at first it was easy to use a different account you made a while ago and avoid the sub you were banned in, but reddit started to look at everyones accounts that were banned in previously, and just banned you outright even if you waiting 1+years. or even accounts that participated in a sub that were years ago, but a new account was sub banned, they banned the old account as well. and now it results in them shadowbanning anyone now.
its basically FACEBOOK 2.0 at this point, half of them are propaganda bots, even palintir is getting thier dirty hands into propaganda botting. and yes people fall for AI ragebait, especially around trump and right wing talking points.
same thing happened to me" you have ben temp banned for abusing the report button", bitch your suppose to investigate the reported not the reportee, which makes me think alot mods dont like responding to reports at all, and confirmed in the mod sub, that they rather like an automatic filter to ban regardless if its a right or wrong ban.
the temp ban also set a chain of bans that purged all my accounts, and then i found out on other forums they had the same issue. multiple users with multiple accounts were unilaterally banned.
if you heard MTG in a comment for the first time you would think the card game, and not the neanderthal in congress.
also easier to block things like tankie communities and porn/ politics instances. reddit its harder to, because they have clones of variations of many subs. some of them maybe pure propaganda subs.
ever since they started using AI to overmoderate bans, th ignore any appeal of those done by AI, and it takes extremely long time for admins to even respond if they do it. thats why they use AI, admins are a small group of peopl,e they certainly arnt looking at thousands+ of appeals a day. so they ignore most of them. and i bet they only concentrate on the large subs, with users/mods with extensive histories, any new accounts, old inactive accounts they tend to ignore.
with ublock origin i never had ads, for ads, reddit wasnt as intrusive as other sites with ads. but now we see reddit is rpetty desperate for them now.
i dint discover reddit until 2012-13ish, when when looking for friendsafari exchanges, i unknowingly was using reddit at the time. thats how i discovered reddit, when i looked at the forum i signed up to but dont know that it was reddit at that time. it was also the last accounts to be shadowbanned this year too. i only knew about that old account because mutliple emails alerts were being sent to my phone that i recieved multiple permabans at once. due to a temp ban triggering it.
i think reddit's permaban purges died down, but they resorted to shadowbanning excessively, which is more stealthy. i noticed people were less likely to report it on other forums when they are shadowbanned, because it doesnt tell you that you are banned in anyway, reddit started to abuse the fuck out of this moderation.
reddit has a whole host subs specifically for general health conditions, to dermatology or to the one you may have. im visit subs of conditions i have to look into other peoples experiences.
reddit does it so obvious now, allows right wing content to overtake any other discussion, and discussion of trump is 99% of reddit right now, and not the important things hes doing behind the scenes.
i was originally banned in a lgbtq+ for allegley promoting homophobia, when i appealed they acknowledge the misunderstanding and unbanned me on tha tsub. but the real bans came when they started purging accounts when trump was doing all tariffs early in the year.
it would have to be something like 1+years, also shadowbans tend to be permanent, if you had multiple accounts banned simulataneously, like most people during the purges. its harder too.
only way around this is with a different IP that isnt flagged as spam, a new device, a different browsers.
