I’d be curious to see what their AI permaban tag words are. So many words must be listed since they will ban you for violence if you even mention Luigi or say the word “dead.”
I’d also love to be a fly on the wall for those conversations to see their thought process for how they deny the first amendment and how many bots they need to replace the one person they banned to make the site seem full.
i’ve been banned twice the past two years… for talking about my cat killing rabbits. once on a local sub and another on a cat sub.
apparently animal on animal violence is now too controversial for reddit.
i was also constantly blocking people the past year because i go sooo many harassing DMs. Never used to get those until like '23. i remember using reddit for like 12 years without every having to block anyone.
The fucked up thing (well, one of them) is that, with whatever new AI auto-moderation sentiment analysis thing they’ve employed in the past year or so, you receive absolutely no indication that action has been taken against your comments. Unlike shadowbanning, which has been around for donkey’s years, you still see your comments in-thread and can even get replies from certain users. It’s difficult to explain, even harder to prove, but they’re employing something such that certain tiers of users see your comments, while others don’t. Think skill-based match-making from the gaming world, but applied to thread-based social media. I hung on for quite a while after the writing was applied to the proverbial wall, but once I realized this I erased every trace of Reddit from every corner of my life. Now I’m here!
probably just an algorithm that groups users in accordance with known traits or interests or styles, furthering that ‘in group’ alignment feeling that comes from people who care about reddit comments lol
oh i can help with this one! calling gina curano a cunt is definitely one! now i cant have an account for more than 24 hrs without it being permabanned. they just ignore my appeals and requests to answer why i am permabanned over something as pathetic as that.
Just a point in all this. They can deny free speech all they want, they’re not a gov org. Only the 1st applies to the gov stifling free speech, a private org can do it all day long with no repercussions.
