I’m in the process of quitting Reddit. It was weird, some person commented dozens of times and started reposting the same question on the same comment because we disagreed. After I asked the person to leave me alone (I know… I was naive and hopeful), they commented again with the same question multiple times, I told them to fuck off. I got flagged by Reddit for harassment and now I’m shadow banned. It’s basically made the app useless to me. I don’t get why that’s a policy, if they’re banning my account they should just tell me and give me a chance to appeal or just block it. Instead, they operate in this weird gray space of making the experience terrible so you just leave. Sad because I enjoyed a closed community there but the general mods are just the worst. Lemmy will probably be better for my mental health though so silver linings :)

It’s because they hope you won’t notice it happened so there will be less work for them dealing with your complaints or new accounts. Even for people who aren’t fully shadowbanned, when their comments are removed it’s done in a similar way to hide from them that it happened. Reddit is designed to make sure admins and mods are not accountable (to the users) for their actions, and silence anyone who objects.
its because they used AI to ban people, they want to deal with the fallout of a false positive, thats why they gave vague bot message when you site wide banned.
I got perma banned because i said indian truckers. I didnt even bother to apeal it lol reddit was becoming like a warzone. Couldnt say anything with out someone taking offence.
appeals are pretty much useless anyways, even if did try. less than 1% gets unbanned by a admin, and only if they think thier ban was in error. they ignore majority of the appeals, because AI moderation indiscriminately bans people, so they dont have the amount of energy to unban them all, barring people who purposely violating TOS, or have multi accounts with thier bans lifted in the past.
Same, but I’m still encountering this same issue here. Does any instance not allow redactions/deletions? I know many are obsessed with perfect flawless curated feeds, but I kinda miss old internet days where redactions were nonexistent essentially
Glad i left reddit for lemmy tbh.
Yeah, Same here honestly

sounded like AI/bots are doing it. i wonder if reddit allows bot so they can ban users critical of certain “agendas” as a bait.

Honestly wondering if you don’t want deletions why not 4chan? They basically only remove illegal content.
yeah but then the people you’re talking to are 4chan users
Pretty close to getting it!
