It’s kind of a complicated story, all these events occur within a 48 hour period:

  1. I made a comment along the lines of “today we have groups that resemble nazis and need to be armed to say they’re bad for our future too”
  2. Received a permanent ban, probably related to the word “armed”
  3. Appealed that ban
  4. Receieved a second permanent ban for “multiple violations”
  5. Appeal successful, first ban lifted.
  6. Still banned via second ban, no option to appeal.

The second ban, which appears to be referring to the first ban with “multiple violations” still stands, even with first ban’s successful appeal and lift.

So is that it? No more Reddit for me?

    If you said anything in the past the ai flags your account and will double check your posts more often.

    So with your example in number 1. Because your account is flagged the ai automod now assumes violent intentions more often. Thats why other people can say worse stuff and won’t get banned.

    And they flag your account and you start getting shadow banned if you start talking about Gaza/Israel, the survalience state, calling out ice, etc.

    When ice was really public earlier this year and was making daily front pages and killing people, thats when individuals started doxing ice and stuff. Because trump started designating certain groups as anti tech extremists, or as a terrorist for being against ICE we now have more ai policing over speech on the internet in general. And another small reason why they are trying to force everyone only to be logged into the official account thats ID verified. You can’t make another account unless its on a new phone or you will get banned for ban evasion, and you can’t access reddit from a VPN.

    Meta faced this many months prior but no one cared because its Facebook lol. I think people where trying to start a lawsuit over it but I havent checked on that in a while.

      Yeah, I made a comment in the past about the Italian government using chemicals to mutilate people. I said that was cowardly, IMO government sanctioned violence should not hide its brutality, and that they ought to use a knife. That was first first ban.

      Then came these ones, now I’m on Lemmy : )

        I came here only like a month ago and I have a similar story to yours. Welcome to the club. So far I pretty much only go to all and I can cycle through all the content in 20 minutes if I wanted to. Maybe there’s more to this I havent ventured out.

        Look up redreader if you need to browse reddit still, or take the time to let your dopamine resettle if you browsed heavily, and you’ll kind of readjust to Lemmy. It feels empty at first but I found thats not the case, that might just be your brain.

        *edit oh you been here a while lol.
