12 year old account got permabanned for telling a Nazi off. But even before this happened I’ve noticed how much reddit has dropped off the last few years compared to when I discovered it.
It’s starting here too I called out a 5hr old account for being a suspected Russian bot and my comments were removed. I also got mobbed on by a manosphere group in a comment on an article about a book that a woman wrote about being doxed with revenge porn. The toxic Reddit culture is starting to come over.
I find anything remotely pro women has always got shitty comments from the manosphere. We recently had a spate of shitty male comments on [email protected]
Thanks for this response. I feel less alone. It’s pretty frustrating to see these manosphere mobs claiming victim status and accusing people of misandry when they speak frankly about their experiences. I was hoping that lemmy would be a better space for this kind of thing.
You’re on lemmy.world, they’re the default landing zone but imo there is better moderation on dbzer0 and others. Keep looking around and report stuff you see if it’s hate content. Good luck…
Elon whined to the admins, reddit is completely run by fascist bootlickers lmao. You can’t even shit talk dusty evangelicals for being the amoral murder rapists they are without getting a site wide ban
Oh good I’m not alone in believing something weird is going on like AI moderation. Random old account I had I wasn’t even using got a notification it was permabanned for violating a rule. No definition of which rule. Tried asking. Just a repeat that I violated a rule with no definition of which rule.
It must be just bots on there now.
no your not, i noticed it was odd that i wasnt recieving the incident of the ban, like they usually give if you get banned. but its just AI message and autorejection. and then the last thing, other accounts i havnt used years ago is banned too.
additionally, i had recieved a temp ban prior but it somehow triggered this.
Thanks,
I think I’m now just super creeped out at the thought of an entire site that is just AI bots now, updooting and responding to each other.
Or maybe I should be relieved. I was checking some of the stuff over there lately and I’ve just been getting sad and depressed about how stupid people have been getting.
Although it is Weird that Elon is getting offended by bots tho. Apparently he’s been asking spez to get rid of the mean dems saying bad things about him.
Billionaires are taking control of any avenue for free speech. Get yourself ready to switch to torr. Won’t be long now until it’s the last place free of misinfo/disinfo campains.
You think it’s bad? Go look at “popular” while you’re not logged in (no subs / filters). It’s shocking how insipid the experience is.
Just looked. It’s basically Trump, Trump, vapid stuff, Trump, vapid stuff, vapid stuff, Trump on repeat
Going to the new section at night really shows how overridden the site is with bots.
Enshittification happened, a long time ago.
Reddits purpose is to create Nazis. You can post anything and use AI bots to do it as long as you push right wing propaganda.
I mean a lot of things happened to Reddit.
The most recent obvious decline was allowing AI moderation. That’s when I finally checked out.
Yup. No description other than ‘you violated the rules’ and you’re supposed to guess which rule. It’s like dating a gaslighting sociopath.
it was pretty obvious when in feb, everyone was getting the AI ban message left and right, and on all your old accounts too. and then comes the luigi/violence banning, plus musk interference. and now SHADOWBANNINg at random for anything, its just to keep the user numbers low on the site. for normal users, and not spammers(of fans, links) instant ban for some, and then they accidentally commented ina sub where it might have requirements.
Left about 3 months ago, has not been missed.
I canceled my reddit premium account a few months ago. I was shocked at how numerous and annoying the ads are.
People use the internet without ad blockers??
People paid for premium??
You might be the first guy I’ve heard who paid for premium
Most of reddit is now a gross loop of ChatGPT shitting into its own mouth.
Like well obver 50% of the accounts are not real people anymore, moderation is also now handled by AI.
there was an article a while back, said 50% were bots anyways, while i was on reddit, it got noticibally quiet when reddit decided to do one of these purges.
True but point of OP is that it used to be liberal echo chamber but that has now changed.
Clearly Elon wants it a different way so you post anything you like as long as it fits Elon’s desired narrative.
It didn’t start as an echo chamber. Initially it was one of the few places online a progressive minded person could go and feel like they could express their opinions openly. And by “progressive” I mean both left and right leaning ideologies.
Which, funny enough is now a foreign concept. We call everyone on the left “progressive”, even though Biden and Kamala are clearly conservative Democrats. And we call Vance a “conservative” even though he’s clearly a progressive Republican.
Yep, absolutely. I lean right but fucking hate Trump. On lemmy I can say that, on old reddit I could say that, on current reddit I’ll get really nasty, hateful remarks and almost zero open dialogue
reddit holding to subs, like conservative, and a different donald sub+cospniracy, newnormal, trueunpopularopinion was a red flag.
Loads of old accounts are now just getting perma banned site wide.
I had an accot that hadn’t been used for commenting (just the every now and then looking for something) that got perma banned about a month ago. Reason? None given.
I’m guessing they want to rid the site of users that still remember how great it once was
I heard you can get banned for how you vote now. No comments needed.

… How do you create an account without realizing?
i framed it wrong, i meant i created accounts years ago, and forgot about it.
Account age was used when factoring the credibility/legitimacy of a user account when humans moderated.
The AI moderators don’t care, and making most non-banned accounts younger makes it harder to verify the legitimacy of the accounts, which is even a good thing if they are trying to flood the site with bots.
this hasnt slowed down mass accounts from created instantly and to spam propaganda, OF accs, or Links to a business. i think what happen is they just upped thier sensitivity of thier spam filters, now its seeing botting everywhere, even normal people. and yes AI cant discriminate between a real person and a botter.
I remember when reddit used to invite actual interesting celebrities to do AMA’s. Things never were quite the same after they fired Victoria.
Oh good old Victoria… I wonder what happened to her, I’m sure she landed on her feet.
there is one that still does AMA, but he shills for republicans now, and posts propaganda(because he conveniently started doing this 1-2 months before trumps election as if he was shoring up republican support and this was right after coming out as hollywood republican) about vets/vet injuries, how he “Cares” about them, just because he was in a movie and visited a hospital.(reminiscient of how hilaria baldwin think shes spanish just because she lived in europe for a while)
There was even a time when AMA guests would just do the AMA for fun, or to get in touch with their fans. Not just when they are starring in a new movie or show / have “written” a book or some other financial motivation looming overhead.
so I would like to talk about rampart
or political motivation. i can name one that occasionally comes on reddit to do his amas. and posts pics of the “vets” he support.
Reddit got threatened by a billionaire Nazi. Reddit caved to said billionaire Nazi.
When you make a new account it’s asks you for some of your likes. Sports, gaming, memes… Turns out Elon Musk is his own interest as well.
I got a 3 day site wide ban for saying that without due process, these ICE guys are just racking up hundreds of kidnapping and trafficking charges in a sane world. The ban said I was threatening violence. I’m done with Reddit.

I figure they have AI chatbots making the decisions and it can’t
termtell the difference between talking about violence and advocating for violenceWhen I got banned for ‘promoting violence’ they said that the ai had flagged it, but a human had confirmed it. The humans are just as fucking clueless about context.
The human automated their job with AI and is just collecting a paycheck
Or underpaid and overworked and possibly non native speaker human contractors
most of them use bots, the mods admitted to using those and they dint care if it gets random people or not(wether the context of the reporting was offensive or not), they believe it gets rid of them having to deal with it personally. i was looking at the modhelp, and help subs.
It really seems like it. I had all my posts wiped for the night when I got banned. It bothered me that my posts in r/lockpicking got wiped after I made a post in /r/news. I just said ICE agents should be concerned with the amount of kidnapping and trafficking charges that they could see if sanity takes back over because it’s getting into the thousands. Mods said that was violent talk and I was banned. I’ll miss r/lockpicking. It was a fun community.
Considering that the US is a fascist dictatorship now, pigboy is a fascist, and r/conservative gets boosted to the front page, it’s likely a non trivial number of mods and admins are paid intelligence operatives acting on behalf of Russia, fascists/conservatives, and corporate lobbyists.
Reddit is fucking dead. It’s like 40% Russian psyops trolls, 25% bots, 25% Nazi trolls, 5% users, and 5% admins looking for shit to ban people for
Remember back in 2022 when Russia disconnected from the global Internet? Reddit was great that day. The amount of trolls and devisive posts plummeted and discussions were much more civil. That was when I first started thinking about looking for a different place to hang out (I had been a pretty prolific reddit commenter). Then the stuff in spring 2023 happened and I found my way here, leaving Reddit for good. No regrets for sure.
Oh that was a golden day indeed. You were able to have a civil discussion with someone who disagreed with you and both of you had a pretty good time. Not only on Reddit but also on fucking YouTube!
Shows you how much Russia turnes anything it touches into pure shit.
And 100% cunt mods.
actually you can turn that 5% admin, to AI autobanning people, becauses thats been happening since janurary.
almost all the appeals were AI responses.
Apart from the 5% users, don’t the rest all overlap entirely?
Yes, but they make sure they have a separate account for each category, so the math works out.
