“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol
It was a bot that automatically banned you
Oh, that makes it so much better…
Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.
Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷
Also a bot that will ignore the explanation and reject the request
That’s more of a script than a bot. Basically: if request, then reject.
There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for “promoting suicide” because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because “the king is not allowed to commit suicide”
It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn’t work and is seemingly also run by bots.
end of the day these big tech companies need us in ways we don’t need them
Yep. Reddit couldn’t possibly exist without slave labor.
Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn’t go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I’ve had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I’ve been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.
See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣
Clearly. :P
Reddit loves Nazis.
Sir, this is lemmy
These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.
I have two accounts, with lots of karma, inexplicably shadowbanned. All I do is post in like 3 niche interest tech/fandom subs, zero politics or hostility.
The appeals page is like a black hole. No explanation, no process, no results.
I don’t even know anymore.
Some people appealed for 6months before they got a response.
Fffffff, that’s even worse.
Honestly the niche subs I visit are either cesspools or “brain drained” now, and unfortunately not much critical mass is here on Lemmy… Seems most went to Twitter, Insta/Tiktok or maybe Discord.
Appealing too many temp bans (all unfounded) got me perma banned.
Corpo bootlickers, kicking all humans off their platform until they remaining are indistinguishable from the growing see of bots.
It’s clear they only want people just browsing and not logged in anymore. All for the advertisement money
I literally don’t know why I’m shadowbanned though, I didn’t do anything even adjacently controversial!
I guess I just talk like a bot? Not that they ban those, ha…
But yeah that’s what gets me, if there was some stated reason for a shadowban or permanent I’d be understanding, but zero feedback? Really?
Shadowbans are the cowards way of dealing with unwanted users — I understand why they do it, but it happens to way too many normal posters.
It’s okay for zapping low-effort bots, but there should always be a way for humans to deal with it…
I visited the shadowban subs, which lets you comment and apparently normal users are getting dusted for very little reason. If that sub is getting such a frequent postings, it’s a red flag.
CEOs being CEOs… Violent as ever 🤣
I think it’s justified in this case. Unless you want more expensive hot dogs.
Yeah this man is the only good CEO
“CEO” and “kill” going in the same sentence is ungood.
Doubleplusungood, even
Oh no, not doubleplusnogood!
I got a warning for saying “I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye” in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.
Lmao. And they say comedy is dead.
People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.
Redditors are going to end up on [email protected]
We’re coming here, but slowly. We each have our tipping point and for many who just scroll mindlessly it’s not any worse than insta/tiktok/Facebook. The commenter crowd has largely moved over.
It would take people getting shadow banned or perms banned to move here, they are just too addicted to that site. The true ban evaders are the ones using bots to spread misinformation or earning money from their links or OF accounts businesses
I can’t be the only one thinking of a lot of Reddit’s mods as Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill, can I?
I don’t see how it’s terribly surprising that the death threat you quoted got lumped in with the earnest death threats.
Any human moderator would not confuse the two. Any human reporting in good faith would not confuse the two.
It sounds like this was llm backed auto moderation, which cannot understand context, which will kill communities and platforms quicker than a hot dog Loving ceo having to pay slightly more.
Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.
My post got taken down for racism.
I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.
“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”
Told them to go fuck them selves.
Never got an answer.
I got a temporary ban once for racism - for a comment I made about a nonexistent race.
Bloody Cardys can’t be trusted.
Settle down Miles.
Good thing he died in a nuke in SGA episode
Your comments about “bulbheads” regarding the Xenomorph species is not appreciated.
