lmao, they tried to suspend my account for "harassing" a scam post.
I got in trouble for “report abuse” as I reported every post for sexualizing minors in a sub dedicated to a certain musician/OnlyFans model “in their prime” aka before they were 18.
ಠ_ಠ gross
Yes this was worse in my mind than getting the sane for reporting a sub that sold CSAM because at least that involved research and critical thinking (why would a post be a scan of a print photograph taken with an analogue camera of a handwritten list of porn mags? answer: they were all legally produced at the time CSAM)
Same here report abuse for misinformation of political comments, I heard the CSam was going down in the barely moderated medical subs, through the DM, mods finally stepped in, but they allow self harm
They 7-day banned me for 'encouraging violence' for saying I didn't think Mangione deserved to go to jail for what he did. I appealed it and it was lifted, but not before it was upgraded to a permanent ban for ban-evasion on other accounts (I've never had more than one account in my 14 years of reddit.) The perma-ban was lifted on appeal too, but by that point I was just like fuuuuck off.
i've had various accounts over the years and never gotten hit for "ban evasion". that being said that suspension was my last straw and i deleted my account.
Same thing happened to me. I told a guy to fuck off and got banned for not being nice. I appealed, but before that process completed, they permanbanned my 14 year account. I like that on Lemmy I can say normally uncontroversial things like "Nazi scum fuck off".
Reddit has a feature where there helpfully link your account to stranger's accounts. When the stranger is banned from any sub, you are too. But you don't know you are banned from those subs. So when you innocently post, you get perma-banned.
Interesting, their filters must be automatically assume a horde of bots are connected
I heard they did that a bunch of other users too, temp ban, resulted in perma ban of other accounts as soon as the temp ban was lifted.
