Went to reddit, made an account so I could chat in the World Cup match threads
Was told I was unable to participate because my account was too new
This message also had a link to message the mods
Click the link, message the mods, explain that I am a human and I’m just here to chat about the World Cup
Mod responds, says my account is brand new, has zero karma, and sees I’ve not once posted in any other subs
Explain to the mod that I don’t really like reddit and that I literally just made my account specifically to talk about the world cup
Got a nasty message back about how the mods don’t have time to answer my messages and that if I don’t like reddit that’s a me problem
I respond explaining that if they don’t have time to answer my messages then why is there a link to message them in the alert about being unable to post?

Refresh reddit. Red banner. My Account has been temporarily banned on reddit for 3 days for harassment
I’ve had reddit accounts in the past, but I had deleted my last one months ago. Only signed back up because of the world cup. Took maybe 30 minutes to get a sitewide ban and I only got to make one comment that didn’t even show up on the site
Anyway, that’s how I found this place. Although, the World Cup doesn’t seem that popular here :(
“Your post has been removed because your account is too new.”
“Your comment was deleted because you dont have the minimum comment karma to participate.”
Okay…so how to I get karma to even join the community?
-fun fact karma farming is also against the reddit tos. They barely enforce it, but its technically wrong enough that if they flag you for some reason then they can ban you.

Most people here are boycotting it because of how the US has been behaving, both domestic and internationally… Threatening to invade allies, destroying relationships with other countries that go back to the end of WW2 for literally no gain, and the brutalization and illegal imprisonment of brown people in concentration camps, just to name a few things.
Yeah fuck that. Fuck this country and I hope the whole thing is a massive commercial failure.
It’s not like a bot cares if it has to wait 3 days before posting
And considering the World Cup is something that only lasts a month anyway, out of all the subs to implement a waiting period, that one seems like one of the worst
“Welcome to reddit, in order to post in the World Cup match threads please miss 10 matches”
REDDITS AI moderation looks at new accounts and old inactive accounts as botting potentials thats why, even getting your comments/ post removal is a potential mark on your account as a bot.
Had an account for around 8 years, during that time I participated in some more and some less heated arguments on reddit. Had multiple local bans, mostly for some mild stuff whereas the harsher comments would usually slip under the mods’ radar.
My account has been permanently banned on the entire reddit only after I went into discussion with some mods for some .ml-level ridiculous decisions.
Obviously arguing with people with power is an oppression to them.
Thinking back, my gut tells me the World Cup is too big to leave the sub in the hands of, “just some guy”, so the sub was probably made by someone who works at reddit and the mods are probably other reddit admins
So when I explained that I had no posted anywhere else because I hated reddit… I may have just told a reddit employee that I hate their site and that’s why they got so mad and banned me
I don’t have any proof of that but I do wonder if that is what happened
On an older account I got banned for saying that that Pizza-whatever comic sucks shit
It’s always on the front page and it’s Garfield level humor except worse because it’s mostly just political pandering
And the comments under those comics are always full of people who you know think they’re super informed, super intelligent, superior people that, in reality, are just mouth-breathing idiots repeating the most predictable shit and falling for the most tame political propaganda
Like when you have a friend that always talks about how crazy and wild they are and then you go out and party with them and they fall asleep at 10pm after 3 beers
I would guess it was interpreted as the slur for Japanese people (perhaps an automod thing - never really used Reddit though so I dunno how these things work in practice.)
Mods on the modhelp forum were delighted, to not work so hard trying to “review each ban” wether they were deserving of a ban or not. most of them are complicit, rarely some mods will fight for the said user(assuming they a long history with that sub). this right around the time when they were beginning the purges last year.

Ah yes, the other fun side of the coin.
The funky catch-22 of more than half the site.
“You dont have enough karma to post in this sub.”
“Your post has been removed because your account is too new.”
“Your comment was deleted because you dont have the minimum comment karma to participate.”

What a shit hole.

Anyway, welcome to Lemmy lol
The account too new situation pisses me off so much. It punishes new users.
That’s what I thought

Also on my account that was a year old.
I love the way everything is harassment to those babies.

I got banned for “hate” for a comment that said “the nips.” Fucking everybody has nipples. It wasn’t even sexual.
