My account just got suspended for mocking JD Vance in a joke thread. I appealed and got a permaban in response.
Welcome to the club!!!
Reddit has streaks now??
For a second, I thought OP got banned from Duolingo.
I mean back when duolingo has discussions or what they called it, you might write nasty stuff. But now, imagine being banned for the wrong translation.
I haven’t used duolingo for a few weeks because my hack to have infinite hearts broke again and I’m too lazy to put in the effort even tho it’s not that difficult actually
I’m gonna be real, Duolingo is literally only good for motivation and easy vocab review. It has been years since I used it, but the best advice I got on that website was when forums still existed and people told me that the translations for JP were shit and to learn somewhere else, which is probs why those forums got deleted.
If you have to use hacks to not be bored/deal with the bullshit, then just leave man. It’s not worth the bird begging you to come back. Find stuff online, YT (unfortunately) is your friend for resources.
The thing is that I needed to learn a language but that duolingo motivated me to learn a language in the first place. It sadly never made me dig much deeper. Nothing else I’ve tried ever stuck. So for me it’s not duolingo or learn a language seriously but duolingo or candy crush (never actually played that game but you get the point)
I use Busuu for Fr*nch these days.
Try Busuu
Yeah honestly a social media streak getting bigger is a sign I should probably take a day off.
Wha… do you get some kind of reddit currency if you make a post that breaks 1000 upvotes, with a multiplier based on your log in streak length?
Jesus Christ, these fucking dark pattern, microtransaction shit just needs to be universally banned.
Gamified social media with streaks and fomo notifications for daily scrolling or posting or whatever is hilariously bad and transparent.
The streak made me want to not log in days in a row because it highlighted how much time I had wasted on the site.
but people fall for it, otherwise every social media wouldnt have it
Every? It was news to me that even reddit does this. I must have left them all too early.
I didnt know they had it either but I’m not surprised to find out. I know Snap started it, TikTok has it, I believe Instagram has it, and Reddit having it comes as no surprise to me
Twitch also has them now for how many of someone’s consecutive streams you watch
I use TikTok and I didn’t know it had anything like that
It seems I dodged so many bullets, I might be Neo.
That’s it, we are taking away the awards system.
Jk, you can have it back.

Even on old reddit they have these annoying and constant “achievement” notifications now.
I’m so glad I left completely (minus the random search result with no other leads, but no browsing) when the API fuckery started, corporate social media sounds like an absolute hellscape now.
I’m almost there, I had to block the reply button with ublock origin. Quite the habitual addiction.
Why not just nuke the accounts and be done with it
Honestly it’s two niche debate subs that kept me engaging that there’s no substitute for. I think with the reply button blocked I’ll be able to delete my account again soon. Yep I’ve relasped before.
…and I mainly used those subs to deprogram from my upbringing. That’s the real truth, I found it healing.
Fam if you need to use reddit don’t feel bad about it. “The trick is not to ignore the mainstream, but to selectively raid it for things we can use.” -M. Gunderloy
I hear you but again I’ve left out an important detail. Those debate boards have moderators who are mostly checked out since the API drama, so the influx of morons using ChatGPT to “think” for them without getting banned has become intolerable and incredibly depressing when considering the long term implications of that among youth.
The positive feelings are an afterglow.
They have a “basement dweller” achievement if you hit two years.
Yep, they want you to login everyday FOR MULTIPLE YEARS
Well, I did that on my own to be honest. Not anymore, though, lol.
Same, I’m glad to be out of the cesspool.
What did you do?
Not op but I got perma banned for fighting with people who were defending massive pedophile Dr disrespect. They were arguing that “it was legal that means it’s okay”. I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16. Legally he could fuck a 16 year old. However that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a pedophile scumbag regardless of legality.
I was then banned for “child sexual content” :)
I tend to think that 16yo is fine so idc, they do their things
However I still think Disrespect is a moron (for other reasons)
Going to get downvoted but I’m making my part by de-echo chamberifying lemmy
This is like the defining case of “just because it’s legal doesn’t make it okay.” An 18 year old and a 16 year old is one thing. It’s very different when it’s a 30-something year old and a 16 year old. That’s like a high school senior trying to get with a 12 year old.
There’s a massive power imbalance in a relationship like that where the 30-something has basically total control. Even a 30-something with a college kid has issues imo, let alone a kid who’s a sophomore or junior in high school. That’s some Quamire from Family Guy shit. “I love high school girls. I get older, they stay the same age.”
Half your age plus seven is the rule of thumb that I’ve heard. At 18, that means the lowest you should be dating is 16. At 32, it’s 23. Etc.
Also, echo chambers are good, actually, and you can’t change my mind. Life isn’t supposed to be a constant argument, and the criticism of surrounding yourself with people who generally agree with you is a tactic that’s been used to prevent people from simply cutting toxicity out on social media platforms.
Plus there are some things unworthy of argument. The existence of trans people, not an argument. Fucking a 16 year old as a grown adult is fucked up, not an argument. Holders of these anti-truths are just bad people covering their own failings
DE ECHO CHAMBER LEMMY VIA COMING OUT AS A PEDOPHILE YOURSELF. WHAT A TAKE.
ew
Not enough pedophiles here 😔It’s just your POV. I’d say that pedophile refers to children, and I don’t consider a 16yo person to be a child. Some can be mature enough, although it might be rare and should be handled case by case, instead of making a stupid generalization.
Jesus Christ. No they cannot. She isn’t mature for her age, your just a pedophile making excuses to justify your attraction. That makes you a predator. Ew
Sure. You know better than everyone. Congrats. Doesn’t have to be a “her” btw…
Funny that I got called a pedophile as well when I was a minor. Fun times. Being with someone way older isn’t always bound to end badly, provided the adult isn’t a bad person (which isn’t easy in the world we live in) and that both understand the risks and adopt the right posture.
I also know other people who have been in a similar situation. Sometimes it went okay, sometimes not.
“I am a multi gender focused predator”
Ew.
I avoid YouTube/twitch drama like the plague, because you can’t really tell if they support or criticize the streamers,
I pointed out that the US is fucked and certain states have consent laws at 16
Yeah, that’s actually the average age worldwide
Not defending Dr Diddles, mind you, but the US is actually better than a lot of places thanks to having parts where it’s 17 or 18 (and… Worse, depending on where you look)
Sounds right.
I got banned for commenting on a video of something like “guy loses it in van and runs down protestors” my comment was pointing out that they were running into the way of an already (slow) moving van and then leaping dramatically to the ground. It was like a grade school production of a Chinese insurance scam en masse.
Reddit has gotten so pathetic. Sad to see it fall so hard. If it was like this in 2012 I would have never signed up
Not OP but I got banned on reddit atleast 4 times. Zero bans on Lemmy though.
All for supposed harassment usually after having a disagreement in certain subreddits. Honestly could be anything their report system seems easy to abuse
Now, I don’t tend to have those on Lemmy nearly as much, but when the pedophile I was disagreeing with reported me here the mods were chill to hear my side after issuing me a warning.
For both the more chill atmosphere and the better mods I like more here.
Zero bans on Lemmy though.
Check dubvee. You might be surprised.
Oh shit, how do I do that?
On bans I did mean sitewide as I know atleast veganhomecooks banned me (no clue why though I never interacted there. Just lurked). Fully understandable to think I meant communities with how I phrased it though lol.
Again though, I’d love to know how to check for bans. I’m very curious
I forget how I checked.
The 30rock community on dubvee’s instance made it into my “all” feed once and I tried to comment. That’s when I learned. I was super offended lol. I started by searching my name in their mod logs. Turns out I had been banned there for like 9 months. For something I said on some com that wasn’t even on their instance. Then they have some kind of scripts (?) that sync the com bans and automatically turn them into instance bans. It’s crazy. The amount of effort that went into their automated ban infrastructure and ban culture is … impressive?
That’s sorta like reddit, they have crossban privileges
Sounds like you got crossbanned, basically certain subs will look at which subs a user visits and it autobans you, for example joe roegan sub is a common to get crossbanned from several subs if you ever commented on it. The sub itself makes fun of jrogan rather than support him
Same, plus they said I was report abusing.
Very sub and subject dependent honestly.
Yea, but it’s infested the whole site though, especially reddits current filters now shadowbans your accounts if you look at itwrong
Well the sentence that initially got me a three day ban was “Hitler did nothing wrong” which I’m aware doesn’t look good on paper but it was a quote and not my own words. According to Reddit the decision was automated so I appealed what I thought was an honest mistake and that’s when they probably saw my recent posts promoting Lemmy and talking about Palestine and decided to ban me permanently. That or they didn’t like that I filed an appeal. I haven’t used Reddit nearly as much since getting on Lemmy anyway so this is more funny than annoying but still a weird way to go.
Having gone cold turkey and just left, it’s weird no matter how you leave. Realizing how addicted I was, was kind of hard for my psyche.
I feel you. ‚But my Account is 8years old and I ha e so much comment karma‘… can’t buy shit with reddit Karma and you basically work to make fucking spez more Money. Just delete the Account and Never come back, it’s a shithole anyway and you just want to hold on to old old.reddit
They can buy plenty of shit with your karma, It’s a book personally written by you about you.
It’s just not any good for ‘you’
It’s next to impossible to go back anyways, people are getting banned eventually. I’ve been seeing reports of people’s 5+years acc getting shadow banned for very little reason it doesn’t make sense. A comment removal, low karma, cqs scores, age is enough to trigger a full site wide shadowban. I’ve been hearing also temp bans turned into permanent almost as fast the temp ban ends
Sounds a lot like what happened on Xitter after Musk took over. I suspect they are intentionally targeting left wingers.
I bet they’re focusing on the old.r users, they’ve been wanting to get rid of that for awhile. If they shadowban you and leave on your own randomly, there won’t be another mass exodus. That’s conjecture though.
Anecdotally that fits my experience. I’ve refused to use new Reddit at every turn (save the app where you have no choice), and I got permabanned yesterday despite no real escalation in my rhetoric. I’ve always spoken my mind, and let fascists and conservatives know exactly how low I think of them, and until about a month ago none of it had copped me even a temporary ban.
Spez loves Elon. Wouldn’t surprise me if he was bending the knee to try and get Elon to buy Reddit.
And nothing of value was lost
Uh oh, did you suggest something that isn’t aligned with corporate status quo enforcement?
I still haven’t been told I’ve been officially banned, they just give me server errors all the time (only on my main account, not when going on any other account/incogni)
Maybe you got shadowbanned?
Apparently
You can check if your shadow banned by looking at your profile while not logged in. If it says suspended or can’t find your profile, you were banned
Damn, reddit do be shadow banning
yea, if your on a pc it will say “profile not found”
Maybe they managed to corrupt your data.
“Whoops! We accidently corrupted your data and didn’t have any alerts setup for when this happens hihi”
I wouldn’t be surprised tbh
Reddit used to be good enough to get people to post daily without cajoling
There it is. Their chatbots need more training data and reinforcement feedback.
I just got banned myself for calling a moderator woke. F reddit
You sound like a conservative that doesn’t know what your talking about, if it’s based on sarcasm, but if it’s based on bigotry, you had no place in reddit as surely in other forums. Nobody likes a obnoxious loudmouth
Agreed. It was mostly based on frustration on how the littlest comment now on Reddit gets you banned. My mistake for getting hot headed and calling him a name.
Woke is a compliment, though
Dang, I called one an autistic dork and only got 3 days. Nothing against autistic people. I just knew it would trigger him. Then I mocked him in the unban request too for being a “thin-skinned bitch.”
I’ve also said “I fully endorse Luigi and his slaughter of CEOs.”
Why is it so hard for me to get my permaban?
You have to be nice to someone they don’t like.
Was that ironic usage of the word or did you just out yourself on your first day?
Needs more context. Calling someone woke because you know it will piss them off I think is fair usage.
Anyone who gets that upset about being called woke probably isn’t that great either.
I may have
Doesn’t sound great for you…
that Reddit mod
Welcome, don’t step in the Tankies on your way in.
Why do we keep those near the front door, anyway?
They offered to build the front door for free and now that it’s done it’s difficult to convince people to come in through a different door.
we keep moving them but when their toilets clog and overflow building mgmt moves them back.
Actually, please do step on them, they might finally wanna leave
They might like it
Historically they love it when people get run over, especially by tanks.
Yeah they just don’t like it if it’s them being the runner over, it’s a fairly common opinion
I canceled my reddit pro, or reddit+ account, whatever the f*ck it is called, and the ads, the ads… Ads that look like posts, or comments. It’s almost making me 100% Lemmy too.
I kinda miss the ads with comments enabled but not to the point where I’d consider going back 😅
Lately I’m seeing a lot of this on old accounts
I had a few alt accounts from a decade ago that I’d sometimes used to get something from that site but over the past year the all got banned for no reason because I literally didn’t even post with them.
Im guessing that Reddit wants to get rid of those older users that still remember how great it was
They wantll Nu-reddit user, aka the ones that are ignorant of reddits history
Yeah I’ve been wondering if I actually got banned because I used old.reddit and a hacked Reddit mobile app.
Lmao yeah I guess there’s a lot of us here.
I doubt that very much.
Shadowbanning is a tool of the demiurge
Oh this is me. Got banned from Reddit and am on lemmy fulltime.
I’m so glad to see lemmy.world so active.
I’d rather see lemmy.world shrink to irrelevance because their mods are just using it as a tool to push their agendas.
You might not be a pirate, but did you know they’re censoring piracy communities from you? Not sure if you want to be a part of an instance whose mod team feels they get to make decisions like that for you.
And no Reddit moderator ever had a “agenda”.
🤡
This seems wholly unrelated.
Yeah, honestly, the way things are set up isn’t perfect. I maintain a few accounts on different instances just to fan out what content I get. The Fedi is always gonna have issues with moderation and federation, I just don’t see it as a good enough reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
