EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:

Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: (​)

Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.

If you just created account, if you comment on some subreddit it immediately shadowban you

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

thats actually new thing to me, i have seen alot of the famous subs have upped thier filters, i avoid them by filtering out those subs from my feed. also people might make a mistake by accidentally commenting on the sub they were ban years ago, apparently the filters doesnt discrminate or clear itself once your bans are lifted or years old.

[–] Rod_Orm@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (2 children)

It's suck, but if you make reddit account again, wait for around 3 month, or 1 year just to safe before comment. Or you can comment on smaller subreddit but don't make post. Just comment

Subreddit like r/linux shadowban you if you make post if your account too new

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

may have to try that. i was in a forum, where people are create tons/buying of accs at once and trying to comment in less than 1 week, i was thinking these people should chill especially with the bans going on(and these are the OF accs, using evasion methods) and your making things worst by increasing reddits filter sensitivity to bots and people that are flying under the radar are getting caught as well(these people who are using more advanced techniques to evade bans have 50+accs). i am aware of several subs that will ban/remove comments you asap if your karma and acc age isnt high enough.

What's a reddit?

Oh, yea, that dumpster fire I walked away from 2 years ago. It still exists?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 42 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Sadly, yes.

Not gonna lie, I was only there to encourage people to get off Reddit.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Make sure to wash your eyes afterwards if you’re using the redesign or app.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 12 points 1 week ago

Old reddit all the way through!

I straight up got my account of 2 years deleted for advertising Lemmy lol, nothing of value was lost that day

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 22 points 1 week ago

RIP ;_;7

They're really trying to repeat the fate of Digg, aren't they? People would advertise the shit out of Reddit in Digg, to encourage users to move. Well - perhaps we should test if history does repeat itself.

Perhaps using this picture instead of writing the link in plain text will help prevent the Reddit bots from detecting that one is recommending Lemmy there:

if that's the captcha to get in... i'm out.

No one regrets getting banned from nazi digg.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't regret being banned from the fly [Reddit] licking the Nazi shit [Twitter]. But I think it's important for people advertising Lemmy there to know.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 6 days ago

all the right wingers that got butthurt from youtube, reddit fled to facebook, because it gives them admin privileges, i had one that fled to fb, and try to bring down a sub by having his incel supports from youtube brigade the sub,(sub is mostly partially unmoderated.) it was a bunch of asian poc youtube channel, what a "disgrace" by siding with someone like that in the whitehouse/

We need to figure out a way to recruit with to out outright posting it there.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 46 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Text as pictures, word-of-mouth, bugging people in Youtube referring to Reddit to use Lemmy instead, coded languages...

It’s just bots enforcing this, images should work.

I moderate r/spezholedesign and have set up AutoModerator to promote Lemmy on all posts. I have made a post directly linking to lemmy.world and nothing has happened. I've never gotten shadowbanned or suspended

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 14 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I have no idea why I was shadowbanned and you weren't, then. Perhaps account age and/or karma had a role? (My account was five days old, and barely any karma.)

[–] Littux@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (3 children)

That's probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don't ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.

That's not a shadowban, that's a straight up suspension.

A shadowban is just when your posts and comments are filtered and hidden from others.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (7 children)

Yes, it is a shadowban. It fits perfectly what you said: the posts and comments are filtered and hidden from the others.

Here is another proof that this is a shadowban:

Left: the content is shown to the user when they're logged in, and they can still submit new content.

Right: the content is not shown to someone who is logged off.

On the other hand, a typical suspension leaves the content visible for everyone else, it tells the user "you've been permanently suspended from Reddit [insert gaslighting message]", and the user cannot submit new content.

Note that a shadowban is considerably worse than a suspension. Not that I care, though - I'm sharing this here because it is relevant for people trying to convince others to migrate to the Fediverse.

Got shadow banned years ago for sharing the link to the εxodus privacy analysis of the Reddit app. There is a reason why they keep trying to pressure their users to use their app. It's farming their personal data.

You can't save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I'd be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit's mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.

That's interesting. I haven't been banned for mentioning r/RedditAlternatives yet. I'm honestly shocked that sub still exists.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 18 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Fuck Reddit, they banned me because I reported discrimination and it was easier to get rid of the whiner than do their jobs.

Now I can't talk nerdshit about The Sims anymore

Where Is the shadow part of the ban?

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 week ago (1 children)

left side: logged in. exists.

right side: private window, not logged in. does not exist.

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago

It's just like adarza said.

Left: logged in. My own activity is shown.
Center: logged out, old reddit. It claims that the user doesn't exist.
Right: logged out, new reddit. It claims that the user was suspended.

I'd imagine in that particular case it felt like spam. If someone came through here and was named Nick_From_Nike and only posted in threads related to Nike and only positively about Nike, I feel like many would quirk a brow.

Are we seeing shadowbans with established accounts that don't have lemmy in their username? Considering r/redditalternatives is still going strong, seems unlikely.
