I dont know what is up with reddit lately. But i tried to post something and their systeem kept deleting my post. I didnt said anything wrong. How are people still being able to post anything on there?
reddit was cool until obama did that ama and 100K people joined overnight and rich folk realized they could influence public opinion via the site. thanks obama.
what is up with reddit
Who cares
well. i mean… i do… i tried to use reddit… but their system is so salty lately
Better turn your back on them and never regret it
i’m starting to lol
You already have an account here, so you might as well delete your Reddit account. 🙂👍 It’s quite liberating, IMO.
yup lol
And while you’re at it, consider using shreddit to overwrite your content. That way, those suckers cannot sell your data to AI companies after you delete your account.
Reddit is dishonest with moderation. Kind of a dealbreaker, but they have the critical mass so it is a good resource for some stuff still. For getting help with niche things. Like brewing or making maple syrup.
I cannot well get past violations for things no reasonable person could say would be against the rules. Often after arguing with influence operatives on other subjects.
I am missing out on a lot of topics I’m interested in from Reddit as well, but for me it was worth leaving.
Yeah me too, worth it in spite. I am trying to quit all tech companies I feel gouged me, forced me to give up info unfaiely etc.
Like email locking me out without putting a phone on it, then periodically locking me out until verification. Amazon, facebook. Youtube. I never uaed them that much but fb I need marketplace, amazon I need for a few things.

This place is a strong anti-Reddit echo chamber, it’s not really the best place to ask about this.
Do you know if the post was removed by a moderator or Reddit themselves?
Iirc a post can look removed if automoderator marked it for a manual moderator review. This can happen for reasons like your account being too new, you not having enough karma, or you using certain keywords they want to manually review. It’s usually meant to prevent spam, not anything nefarious.
I’ve seen someone before complain on Lemmy about this exact issue, and it turned out the post in question was clearly there on their profile because the mods approved it between them complaining here and me checking their Reddit profile.It’s also possible that your understanding of what’s wrong to say might be wrong. This is especially the case if Reddit themselves removed your post. They don’t just do that for no reason. Even when a post gets removed for mentioning Lemmy, that’s overzealous mods doing the removal, not the admins.
It’s also possible that your post might look innocuous to you, but not to another person. For example, there are certain numbers that when used can get you labeled a neo nazi. Expressions might get misunderstood. English being a second language for either side might lead to misleading language or misinterpretations. Basically just listing potential reasons here I can come up with for why an innocuous looking post might get removed without ill intent, not saying any of this is justified imo.If the post was removed by a moderator, the answer to your final question is simple: people post to a different subreddit that mod isn’t in control of.
Great answer. I would also say that lemmy users tend to be more politically engaged in both directions, so there is less of a homogenisation of view points into the “reddit-consensus” when it comes to upvotes.
I remember using reddit in 2012, being at the end of my teen years, and only having discovered it a few years before: everyone on there seemed to clever compared to other social media at the time and I let the “reddit-consensus” genuinely affect my opinions. There was this post in 2012 where the OP was fearmongering about a free trade agreement Obama was trying to negotiate, saying it would harm small businesses in the US, with protectionism very much being the consensus. I had this moment of incongruity where I wanted to offload my critical thinking to the consensus but at the same time I thought, “This isn’t right; I usually support free trade deals…” Bit of a formative experience in terms of using more critical thinking when browsing the internet.
They ran the numbers and decided they don’t need you. are you going to stick around there even when they treat you like shit? Take what you can from there, but it’s not your “home”.

Reddit has much more users than can possibly be handled. Being a mod in one of those huge subreddits must be a nightmare, no wonder they rely more and more on bots. I wouldn’t care either about a few mistakes if I had to deal with hundreds of daily posts with thousands of comments.
That modmail inbox must be the craziest thing.
all the cool kids went elsewhere
Definitely
Remember virtually everyone here is because Reddit went Vader and folks couldn’t stand up for it.
The only thing weirder than people still using reddit, is when they think other people give a shit about reddit…
Maybe try using a redlib instance if you need to check out reddit. Personally, I wouldn’t sign in knowing I’m about to freely train that lifeless humming shell of a parasitic LLM incubator.
They can technically scan Lemmy too.
You have a point for sure, although Lemmy’s user base is around 45000 or slightly more vs 500,000,000 to Reddits. That’s like 0.009% of Reddit’s user base.
wait, are you saying that they putting posts from lemmy on their platform? Thats stinky
Pretty sure they meant that LLM companies can easily scrape Lemmy and train models off of the posts without any authorization. Its freely, publicly accessible(until, you know, they end up DDoSing these poorly funded instances out of existence by scraping them).
We should crowdsource a program to sniff ai data crawlers, then feed them poisoned info. Info more than useless if possible.
Myriads of Reddit bots going around these days removing stuff. Just message the mods and see, what they say. They may be able to approve your post. Else, just post on Lemmy.
Myriad Reddit bots
This is how myriad is used. 👍
I never got a response from Reddit regarding my account unknown state, too - https://www.reddit.com/user/serious_angel
I’d been using that account for years, and I can use it, and I do now. I do comment, vote, save bookmarks etc.
I’ve tried contacting the official Reddit via Email, and their automation tells to write them using the website form. I tried that too, at least 8 times over 4 recent years - no response. Never.
After several attempts, I tried sending messages to moderators in general Communities like /r/Laravel or /r/AskReddit, and I received response from them only, in a built-in chat, but when I try responding back - Error. Their response was to contact the official support, obviously.
Meanwhile, the account is marked as “banned”, if I am not mistaken, yet I never ever did anything to get banned in the first place I believe. I awarded other comments with money, purchased “NFT” avatars, so I contributed monetarily to the platform, too.
It just, all of a sudden, got “banned”, and for literally unknown reason. Again, I got that after years, too! No message from Reddit regarding it I found ever, and to a popular MPeople don’t even see my comments, and I had been commenting for at least a year before even realizing no one sees them! I accidentally noticed that when tried surfing to my account via “incognito mode”, and since then I’ve been trying to figure out what is wrong - yet no response:
It’s all unseen (for others) My current profile Frequent errors 
You can try making a new account with temorary email, 30 min window on guerillamail, sign up, verify the email, and you are in.
I abandon accounts after a second violation, it seems like once your account gets hot they find dishonest reasons to violate you on subjects other than the real reason you are targeted. They can blame the ai moderation, or not because we have no rights in the us. Companies can unfairly enforce rules and government and big biz can get their hooks in the company to pervert their moderation in ways it cannot be proven.
But if the same ip it could follow you, and even if not they could still tell if they really want, your data is their business. But check reveddit for ways to tell right away if your account is shadowbanned.
Thank you very much for sharing about the /r/ShadowBan Community! I’ve read their pages, and the tutorial regarding appealing, and it the form at /appeal does indeed offer a field for submission!
Previously, I used the second appealing method, likely powered by ZenDesk. but no response. Yet, it is the first time I used the aforementioned form, and I hope to receive response eventually!
Regarding the ban-evasions (multiple accounts, Emails), I had a quite sorrowful case with it on Freenode/Libera IRC, where an operator (I would name them… but won’t - it feels impolite, since they are not here), had been banning me for literally unknown reason at least 8 times in a few months, and for weeks, in the channel
#linux. I’ve been in this channel since at least 2007, and these bans not only caused me much worries, but I just tried to realize the reason. I wrote them in private - nothing.
Here, I a created new account at Freenode, they banned me, too (Linux Community prohibits “alts”). I created another, and got a network K-line. Created another - got another K-line, and here I damaged my reputation in the channels who saw the K-line on the network, to such a low level I still try to recover. And when you try explaining the matter, it gets only worse…Just a few believe you on IRC if you get K-lined. After a year of making a mental pause< I re-joined, and got almost instantly ridiculed by another member who recalled me being “banned so many times”, yet what I could do? No one listened to me and no one believed I had no idea why that operator was banning me in the first place, including other operators.
What is interesting is that this operator is not an operator anymore the last time I checked, though 4 years have passed since.
Regardless… Thank you, and please do stay safe, too! 🛡
Sounds like you were shadow banned for something. Your account is still active and you can post, but no one sees them. A lot of people see this is cowardly, but many platforms use it because if you outright ban a bad actor, there’s little stopping them from making a new account and continuing doing whatever it was that got them banned.
Thank you very much for the care and response! I’ve followed the idea @[email protected] shared, and hope to receive a response from Reddit, eventually. I wish you a great and safe day!
What?
Because they feel like they can with whoever’s left on there as they’ll just be replaced by bots anyways.
So they basically cutting their own throat here. Good riddence to them. WELL. It’s good that lemmy comes to the rescue ey?
They still live well on stupid masses
I thought you were talking about the users. But basically because there is so many users and the expectation in post effort is much higher than other platforms they need to do a bunch of things to filter people. Its really not hard once you know but it feels impossible when you’re new.
How are people still being able to post anything on there?
They’re not. You’re seeing bots.
