“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol

    I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.

    The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.

    I don’t even know anymore.

      Appealing too many temp bans (all unfounded) got me perma banned.

      Corpo bootlickers, kicking all humans off their platform until they remaining are indistinguishable from the growing see of bots.

        I literally don’t know why I’m shadowbanned though, I didn’t do anything even adjacently controversial!

        I guess I just talk like a bot? Not that they ban those, ha…

        But yeah that’s what gets me, if there was some stated reason for a shadowban or permanent I’d be understanding, but zero feedback? Really?

          Shadowbans are the cowards way of dealing with unwanted users — I understand why they do it, but it happens to way too many normal posters.

    Reddit permanently banned me for saying a person got “burned” when Trump did not pay the person. It was violent rhetoric, they said.

    How many people get banned for quoting Trump’s violent rhetoric?

      I was banned 3 days for “hate speech” because I said the IDF was committing horrible crimes and killing children.

      I was banned 7 days for violence (on a shit-posting sub) for saying Bonhomme should go to Washington DC and sort out 47. Bonhomme is the mascot of Québec Winter Carnival. He is a snowman. For context, the original shit-post had a “photo” of 47 gleefully eyeing a poster of Bonhomme. I did try to appeal this because…really? I was unable to even submit an appeal. I guess the US must be absolutely terrified of pretend snowmen from Québec.

      I was permanently banned for violence because I spoke against 47 and his underlings calling for the annexation of Canada. The war-mongers are allowed to threaten their peaceful neighbour 🇨🇦 (and others) with economic ruin and invasion, but a citizen of 🇨🇦 isn’t permitted to speak against this threat?

      I was a premium member but I had put a pause on the membership a couple months back when we began boycotting the US. I didn’t even try to appeal the perma-ban. I cancelled my membership/account and uninstalled the app.

    These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.

    There are those who chose to control by “interpreting” the rules as needed. These people will use a different interpretation as needed to exert any control they can.

    They’re being right is less important than YOU’RE being wrong

    I don’t see how it’s terribly surprising that the death threat you quoted got lumped in with the earnest death threats.

      Any human moderator would not confuse the two. Any human reporting in good faith would not confuse the two.

      It sounds like this was llm backed auto moderation, which cannot understand context, which will kill communities and platforms quicker than a hot dog Loving ceo having to pay slightly more.

        Quick, someone make a Lemmy instance called Scunthorpe. Should keep out the trash level of LLMs that seem to shit things up.

        Yeah, the firehose ends up blasting both directions. Bot generated content leads to bot generated rule enforcement. Still nothing all that surprising to me.

    Now try this: mass edit all of your comments to be that post and watch how quickly you get banned from every subreddit, no appeal.
