I say this in the hopes Lemmy does not have them. Being too in favor of punching fascists should not result in a person being unable to participate in one of the largest forums on the internet. In fact, I’ll go out and say, any behavior that would normally be bigotry or authoritarianism is immediately justifiable if its against fascists. Yes, I am venting because my 9th account got shadowbanned for ban evasion, how can you tell? If a person gets banned, they’ll probably delete the account, When you then ban the new ones for evasion that is impossible to appeal, obvious fucking trap
Nice shizopost.
Lets go at this one point at a time, shall we?
- lemmy as a whole does not have permabans or ip bans. Individual servers do. It is statistically unlikely you will be permabanned from lemmy.world let alone all of lemmy. Yet you can get banned by most communities over and over if you keep spitting nonsense that disagrees with their rules.
- bigotry and authoritarianism are never okay. It is scientific fact that fascists are wrong. No need for mental gymnastics. Diversity is healthy for any group, period.
- the fact that you have issues with running back into abusive relationships is sad and you may profit from therapy. Reddit is not your friend.
I wish you better experiences with the internet. Have a nice day.
Never put your trust in a centralized social service again. In the old days when forums were independently hosted you might get banned but you can just go and find another one or host your own.
Everyone has gotten too used to the convenience of these centralized managed social media services like Reddit, TikTok, Facebook, etc.
Lemmy is great because it’s offers some of the convenience Reddit does but isn’t centralized. So if you get permabanned on one instance you can just find another that fits your interests better. Or host your own and you’re not reliant on a corporation that is trying to milk you and your data for all that it’s worth for a little profit.
I don’t use any centralized social media anymore. That shit is dead.
Problem: social media is only as good as jts user base. Hosting an instance of just me would be freakingame
Just… stop going back?
They’re not looking for users that rock the boat
I just politely asked a mod to clarify a sub rule and got an unappealable sitewide ban for it
Reddit was dead long before this though, even before the 3rd party app ban. I just wasn’t willing g to accept it.
Good riddance honestly
I’m really doubting this. Mods don’t have the ability to ban you sitewide, that’s only admins. And as an ex mod who was routinely harassed through modmail, they don’t often ban unless it’s death threat or continuous harassment levels of interaction.
For instance, we had one user who didn’t like being banned for their racist comments, so started being racist in modmail in response. It took four months of report/mute before they finally caught a ban.
¯\(ツ)/¯
I was on reddit for over 10 years, the ban message I received wasn’t from the mod of the sub or even from the sub itself, it was from reddit admin claiming mod harassment
I was sitewide banned from reddit and never the sub
I was direct but polite, I didn’t understand why and my appeal and messages to reddit admin have gone unanswered
I’ve been banned lots of times before by overzealous mods and even sitewide banned with false reports from trolls but a simple appeal always sorted it out in less than 24 hours
Not this time, it’s been over a month and I’ve heard nothing. Time to move on
I’d love to even get a reply from support. I just got the same “reason” on all my accounts to check my other accounts for details on why - not one has it. Haven’t ever gotten a reply from support.
I could understand if there was some reasoning, or even something temporary with some reasoning. But that sucks so hard *that bots or admins can just decide “you don’t get to participate anymore despite your good standing,” arbitrarily and without recourse.
I mean, they can be abused, but they’re absolutely necessary to have.
And, if someone is trying to bypass a ban, they’re kinda not someone you can trust to behave in a reliably acceptable way at all.
Like, I get it, nobody likes being banned. But trying to pretend that you didn’t know that not only would you catch a ban for outright saying to punch a nazi just means you weren’t paying attention to reddit and how it’s been for years at this point. Yeah, punching nazis is fun and possibly useful, but trying to pretend you didn’t know that it will get you banned on reddit is like saying you didn’t know laying down in a urinal trough would get you covered in piss. That shit is not new. It was happening before the little asshole ceo started making things worse. There’s articles about it, people complain about it all the time.
And if you’re 9 accounts into trying to get around a ban, why the hell would anyone trust you to read and follow basic rules in the future? It doesn’t matter whether or not the initial ban was justified. Stupidly. Think about it. It’s like some stupid teenager being grounded and sneaking out the window. The very act of it proves you can’t be trusted.
Why the fuck would you even want to go back? Pick up the stealth app, read what you need to read, and let reddit go to hell.
I mean, vent away, but this is on you.
Reading isnt the point. I want to post and the fact of the matter is, every single thing I do is justified morally and by the initial ban being horseshit. Noone blames a teen gor sneaking out if their home is abusive
Okay, so the way I got around it was making a VM using virtual box and xubuntu, and using reddit through that. My current account is 10 months old and hasn’t gotten banned yet. Hope that helps!
Sounds like you are part of the problem
