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.

    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 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.

        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?

        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
