I’m about at my wits end with Reddit as a regular user. I have 2 accounts that I’ve used there for a while. One of them is my main user account, the other I use mostly to mod some subs.
My main account recently caught a 7 day ban because of their stupid new “Violence” bullshit. It’s so targeted, and blatantly obvious that it really only applies to comments about certain things. They removed the comment that supposedly triggered it, but all I was was
Hey Leon, you remember when you hit the cybertruck with a baseball bat? Why don’t you go fuck yourself with it.
That’s it, that’s all I said. You could post that same comment directed at an actual Reddit user, and not catch a ban.
Don’t misunderstand me here. I am not now, nor have a I ever been under the delusion that Reddit was the bastion of free speech they tried to claim for years. But seriously, they need to get their fucking heads out of their fucking asses.

You could not support their wars, and also not stoop to their level of pettiness.

He’s just a fat ass blow hard making noise.
Cinder Bloc @lemmy.worldto Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump again demands the annexation of CanadaEnglish8·6 months agoLiberal American here, for a long time conservatives here have miscalculated how well armed many of us are. The anti-gun crowd (not to be confused with gun control) are just the vocal minority on the issue, giving the impression that liberals hate guns. My gun safe begs to differ, and I own more guns than any conservative I know.

Very few actually carry through with it. So, in a way, I kinda like this guy for actually doing it, even if he didn’t cover his tracks very well.

Cinder Bloc @lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Apparently Mods are being given automated instructions to "check for violence" for any comments that contain the word "Luigi". Subreddit drama discussedEnglish71·6 months agoWhich is stupid. A mod can just ban you forever and call it a day. Where the Admins have fucked up is if you harass a mod via modmail, they can only mute you for I think 28 days max, before you can start harassing them again. So, instead of letting a mod simply mute you forever, they created the report bullshit.

Subreddit drama discussedEnglish15·6 months agoThey recently, meaning I don’t exactly know when it happened, gave mods the ability to report you for “Abuse of the report tool”. For the record, I’m a mod on some subreddits, and that’s an absurd thing to need. I’ve learned a few things about being a Reddit mod.
- It’s not nearly as hard as some mods make you think it is.
- If they actually experience difficulty, it’s probably cause they suck at being a mod.
- Subs that experience issues, are typically cess pools like r/conservative.

Cinder Bloc @lemmy.worldOPto Lemmy.world Support@lemmy.world•Request to take over abandoned community7·6 months agoI understand, and I appreciate you giving me the chance. If it helps at all, I have considerable mod experience on other platforms.
Curious. Did you use a tool to delete it?
