I found Lemmy thanks to a guy on reddit wich answered to my comment. I said that we leftists generally lacked a place where we could express some opinions without te fear of being banned. infact Reddit moderation (both admins and mods) suck and doing their “job” and there are instances of people being banned just for saying something completely normal or just some bugs. I am still active on Reddit but would like to make the Lemmy community grow so mabye it can become and actual alternative.
Sorry for any disturb, bye :3
P.S.
Ban evasion control is stupid and I fucking hate permabans, since they are so common for the minimal stuff.
I got banned, for evading a ban. (I didn’t know I was banned, was just using one of my 3 alts for different hobbies and made a comment, instantly banned all 3, no appeals)
thats what happen to alot of people. if you had a old ban, and you commented in a newer sub like years later, the recent purges just look at all your accounts that ever participated in it,(for example something you were ban in r/tech, r/news and you had old accounts that visited those subs but not ban, they were going after that too) and ban all of them. they never did this unless you were a serial ban evader. the theory goes around is that they want a read only site, people will just doom scroll on ads and propaganda all day.
Oh man…awhile back that happened to me: I complained to a mod in PM about racist posts in their sub - on my desktop account…then used the app on my smartphone because I wasn’t at home. It was different accounts because I’d forgotten my password at some point…but I didn’t actually care which account was what - I never cared about Karma and didn’t differentiate between them.
Little did I know the petty mod had given me a one-day ban for “harassment”…and both accounts got banned for “evading”. Back then Reddit admins weren’t swamped (I guess?) and the ban was overturned right away.
I think if that happened today it would have been an automatic autoban. It really feels like a set up. Why are they letting you have multiple accounts if they associate them with one person? What it feels like is Reddit given scammers tools that end up fucking over normal people.
If you are banned from a sub they leave traps I guess? Instead of not showing me the sub on my front page or not letting me comment, they leave it up to catch people “evading bans.”
That’s really what it feels like. Like…they have all this technology that associates multiple accounts with one person…but they don’t give you heads up even if they know damn well you’re the same person.
There must be some function of alternate accounts that benefits Reddit in some way.
Publicfreakout btw, no idea how I got banned from there, was just commenting on the front page to get karma up on the alt for my blender stuff with my content creator name.
