Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
I’ve been banned twice for far less than I’ve seen others do. Accused of threatening violence for saying I’d piss on the orange menace’s grave.
I kind of just don’t have the care to bother making a new account. Reddit has shown that it can’t handle me. Fuck em.
I got banned for calling out nazi scum - Reddit is dead to me now
You basically have to not run afoul of the mods, which everyone knows has become more and more difficult as time goes on. You can fart in the safety of your own home and one of the mods will get offended and ban you.
I just got a temp ban because one of the mods on a popular sub will not tolerate the lightest of criticisms of their preferred posters. I'm not exaggerating, it's literally in their rules. Gives me a perfect excuse though honestly, I'm sick of Reddit but it's hard to develop new habits for scrolling.
Just got banned on Reddit for "breaking rules". Well, everything has its time and end I guess.
Hello Lemmy, here I am...
How do some people avoid getting banned on reddit?
Like right now?
Besides the unexpected bans, there are also some heavy-handed takeovers of some subreddits that are even remotely political in nature, as original mods are allegedly kicked out and replaced with freshly-made accounts assigned as new mods. That some accounts are said to even harassed with multiple reportages coming from controlled accounts.
I am no longer active on reddit, except in one closed & private group that I'm part of for nearly a decade.
The rest has basically gone to hell.
I quit using it, problem solved.
[Eddie Murphy tapping head]
...do you think that guy is Eddie Murphy or is that part of the joke?
I don't think it's part of the joke, and it seems technocrit really might think that meme is Eddie Murphy.
For the longest time I thought it was Eddie Murphy.
So your IP is banned? Idk I need to stop talking about Christianity or my account is going to get perma'd soon.
JFC.
Fuck Reddit. Only time I even care about it anymore is if I google search a tech issue and reddit comes up in the results. It’s a cesspool of AI accounts and trolls for most things these days.
I remember back when it used to be full of experts or professionals talking educated sense about things. Then I noticed the general standard dropping down to about my level of intelligence/knowledge - which is not great - and then sinking ever lower to the point it's barely worth reading anymore.
Similar thing with Quora.
Sometimes, keeping things elitist is good.
If there are certain niche subreddits which you can't live without, download an RSS reader. They still work with Reddit, for now. They won't let you post or otherwise interact, but you shouldn't do that anyway.
I have a separate account just for reading with api for sync, I sometimes want to post though, but they Keep banning the accounts.
The only way to not get banned is to never, ever post.
From what I've gathered you get banned if you use a VPN. If not immediately, eventually.
A lot of subs gave "minimum karma limit". It is supposed to stop spam accounts but it just stops new people from commenting/posting.
It doesn't stop you from posting only, I created an account and tried to post a comment. At first the comment got posted, then it got removed and I got a server error. I checked and it seems the account was banned.
You might be IP banned then.
My current reddit account is my 12th reddit account so far aging around 1 month now. Previous 11 accounts were shadow banned even without me doing any illegal, spamming activity., That's why I deleted them.
I haven't made a comment with my current one. Just upvoting 1 post per day to maintain the streak.
Also I've joined karma farming subs to first gather comment karma then post karma..
This time, I'm very cautious. I hope I don't get shadow banned.
I had maybe 8 reddit accounts, the whole time i used reddit. The first onle lasted like 10 years or so. Then after the first ban i made a new one every other week.
At that point why bother?
I need to gather information about some things I'm interested in. You can call it as a self-research.
I see all these youtubers that literally dissecting the whole internet for information, source, knowledge, course and they make things with these from scratch without having no prior and proper knowledge from the start.
Watching these kinds of videos made me to come to 2 conclusions.
Either I really don't know how to use the internet, or I'm too lazy to explore it.
Then I decided to take matters into my own hands. Like the "F*ck around and find out" method. I began surfing articles, google doxxing, forums, reddit, quora, LLMs to get an overall average understanding. Then I stopped at few points, marking them as permanent and important for using the internet.
Reddit was one of them. The real amount of FAFO people in reddit is very low, but at least their advices, shared experiences are legit. But you know, not everybody has the same question.
If I find a subreddit important for my research, there are very few, close to none amount of questions that match my thirst. And as a new user, I just couldn't post or comment.
So what did I had to do? I needed to farm karma. I'm no girl so I couldn't karma-bait using my pu$$y, I started with 1 or 2 comments per day, accumulating 50+ comment karma then I headed to make my first post.
The post usually works well. It gains me some karma. I farm more. Get 100+ post karma. After that, for some reason, I get shadow banned.
I appealed, reddit responded with, "Unfortunately, we cannot....."
This cycle has been happening since the last 11 account for over 3 years.
I resent your comment, "I'm no girl so I couldn't karma-bait using my pu$$y" This could have been said much differently. Im a girl, and back when I needed reddit karma to post in a sub I wanted to partake in, I just posted my baked goods on the baking sub. Not all women are like, I'll just use my pussy, I'd argue most arnt like that. Give me a break yo. Why you gotta punch down on me because you need karma? Just post ur dick, oh im sorry your d!ck.
I'm sorry and thankful to you at the same time.
That sentence of me was direct, yes. But I didn't mean all the girls at reddit.
I'm sorry to hurt your feelings. But I really didn't mean all the girls at reddit.
Karma-baiting with nudity has spread from OG nsfw subreddit to normal karma farming subreddit. As a result of that, there are very few, close to none amount of karma farming subreddit that doesn't allow nsfw. Still some girls post NSFW there.
That's the thing frustrates me and that's why I wrote that sentence.
I didn't mean all the girls in general.
I too, am in some wholesome subreddit where people post wholesome things. Like you said, baking subs, cooking subs etc..
I remember Google+ in the past, it was a great source of information, now my source of information became reddit. Like /r/stocks, /r/anime_titties, /r/programming, or even niche like nier automata fan subreddit. I wish we have other sources, I miss when internet forums were everywhere and you could find forum for every topic.
…just ditch reddit
Getrid of Reddit.
Do leave a 1 star rating on the app.
