This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
How does that biowaste bin fire still have users who can read and write?
Because there are still a lot of content creators, especially in the technology field.If the process of sharing code and projects and receiving feedback took place on another platform, nobody would use Reddit.That's my only reason.
Is Paul on Lemmy yet?
It's funny how a lot of the complaints I'm reading here are about how Reddit is unfriendly toward left-leaning people but all the right wing people complain about how Reddit is a cesspool of liberal propaganda.
It just goes to show that the platform plays both sides just to promote hate and anger.
I visited after I got banned and the default posts that show up without logging in (therefore uncurated) were all so irritating that I had to assume they were all ragebait.
Reddit is hostile towards left-leaning people, and it is also a cesspool of liberal propaganda. Liberals fucking hate leftists, even more than they hate fascists, because liberalism is fundamentally pro-capitalism. That's why the mainstream media is currently crashing out about people like Hasan Piker, who actually represent a growing base of support for socialism, and they run every possible smear they can.
So, in conclusion, Reddit banned McCartney for posting images from his own concert in his own subreddit? Wild...
Your pictures are welcome here, Paul!
I got banned from a bunch of Reddit subs for once telling someone they were wrong about the Yorkshire accent in the UK. They called me a liar about being British and then I got banned from like 30 places at once.
I got a "permanent suspension" from all of Reddit. Isn't a suspension temporary, wouldn't a permanent suspension just be a ban?
reddit says he wasn't banned but temporarily restricted during a password reset requirement, which showed him as banned due to a reddit bug
that bug has been ongoing since last year, it resulted in a ton of bans. one of my last accounts during the purge has the "password request" the first time he freed up my account from "ban" and then a 2nd time it shadowbanned me. something tells me its somewhat intentional to cull the numbers on reddit.
My three notable bans:
Edit: I forgot to mention when time number 2 happened. I asked the mod "Why was I banned?" Then my entire account got a 3 month suspension for "Mod abuse" by the admins.
When Epstein was sent to prison and was in protective custody, I suggested that he shouldn't have special treatment and belonged in genpop.
Banned for advocating violence against someone.
May that mod have a spasm and faceplant hard on a gravel road, then be forced to drink cold hot-dog water while listening to Baby Shark at high volume on an endless loop. And may all their teeth fall out but one, and in that, may they have a toothache.
TIL Sir Paul McCartney is on Reddit.
Was on Reddit
Fux you spez.
Reddit will ban you for even the mildest of takes. Their AI admin is draconian in metering out bans. The platform seems to really want to get rid of all of the pesky humans still there and just be a safe space for bots.
I honestly don't know how anyone stays on Reddit very long. They permaban people for ANYTHING these days. They abdicated their site to psychopathic, power-tripping mods.
Just for context, Ghislane Maxwell was a Reddit mod.
I just want to say that I know people who have known Paul for many years, and every single one of them have nothing but good things to say about him. He knows people want to catch him doing jerk behavior, so he bends over backwards to be polite and respectful to EVERYBODY. He's a Righteous Dude.
It's always interesting to see people commenting who don't understand how reddit works. Which is fair - you can have an opinion. But knowing how it works makes a difference in how seriously I can take your opinion.
Mods on reddit cannot do a sitewide ban. They can ban you from one or more subreddits they moderate.
Admins do sitewide bans, which is what's happened here, since you can see the profile has been banned.
And these days, with reddit's shitty AI moderation, it probably means a ban done by AI.
Because this is not a normal person, someone will probably take a look at it and overturn it.
If you're a regular joe, however, them taking a look at it even if you appeal is pretty damned rare. And as some have mentioned - things that trigger AI as a "threat of violence" that a normal human would easily see are not - doesn't matter, AI bans. You get a warning, 24-hour, 3-day, 10-day, 30-day, then permanent. Unless there's something that accellerates that.
As much as many people manage to survive without saying things AI picks up on, it's damn easy to get unjustly banned, and it's only gotten worse and worse over time.
Anyone in this thread talking about bans from mods is technically offtopic, except that reddit itself is also the topic, so that's fine, but you should understand that a mod banning you is not similar to what happened here. :P
not anymore they dont, they have AI moderation to do the sitewide bans/shadowbans, there is no input from the admins themselves.
Looks like the account is reinstated. Good to know that's how to reach human support there: be Literally Paul McCartney.
The posts are gone, though. I hope this was the decision of McCartney or his team. Reddit doesn't deserve him.
celebrity accounts have special priveleges from getting banned arbitrarily. Sinese is another celeb that has been posting his usual propaganda, how convenient for the guy to suddenly show up just before the election and posting military ganda. and shortly after that how he "left hollywood for his son" and not because he came out a REPUBLICAN shill(subtley) that would derailed his career in hollywood anyways.
Got banned from some subs once because the editing software I was using to sanitize and delete my account hadn't yet removed an edited comment.
Mod quoted it. Sent it to me and said this makes no sense. Banned.
The comment being edited was 4 years old.
Lmfao
Idiot mods gonna idiot.
reddit is ruled by bots now, makes little sense to stay there.
thier moderation is ruledy by Ai bots.
