banned from reddit for “threatening to kill reddit staff”. the post: pedophiles should be executed.

it’s very telling.

I used it before, but got banned by Reddit a couple of months ago for a genuinely ridiculous post. My account was 14byears old. I couldn’t care less about being banned. The place has been a burning dumpster fire for the last few years. If they want to implode that’s their business.

I was never banned. I left recently because the app got updated to keep sound on ads always on, even if you turned them off, the next time you used the app, the sound was back on.

This happened a few times to me and I deleted the app

I’ve never been banned from reddit (that I know of).

I left reddit three years ago next month duringsthe API drama. Since then the only time I’ve been to reddit (not logged in) is when it comes up in a search result.

Buddy I’m shadowbanned from LEMMY

I’ve been through so many reddit handles. Some are banned in /r/politics, some in other subs. There’s no reason to it.

Not banned yet, but they recently removed my API key I was using to work with sideloaded Apollo. I’m now using an alternative method again, but I wonder when they’ll just end up banning all users trying to keep Apollo alive?

I used Reddit for years as a reader without ever posting or commenting. When alternative front ends were ditched, I switched to Lemmy which I really like. Was never banned.

I have been a Reddit user for 15yrs and got banned 48hrs ago for for suggesting that some dog owners should die because of their deliberate inbreeding to create dogs with traits that are ultimately bad for their health.

For context I am in the UK and we have a deeply ingrained love for dogs over here so seeing a picture of some Americans that are gushing over their inbred dogs made me angry and emotional.

Shadow banned, never knew why, not even moderators, and never got an answer, so I figured it was better to just leave the place to somewhere with more humans at the helm

I had 4 accounts and they banned all of them for inciting violence. I said Donald Trump is a pedophile and deserves to be in prison.

They don’t like anti trump people.

I left 3 years ago, when they killed RiF

I got permabanned for wishing death on billionaires too many times.

For anyone who still wants to access Reddit just to browse favorite (niche) subs which won’t ever get traction here, some third-party apps still work.

My favorite is cygnusx’s Slide for Reddit fork (they picked it up after it was abandoned). You can use it logger in or anonymously - without an account logged in:

https://github.com/cygnusx-1-org/Slide

^ you can see my Slide app with the frontpage showing regular subs, and it doesn’t use the dumb new reddit algorithm which shows you posts from like a week ago.

The other option is Morphe who patch the official Reddit app. It will require an account but you can change a heap of things, block everything you dislike too. The patching app does YouTube and YouTube Music or whatever they call it, but it also patches Reddit:

^ here’s an example of some of the things you can change in a Morphe patched Reddit’s settings

Also sorry for the pictures, I wrote and uploaded this while steaming milk for my coffee!

Im not currently banned, but they banned me for a bit for using the word revolution when referencing what America needs.

They also gave away user data to DHS cause they asked.

So. Yeah.
