News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I think they have AIs banning people now, and AIs handling the appeals. I’m permabanned, and as far as I can tell, it was just for signing in while using public wi-fi, which made the AI think I was ban evading. There are no actual humans handling this anymore. If you trigger the AI, you’re done.
reddit looks at sudden changes in IP, or suspicious new browsers, or devices. thats where all the new bans are comming from.
because proxies can suddenly change IP.
That's what I find so bewildering. Like I am on a college campus, and I sign into a new device while using a user agent switcher and get banned instantly. There is absolutely no way they should be able to connect that account to me, so my only assumption is just that if someone signed onto Reddit while being on campus, they are gone and there's nothing they can do about it. Such a ridiculously wide net to cast while trying to catch and punish the most minor of offenses
I don’t see how the site is gonna stay afloat with this going on. Soon there won’t be any actual users. They need eyes on the ads to get revenue, if they ban all those eyes, they get nothing. They’re just gonna have bots talking to each other and no actual content. Can’t even sell user data when you barely have any human users left.
its mostly bots anyways, especial AI bots that post alot of slop posts. half is bots, and half is maybe users. and its not the good bots either, the propaganda bots.
