Not a joke, that person tried to take over a Colorado sub from my wife. We both saw exactly what he was doing and refused.
Loser behavior
Wow… Badmouthing this person I’ve never met for things they actually did? I’m starting 15 instances just so I can ban you from all of them. Would you mind giving me your wife’s account so I can ban her too? Or making one if she doesn’t already have one? Appreciate it, and fuck you ♥️
Use to be agasint the rules to ban cross subs for any and all reasons. Even if the subs where releated. Bans HAD to stay on the singular sub they where issued and the admins actually enforced it a lot of the time. Was a pita to report but you could get people reamed for doing it.
Somewhere around 2022-2023ish they removed the rule and things went to absolute shit.
lol, why would they remove that rule? The only reason I can think to block someone across subs is to be petty.
I would argue that there are quite a few, however those would be better treated with a site wide ban.
Yeah, that’s my point. I figure if you commit a banable offense, you either broke sub rules and should be banned from the sub, or you broke site rules and should be banned from the site. Only reason for getting banned specifically from subs modded by one person is them going on a power trip.
I’m banned from a bunch of random subs on here for joking that Jack Ma got disappeared for re-education. Power tripping mods are everywhere.
Wait, that’s not what happened?
Mods (and apparently the main developer of Lemmy itself) is a full-on tankie.
Doesn’t matter, mod has spoken.
Almost certainly an .ml mod/admin.
They’re Tankies and don’t like being made fun of. They also define pointing out facts as making fun of them, so you can see how that ends up.
The best thing to do is just ignore .ml and go on with your day.
It’s why I ended up abandoning lemmy and moved to piefed. Didn’t even want to indirectly support that group by using that platform for my fediverse exploits.
The ban hammer used to be a tool of the elite, now they just hand them out like candy
Well that’s weird, he literally did. I’m a China supporter partly because they treat CEOs with the proper disrespect.
Lol, piss off one of the Lemmy tankies and see what happens 😆
“The ml experience.”
It’s just missing the part where they call you a fascist pig.
I want to remind people that Lemmy is not immune to this
Yeah, was gonna say this does not feel very Reddit specific. Just a nobody power tripping.
I just had the opposite problem on Lemmy. I told a mod they were wrong so they promoted me to mod and said “you do it” lol.
That’s hilarious 😆 now if someone corrects you, you can pass the curse
How the turns have tabled.
Right, I did see your name somewhere, but I no longer remember the exact community. Anyway you are now and forever tagged “suddenly: mod” in my client!
Fediverse admins should form a pact against this kind of power modding, where we all agree to ban a mod who does this this, and defed an admin who does this stuff.
Users should have the right to vote if a mod should lose their privileges
The wprst part of reddit is subs can ban you cause you interact in other subs like bruh wtf?
Once, years ago after a bad school shooting, I went to the conservative subreddit to argue with them about gun control (specifically improper storage and liability) because I was so bothered by the shooting and was feeling impassioned.
Didn’t get banned by the conservatives for that, but I got auto-banned from a whole list of unrelated subreddits for even speaking to them. What kind of mean-girls nonsense is that? It was like I was being ostracized for briefly sitting at the wrong lunch table.
There is/was a Firefox extension that mods used which would put a warning on an account that participated in any of those subs. Mods are supposed to look into the nature of that participation before acting on it but of course not many did.
Whatever it was felt automated. It was very shortly after and all happened at once. I doubt any human looked at it.
I remember people talking about the bots at the time.
Are you saying reddit mods can be lazy to the point of abusive? Never!
anyone can just look at thier mod help sub, where they request assistance from the admins, you can tell some of them are pretty lazy or petty.
Mods that autoban based on participation in subs should have their mod privs revoked or be banned themselves.
Let me take a guess two of the subs that banned you, /r/upliftingnews and /r/mademesmile?
I can’t remember which ones they were now - it’s been years. I just remember laughing at how unrelated most were.
I engage with conservative folks on various subs because I find they are often easier to sway over to materialist lefty thinking than liberals are. Post-GamerGate, doing so got me autobanned from a whole bunch of subreddits, including various feminist, socialist, progressive spaces.
As far as I’m aware no right-wing (or adjacent) sub banned me for being a straight up socialist, including places like conservative and mensrights.
This shit is part of why libs suck and will keep losing.
crossbans happens, it was really aggressive during around the time when roegan started peddling to right wing base. i commented once on that sub(almost everyone in that sub was pretty making fun of joe roegan). recieved instant ban from other subs as a result.
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?
Muted
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 :(

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.

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.
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.
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.
We unfortunately get the same kind of thing in the fediverse - I’m still banned from a ridiculous number of sh.itjust.works communities (more than are in the modlog, even) due to automod, even tho the intial ban was reverted as a false positive.
I downvoted a couple of posts from one conservative community that were swept into my timeline when this account was new and I was looking around. A day later I was banned from it and five other conservative communities I had never heard of. I don’t think that was automod, I think some human mods want to keep the community free of opinions they don’t like.
Yeah, that kind of chain-banning is super popular, especially for a while over on db0. It can get pretty ridiculous, for example:
The smug ban message:
The community in question:
why the fuck is it “stable” and wolves with these dumb motherfuckers?
db0 (the admin) is a pretty big fan of generative AI - so db0 (the instance) is quite friendly to it, and has a bunch of communities dedicated to specific types of images generated using StableDiffusion - things like StableDiffusionMycology or StableDragons or, in this case, StableWerewolves.
gross
And nothing of value was lost
If it’s a false positive, you should be able to get it resolved by contacting the admins
Try posting in !main@sh.itjust.works
While I do sincerely appreciate the suggestion, unfortunately…
Oh that’s annoying, the next best step might be the matrix chat
oh! I didn’t realize they had one. Thank you!
Yeah I was being pedantic and caught a ban for something I completely didn’t mean to insinuate. It’s just internet culture at this point.
man I got banned from so many communities on lemmy just because I had the audacity to throw shit back at the monkeys.
fuck em. I blocked them so I never have to interact with those communities ever again. if mods with fragile egos want to destroy their communities by blanket banning people from everywhere they mod, let em.
The best part of the Fediverse is that you can create your own community on your instance with black jack and hookers; no one can tell you that you can’t do that.
You can be the lord of an empty community.
instance with black jack and hookers;
In fact, forget the instance.
Ah, forget the whole thing.
How dare you engage in discussion on a discussion site.
Yeah definitely doesn’t happen here at all. Delusional shit.
You have been banned from r/Pyongyang
It’s really a shame that reddit has no interest in being good, because there are multiple ways you could address this:
-
Slashdot style moderation review is my favorite
-
having resources elect their mods could also prevent these grabs and server as a way to handle obvious abuse
But they seem more interested in getting ai to replace mods & be worse at it.
How does moderation review work on Slashdot?
