automated instabans on pro 2A comments.
It’s become pretty obvious what’s going on.
Okay, fair enough, but that brings up another angle–
What if they have a site-wide bias (and they almost certainly do, for perfectly good reasons), for new accts and/or little-used accts to demonstrate a level of non-controversial engagement before passing a certain litmus test… in which the accts are later allowed much more freedom to post & comment upon controversial matters?The good-faith test, so to speak.
Because without a shred of doubt, there most be a huge influx of new and sleeper accts that are created for sockpuppet, propaganda, and destabilization purposes, apart from whatever political angle they’re coming from.
So isn’t it possible you’re getting tripped up right there? Which is why I’m thinking a far better test would be to bring up the 2A from older accts with solid karma and solid analytics (rrc.fyi, reveddit.com, snoosnoop.com, etc)
That person doesn’t seem willing to share any details of their setup, but you don’t have to take them at their word.
Just search “arm yourself” on Reddit and you’ll see a ton of such messages, from non banned accounts, posted in the last few hours and beyond. Most of them are written in the context of the current regime and the ICE shooting too so the premise of this whole post seems to be wrong. Most of them are on subs that are wildly anti-regime and don’t mince words about it.
OP seems to think they have perfect opsec which is generally a sign of mediocre opsec. I’d take their conclusions with a huge grain of salt.
And what do you know about these matters, Bobb?
I read it in a crudely xeroxed pamphlet, of course 🌭
Well, isn’t that the way! :D
Hmm, there is much to ponder, here…
You can take as many grains of salt as you want. Open a salt mine.
If you read through my comments I’ve made it clear that I believe it is a combination of keywords that are initiating these auto-bans. But those keywords aren’t breaking site rules. It is a behind-the-scenes effort by Reddit to ban users who have used a combination of these key words in their comments, despite those key words not amounting to breaking any rules.
So “arm yourself” alone won’t get you banned, and nowhere, in any of my comments, did I imply that. In my original post I paraphrased what got me banned this time because Reddit deleted the comment so I couldn’t copy/paste. But that paraphrase includes a few key things that I think triggers an auto-ban.
So if I said “arm youself” and “train” and “fascist” in the same comment, that could be what triggers the auto-ban. But those key words alone don’t break any site rules and I didn’t include them in a configuration that implied violence. So I could say
“We live in scary political times. Fascism has come to America. The founding fathers provided us with the 2nd Amendment and that gives you the right to arm yourself for self defense, but you should be responsible about it. If you’re experienced with firearms you should help others arm themselves if they’re interested and help them train responsibly.”
and that would initiate the ban. That’s actually pretty damn close to the comment I posted. And pretty damn close to the other 2A comments that got my other accounts auto-banned.
The bans are too instantaneous to be reviewed by any human. This current account that was banned was MONTHS old with HUNDREDS of comments in opposition to what’s going on right now. Something IN THAT COMMENT got me auto-banned. And this is the same chain of events that have happened to a number of my MONTHS old accounts. And every time it’s a comment I had just posted so it’s fresh in my mind and I know I didn’t break any site rules. I’ve been on Reddit long enough to know how to play the game of saying things without being too forward about it. Especially once I started seeing this trend regarding 2A comments.
My 10,000 karma account was banned by a bot. It makes no difference how old the account is.
Could you tell us what happened, in as much explicit detail as you can can?
Sure. Was using the chat function to talk with a friend. Keyword in the chat was flagged by hivemoderation and I was issued a permanent ban. Appeals went nowhere - I am pretty sure they are done by AI and there is no way to talk to an actual human anymore. Their email bounces. Even I as a mod had no recourse.
Since it is just as easy for a high karma account and subreddit mod to get banned as a newly registered low karma bot, my only conclusion is that over time the average karma will trend downward and it will no longer be possible to identify which accounts are trusted humans and which are just bots, making the content on the site less valuable. I guess spez doesn’t care since he’s already cashed out.
Ah-- that entire site now seems whitewashed of that woman’s murder in the streets, just from yesterday.
I stand deeply corrected, and care no more for arguments or details, starting from my own.
Ah, encore une chose-- I think it hugely likely that their internal analytics (similar to rrc.fyi, reveddit.com, snoosnoop.com, etc) must also play a role.
So more than just acct age, karma and keywords, they probably keep a running ‘quality user’ score that likely factors in to such decisions. You can see examples of what that might look like via those links above. So I’m thinking that a high-karma, old acct with high quality user score probably has more leeway to deal in risky-type keywords.
In any event, they’re a big company with millions of users to manage, so no matter what, they surely have a bunch of fairly complex algorithms to do much of the heavy lifting in terms of site-wide moderation.
I was told explicitly that karma and account age aren’t taken into account for site-wide bans.
it will no longer be possible to identify which accounts are trusted humans and which are just bots, making the content on the site less valuable. I guess spez doesn’t care since he’s already cashed out.
Yeah I’m pretty sure this is where things are headed.
Why do you keep saying this without quoting what you posted?
Repeat what you said if it’s so normal
Ok.
Figured others had experienced the same thing and wanted to chip in their experiences or, if they cared enough, could test it out on their own.
Either way, the comment was auto-deleted by Reddit so I’m just paraphrasing anyway.
I stated that everyone should exercise their 2A right and arm themselves. And if they are already experienced with firearms they should help others who are interested arm themselves and help them train. I also pointed out that, in this political climate, if they want to chat with friends/family about purchasing firearms, they may want to use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app.
That’s it. That was the content of my comment. None of that is questionable. None of that breaks Reddit site wide rules. None of it is a call to violence. And, not that it matters on a privately owned platform, but all of that is supported by our Constitution.
Also, why did you say
Why do you keep saying this
This is the first post I’ve ever made about this. I’ve never even made a comment on Lemmy about this.
Quote it. What did the comment say?
Dude.
You’re a moderator.
Learn how to read.
When Reddit bans you for a comment they DELETE THE COMMENT.
I’ve already, in multiple responses to others on this post, tried to detail what was in the comment as closely as I could.
You sound like you want me to verbatim recreate a comment I posted that was deleted when you probably are well aware that Reddit deletes the comment.
Is this a mod power trip?
Screen grabbed.
If it were a mod power trip, your post or comment would be deleted lol
“As closely as I could” yet you seem unable to restate the content any better than “I supported the second amendment”.
If the pro-2A comments are automatically deleted, why are there subreddits full of them?
“As closely as I could” yet you seem unable to restate the content any better than “I supported the second amendment”.
Again, you prove you are a mod who doesn’t read comments.
Read my comments again. I responded to TWO people with a close approximation of the contents of my comment. In one I even stated “that’s actually pretty damn close”.
So do your mod due diligence and expand the comments and hit CTRL+F and do a search for “that’s actually pretty damn close” to view the comment where I tried to recreate the comment as closely as I could. I just didn’t do it in any of my comments to you because I don’t like you and I’m not repeating myself for you.
See, this is how I know in your other comment to me that you tested my theory and found it false that you didn’t actually test my theory. Because you’ve made it clear you haven’t read my other comments where I detail the contents of my Reddit comment that got me auto-banned. So there’s no way you could know the key words that all have to be in the comment to receive the auto-ban.
You keep yelling the same thing over and over again even though I’ve addressed it… which is kinda funny since you’re saying I didn’t read your comments
The best thing we can do is get more people onto PieFed / Lemmy.
Where things can’t just easily be censored
Do we really need the Ammosexuals here? The A2 fanboys can stay and sink with reddit.
Dumbfuck “leftists” who tell marginalized groups to disarm while fascists gain power and arm themselves can fuck right off too.
Armed leftist here, we don’t need the RWNJs but we best not exclude the marginalized groups that are looking for a safe haven.
What? No Mbin?
Where things can’t just easily be censored
But why? Humans still moderate it, everything can be deleted, humans can be corrupted and bought. I can bet my left ball on the fact that if some corpo offered every community mod 1 million dollars to sell the community or something, nearly all would take it. Nothing personal against Lemmy mods, it’s just human nature.
I absolutely would, and then I’d create a parallel community to my old one right next to it and keep on as normal. That’ll be $1,000,000, please…
I imagine that could buy plenty of server hardware for your own damn Lemmy instance, even at today’s RAM prices.
You rarely sell the product - you sell the userbase. Rebuilding server or website is easy. Good luck making another reddit or Lemmy a viable thing. Seemingly the main reason why Lemmy isn’t a dead platform is because reddit severely fucked up
My viewership numbers, if upvotes are to be believed, rarely exceed double digits. For a million bucks, I wouldn’t be too broken up about it.
Just in case anyone important is listening.
Because it’s not bought and paid for by corporate overlords
Suddenly spez’s masters fear it. After all its pretty clear he is just a well paid tool now with no acutal power beyond his bloated bot net driven opinoin engine.
I still get these /c/reddit post in my main feed. I’m going to go ahead and block this community. I’m really tired of reading about reddit. Its dead and really shouldn’t be discussed here at all.
Reddit truly is dead to me.
If you’re not rotating your IP every time then you’re getting hit for ban evasion triggered by keyword detection or reports
If you’re using the Reddit app then they will ban every account with that app as soon as they log in
Yeah. Phones are another thing altogether. I haven’t used Reddit mobile for years because of this. At least not logging in to an account anyway. Which doesn’t bother me much. I really only use Reddit on PC and I pointed out in another comment that all I do is run Reddit in a private browser window, then once I’m banned, I reset the whole browser, open up a new private window and create a new account. I can go months with a new account like that before being banned based on a comment. So it works. I’m assuming they use cookies to track and the combination of using a private browser window and resetting the browser is enough to bypass their bullshit.
But on phones I think they capture some kind of identifying value for the phone itself, like a MAC address, and then that device is toast on Reddit going forward.
I don’t pretend to have answers for everything, I just know what’s been working for a number of years for me.
I don’t rotate the IP. Generally speaking, these accounts can go for months, seasons, before being autobanned when I finally say fuck it and post a pro 2A comment or insult the fuck out of a MAGA dipshit. They aren’t bans based on reports because they happen instantly. So I’m assuming they have bots set up looking for keywords or a certain threshold of keywords.
My point is simply that you’re being fingerprinted and re-banned, rather than these accounts triggering some independent “no 2fa comments” rule and getting individually banned. Whatever the trigger is, the system is recognizing you as an already banned user and re-banning you as soon as you cross their radar
