“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”
In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol
These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.
It was a bot that automatically banned you
Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.
Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷
There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for “promoting suicide” because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because “the king is not allowed to commit suicide”
Also a bot that will ignore the explanation and reject the request
It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn’t work and is seemingly also run by bots.
end of the day these big tech companies need us in ways we don’t need them
Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn’t go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I’ve had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I’ve been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.
See, your mistake was not having hundreds of disposable accounts. 🤣
Clearly. :P
Reddit loves Nazis.
I got a warning for saying “I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye” in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.
Lmao. And they say comedy is dead.
“CEO” and “kill” going in the same sentence is ungood.
Doubleplusungood, even
People really need to get the fuck off of reddit.
Redditors are going to end up on !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world
We’re coming here, but slowly. We each have our tipping point and for many who just scroll mindlessly it’s not any worse than insta/tiktok/Facebook. The commenter crowd has largely moved over.
That’s a good point different people use it in different ways.
Mods are power tripping everywhere.
Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.
My post got taken down for racism.
I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.
“Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”
Told them to go fuck them selves.
Never got an answer.
I got a temporary ban once for racism - for a comment I made about a nonexistent race.
Your comments about “bulbheads” regarding the Xenomorph species is not appreciated.
You can tell that it’s an aspen tree because of the way it is
Won’t somebody please think of the advertisers??
It’s because they’ve given an LLM the ability to ban for “promoting or threatning violence”, and it’s terrible. It basically sees two “bad” words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like “unalive” and things like that.
Interestingly it doesn’t work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don’t get banned after quoting comments that get banned).
I can’t be the only one thinking of a lot of Reddit’s mods as Jimmy Wichard from King of the Hill, can I?
I would bet $10,000 that you get a notification saying “we’ve reviewed your appeal and decided the ban will stay in place”
Unapologetic enshittification is how the second quarter of this century will begrudgingly be remembered.
There are those who chose to control by “interpreting” the rules as needed. These people will use a different interpretation as needed to exert any control they can.
They’re being right is less important than YOU’RE being wrong
I just got permanently banned from Reddit at the end of a 2 day ban. I haven’t even posted or commented anything yet. Reddit is dead.
Now try this: mass edit all of your comments to be that post and watch how quickly you get banned from every subreddit, no appeal.
I don’t see how it’s terribly surprising that the death threat you quoted got lumped in with the earnest death threats.
Any human moderator would not confuse the two. Any human reporting in good faith would not confuse the two.
It sounds like this was llm backed auto moderation, which cannot understand context, which will kill communities and platforms quicker than a hot dog Loving ceo having to pay slightly more.
Quick, someone make a Lemmy instance called Scunthorpe. Should keep out the trash level of LLMs that seem to shit things up.
Yeah, the firehose ends up blasting both directions. Bot generated content leads to bot generated rule enforcement. Still nothing all that surprising to me.
