1 day ban for quoting the former CEO of a Costco
"If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out."
In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I'm threatening violence. Lol
How many people get banned for quoting Trump's violent rhetoric?
Nothing makes sense at reddit.
Moderated by AI for your safety compliance.
Sir, this is lemmy
...in a reddit community...
Edit: Lol at the deleted reply "we call them instances" even though this is indeed a community on an instance.
It was a bot that automatically banned you
So like 99% of the rest of Reddit
Oh, that makes it so much better…
Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.
Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷
There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for "promoting suicide" because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because "the king is not allowed to commit suicide"
Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn't go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I've had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I've been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.
See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣
Clearly. :P
Reddit loves Nazis.
These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.
I got a warning for saying "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye" in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.
Lmao. And they say comedy is dead.
"CEO" and "kill" going in the same sentence is ungood.
Doubleplusungood, even
Oh no, not doubleplusnogood!
People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.
Redditors are going to end up on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world
I generally surf Lemmy first for a while, and then scroll reddit because there is simply more content. I have been participating less and less on Reddit and trying to participate on Lemmy more. But for things like episode discussions for various TV shows, reddit is really the only game right now and I do like trading those.
Eventually reddit will most likely completely leave my rotation, because they are really trying to make it as shitty as possible.
We're coming here, but slowly. We each have our tipping point and for many who just scroll mindlessly it's not any worse than insta/tiktok/Facebook. The commenter crowd has largely moved over.
That's a good point different people use it in different ways.
Mods are power tripping everywhere.
Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.
My post got taken down for racism.
I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.
“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”
Told them to go fuck them selves.
Never got an answer.
It's because they've given an LLM the ability to ban for "promoting or threatning violence", and it's terrible. It basically sees two "bad" words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like "unalive" and things like that.
Interestingly it doesn't work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don't get banned after quoting comments that get banned).
Won't somebody please think of the advertisers??
I can't be the only one thinking of a lot of Reddit's mods as Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill, can I?
I would bet $10,000 that you get a notification saying "we've reviewed your appeal and decided the ban will stay in place"
Unapologetic enshittification is how the second quarter of this century will begrudgingly be remembered.
There are those who chose to control by "interpreting" the rules as needed. These people will use a different interpretation as needed to exert any control they can.
They're being right is less important than YOU'RE being wrong
I just got permanently banned from Reddit at the end of a 2 day ban. I haven't even posted or commented anything yet. Reddit is dead.
Now try this: mass edit all of your comments to be that post and watch how quickly you get banned from every subreddit, no appeal.
I don't see how it's terribly surprising that the death threat you quoted got lumped in with the earnest death threats.
Any human moderator would not confuse the two. Any human reporting in good faith would not confuse the two.
It sounds like this was llm backed auto moderation, which cannot understand context, which will kill communities and platforms quicker than a hot dog Loving ceo having to pay slightly more.
Quick, someone make a Lemmy instance called Scunthorpe. Should keep out the trash level of LLMs that seem to shit things up.
Yeah, the firehose ends up blasting both directions. Bot generated content leads to bot generated rule enforcement. Still nothing all that surprising to me.
