Reddit tried to sticky this post for moderators around 12p CST today, and they’ve since tried to bury it. Thought it might be good to back up the link here.

    They nuked almost all my accounts the other day. I talked a bunch of shit on the direction they are going and missing Aaron’s leadership. I walked away and here I am. One account I never log in on and with only 3 posts, perma banned. It was obviously targeted…

      I just logged in on my NSFW account and lo and behold it has been permanently banned haha. Literally zero comments on it. It wasn’t banned when I deleted my main account after having made comments having a go at reddit and the admins and the current situation, so they’re clearly a bit butthurt and retaliated by …banning my account that never actually does anything other than lurk…which you can still do while permanently suspended lol. Funny that the ban message says

      Your accounts are now permanently suspended due to multiple, repeated violations of Reddit’s content policy.

      on an account that has never posted lol

          That message sounds like they’ve retroactively banned my deleted account too, unless it’s just a generic message. People were apparently seeing their deleted comments and accounts get restored so I wonder lol. Restore and then permanently ban you so you can’t edit/destroy your comments.

      They did the same to me, I was the top moderator and creator of Animalsbeingderps and Amsterdaments, and had 10-11 years of almost daily content and discussions, I was in general quite outspoken about conservatism and racism on reddit, and the IRL cultures that breed these types of mentalities. I was also pretty active on vaporents which was in nono territory for a while. First all of my alt accounts were permabanned, then the first time I made a comment on lemmy against reddit’s actions with this account, my main account was also permabanned. Bloody priceless.

        Derps was one of my favorites! I was outspoken on the admin team and racism but to be transparent I am Conservative in a Libertarian scope. You do you, just don’t infringe. So we are opposite of the scope both getting massively banned, maybe we have more in common than we think? Still suck to put in that much time and get the raw end.

        Will there be a new animalsbeingderps community on lemmy?

          Honestly I hadn’t even considered it until this moment. But I don’t think I have it in me anymore. Though I do hope that it exists at some point. Lemmy could do with more cute animals.

            Understandable. Well thanks for putting effort in that community on reddit, it was one of my favorites:)

        Animalsbeingderps was a great sub! I knew they were tracking all reddit accounts but to monitor other websites is downright Orwellian.

      I worked at the same place as Aaron Swartz, actually. It’s also gone to shit. RIP Aaron.

      I did the same. Except I kept the porn stuff. Cause you know the advertisers love that stuff.

        NIIIIICE, monkey wrench in the system! I have alts I don’t use to keep my NSFW subs up. I just have to get creative they don’t find the connection. It kills me cause none of them are HC, mostly fetish models I to an interest in…

      Same, after I said:

      If you’re going to run a poll to decide the future of this sub, you should have the poll be off-reddit and linked here. They’ve edited comments in the past, what makes you think they wouldn’t edit poll results to favor them?

      I assume they’ve been browser fingerprinting for a long time since they banned 8+ accounts, including ones I haven’t logged in to for like 4 years (I created a new account every time one hits ~10k karma for privacy)
