Wasted 15 years on that site to be banned for one fucking comment, burn baby burn.

i think people were shocked that all thier accounts were banned simulataneously, despite some of them not participating in the same subs, around the same time. they just went after every account in your ip address,device or browser. even if time has passed that a subreddit ban has been lifted in your old accounts. the site filters/AI doesnt take that into account, and i suspect its intentional.

i noticed reddit is very wary of browser forks now too(google, firefox forks), theres a reason they dont like brave(because it hides your fingerprints by default)

Same. My comment was "fuck trump and Obama" arguing about using drones to order civilians abroad. Do you remember what your violent advocation was?

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Mine was a direct, attributed quote from the US president.

I suggested drawing in chalk on the street outside of the governor's mansion, to protest the GIANT chalk Christ she had commissioned across the driveway to celebrate Easter one year.

It wasn't even a serious call to action.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Mine was "the german train system organisation should be burned down and redone anew" and "sprich deutsch du hurensohn"

[–] RiverRabbits@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Was it your plan to hit em with the left right politics punch, or...?

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No it was under a postof news that the CEO again got raised while the trains were delaid heavier than ever and that a lot of bureaucracy holds it back. Its not politics. Litterly just we need to redo how to organise our trains!

[–] RiverRabbits@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Well, everything is politics. But I was more wondering about the "sprich deutsch" Part - that's usually more of a racist thing, and therefore right wing politics. But if you don't see public transport as political you might be right-wing overall?

no OP.

I got the F out and deleted my old posts every time they restored them until they stayed gone.

[–] Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 9 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

Deleting your posts was a waste of time. Chances are likely that it is archived on their end.

Reddit has been paying close attention to behavior patterns of banned users and users they wouldn't want on their platform. It's likely they've gotten your posting imprint and just give you the comfort of thinking you've deleted your posts.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

You can download everything posted on Reddit prior to the great api ban in a torrent. So yeah it's still out there.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

deleting your account also wont stop them from finding your new accounts, they mostly archived that as well. they look at browser fingerprinting, device, device components, time zone discrepancy, browser size and VERSION, resolution,,,etc. if you use any paid service/trial service that can spoof any of these above and they arnt the correct versions, they can detect that.

and then theres the warming up period with new accounts(like not posting, reporting, or upvoting too fast after account creation)

[–] Fyrnyx@kbin.melroy.org 4 points 11 hours ago (7 children)

As far as I know, they use things called Evercookies and it's been a thing now too. If you have an Evercookie, then it won't really matter what browser you use or even if you clean the cache and history. You have to deep scrub your system and practically all traces of your browser to even get rid of those.

And even so, basic networking is a no brainer when they can just flag your IP and it won't even matter how many times you've done that process.

VPN and Incognito browsing is the way.

[–] sacredfire@programming.dev 1 points 8 hours ago

That there are so many ways to store data on a browser (including exploits) and that they expose so much information about your physical device is a big part of the problem. Even barring that, there are additional ways they can fingerprint a user. While any one thing might not be telling, when you take all of them in combination, it gets frighteningly accurate how easy it is for them to know exactly who you are.

They certainly can. Do you have evidence that suggests they are doing that?

Thanks haha, I was never really rah rah into reddit itself but it had a lot of cool niche subs for hobbies and such and that's where I spent most of my time not even in the default or political subs.

That's what pandering to the bigger techbros spez gets.

Being there stopped being fun ever since the shits started running a massive profile-and-purge program powered by fucking AI, as even casually mentioning violence against right-wingers or POTUS and his merry chucklefucks gets your account flagged for banning. That's why there's now a chilling effect.

Yeah, and it aged hard like milk.

I wonder why people on worldnews are not banned. 🤔

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 5 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago) (1 children)

israeli propaganda, as long as your pro-israeli or anti-russian you are free. last i recieved a 7day ban for critcizing benajamin as the instigator of the war.

[–] axexrx@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

I got my reddit ban for replying to someone in world news. Their comment was saying spain should declare war on israel. I forget why, this before the flotilla though.

I got banned for saying that was unlikely as israel is a nuclear power.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 14 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

All my accounts were banned except one, because I used a different email address for that one. Their "AI" isn't as advanced as they want you to think. They literally just track you by email and IP.

Reddit banned me today for making a joke that the patch title for Guild Wars 2 could match real life events.

What is the patch name? The Mad King and his Lunatic Court.

Permanently banned for what? Harassment.

[–] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Insult to the king, off with your head!

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 11 hours ago

im not surprised if the filters is looking for any "anti-trump" comments, they probably will ignore certain bots and not users.

[–] Winged_Hussar@lemmy.world 47 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Not how I expected GW2 to come up on Lemmy.... But here we are hahaha

Huh.

Does anyone else think that ChatGPT is still using the data, they’re just not referencing Reddit directly?

This is how you can tell Reddit’s $200+/share price is insane. Over 10% of its value dropped based on a different unprofitable company’s references to ingested content.

Yikes!!

[–] arsCynic@lemmy.ml 48 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

The entire stock market has become a meme stock pyramid scheme. No price makes sense; it's all glorified gambling making life on this planet worse for most living things.
