We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

This blows... Wtf is that a thing anyways, what a stupid, fascist way of censorship. It's like you getting cattle marked for life in a social media and I didn't do anything. I didn't insulted anyone or attacked any minority, it sucks because the communities I followed about the media I consume are there. And only them hold the "market" of forum like groups since Google plus death. No other app comes close to them. Posting here is like posting in a desert for that media I liked.

Some people don't like how you behave. That could have two reasons:

  1. You behave badly
  2. The people in those communities don't like your behavior

And anything in between.

I got banned from r/Korea back in the day because I linked to my own peertube instance, they didn't like it.

On Lemmy I'm trying to get the !korea@lemmy.funami.tech going but as you can see it's only posts made by me :D but sometimes, very seldom there is a comment and some likes or to a lesser extend dislikes. I think most of them are people who browse /all and by chance see those posts there.

But if I don't post then there is no content about Korea at all ^^

Anyway, remember that you can't change other peoples behavior, only yours.

Yo i see your shit at the top of 6hr all the time. You're the only reason I know what's going on with their president. Keep up the excellent work. Sorry you aren't getting the engagement you're looking for.

I didn't do anything wrong. I don't need to change anything, unfortunately I'm the weak one in this situation and I don't have the power to change that, what baffles me is that people let them get away with that.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I don’t know what to say. It’s a shit platform, don’t use it? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It’s weird to me when people come here to complain about Reddit.

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because it's the only app with enough viewership for forum like replies, especially for media like games or similar. No, discord doesn't count, that's just a cringe chat that is messy and without structure

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 5 points 4 months ago

I mean what did you expect? It’s a corporate-owned platform so they’re in control, not you.

At least with Lemmy and other federated platforms you can have direct ownership over your data if you so wish. You can even spin up an entire instance and become your own boss.

As far as Discord goes, I’ve only rarely used it and can agree that the UI is trash but that’s about it.

Reddit shadowbans for random reasons, don’t be upset. Also it’s full of bots.

[–] smokebuddy@lemmy.today 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Are you sure you're shadowbanned and your content isn't being held for moderation? Pretty much any major sub has minimum karma limits whether or not they say so. Could try making a new account and posting inane comments on smaller subs to build karma like the bots that overrun that site do, the site is pretty much broken now by design. Any new account needs to be gamified and sit/be used this way for like a week to get out of purgatory.

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I used the sub that checks if you're shadow banned

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You can check yourself by looking at your account in incognito mode, and clicking any comment you've made

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world 2 points 4 months ago

They don't appear

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's not fascism to exclude you.

And on a shadow ban, you can still follow you just can't bother people.

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world -5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There's 0 point of posting if nobody fucking sees you. I wanna ask questions, respond trivia and share info. That's not fucking possible if you're shadow banned

[–] Aarrodri@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What did you do? Not asking if it's good or bad..just.. literally what did you do?

[–] Platypus@lemmings.world -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I don't remember, probably made some insignificant mod angry but I can't tell anymore it's been like over a year and I can't see removed posts from my old account

Hate how they can kick you out just because you don't agree with their very ⬅️ politics. As long as I'm not trolling and not insulting anymore or attacking any group of persons I shouldn't be banned, nobody should.

[–] Lauchs@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Why should a community be forced to have you if you are being unpleasant?

You clearly have a guess as to why they banned you, hence the random complaint about their politics...

Take this as a helpful reminder that your words and choices do have consequences, even online.

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

You know mods can't shadowban you, right?

[–] moe90 2 points 4 months ago

only Reddit admin or Reddit anti spam can shadowbanned users

[–] peregrin5@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

Yeah I got permabanned for supporting Luigi. Maybe a bit too enthusiastically but it is what it is. Every account I make now gets auto banned even if I use VPN.

I could probably get around it with a paid VPN and the Brave browser but I don't really want to blow any money on getting to a shit community anyway. The only things I miss are my interest subs like pottery, landscaping, etc. The ones here are dead.

But enough CEOs are turning out to be asshats and people are fleeing for the fediverse so it may get more active and diverse here.

As it is, I don't really mesh with the majority of lemmys and "wrongthink" is actively policed here. It will be nice when less terminally online people join and water down the extremists.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 months ago

Fam, I honestly feel bad for you. I remember that feeling of terrible disappointment in Reddit - like they could have such a cool thing if only they hadn't sold their soul for money.

Reddit Shadow Ban Checker

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 months ago

Whatever you got banned for, now you’re banned for ban evasion. The devs are fairly crafty and sounds like your OpSec stinks.

New phone, but same number, same carrier, connect through the same WiFi, same email provider, being active in the same subs. Even if you get all that right, if you use familiar language a sub moderator might recognize and ask site admins to check for ban evasion and you’re toast.
