Speedrunning a permaban on my 15 year old account. How many days do you think it will take?

    I deleted my 11 year old Reddit account a couple days ago after being banned for quoting The Sopranos. On r/movies. As a response to another Sopranos quote.

    For most of those 11 years I had no problems then just in the last month I was banned sitewide twice (for threatening behavior, I was venting about fascists and used violent rhetoric I guess, mind you this was on a repost of that famous video of a Nazi getting punched), given this same warning you got about upvoting things they didn’t like, permabanned from r/movies (again for the same quote), I just reached my limit. Reddit was great for me for a long time but I am better off without it. I was on it too much anyways!

      Only comedy revolving around punching down is legal. Joke around about punching up… that’s illegal now.

    One of my buddies was recently complaining about “free speech” on Reddit.

    Told him it’s a company and not the government, so free speech doesn’t count there. He hated that.

    Told him if he didn’t like it to use Bluesky…he’s a staunch conservative…lol

      I don’t know if you saw this article, but it’s a fascinating and infuriating read, it’s about all of the Luigi censorship and the upvote policing. It’s scary as hell. Check it out

        It talks about terrorist propaganda. I know a little bit about extremist groups use of social media… the tldr is social media is riddled with it. If they’re saying that’s the motivation then they are using that as an excuse. It’s ALWAYS been on reddit p, it’s nothing but a cover story.

      That’s why I finally pulled the plug on my 14 year old account. That Orwellian bullshit is a deal breaker.

        My 12 year old account got permanently suspended after an alt got a ban from r/entertainment for disagreeing with someone. Neither of us warranted a ban. Since I couldn’t block the sub from the news feed I accidentally commented again in the sub with my banned account not realizing the sub I was in. Then I commented with my main and got permanently banned. I appealed but didn’t get a response. This all happened over the course of a month or so and left an awful taste in my mouth.

            Haha samesies with my 12 year old account. I kept an alt for like 3 months before reddit just randomly banned it. Tried to create one more account and it got banned that day. Looked up Reddit alternatives and found this place :)

    HELL YES COMRADE, FIGHT THE POWER

    fr though, this is such a badass way to get banned. don’t even reply to them - just keep doing the thing, post, and watch as every pathetic attempt at intimidation gets hundreds of defiant upvotes here.

    hey so i started looking at a new place because I’m tired of reddit and the people on it… My upvotes began just disappearing. I hate to be that person, but I think I was shadowbanned. I didn’t even know that was a real thing until reddit. When the little reddit guy’s back is turned on your icon you’re in some kind of restricted mode. Anyway, i noticed my upvotes weren’t showing and someone else kinda fiddled with it with me to see what was going on. I don’t know if this is related to luigi but it’s some weird nonsense.

      You sir or ma’am were shadowbanned. They want your views, not your voice. Basically you are ad revenue to them, if they ban you they lose that sweet juicy $.02 from their advertiser. They want two cents from their advertiser, just not from you.

    Be sure to delete your old content. They did the warning: 3 day suspension:perma-ban combo on me (all in one day), so I couldn’t delete mine.

    Fucking cowards sending out the messages from an account that you can’t even reply to? Are they also sending out these messages to people upvoting /r/Conservative content? What about/r/Conspiracy?

      Dude one of my guilty pleasures on Reddit was r/fightporn. You’re telling me people are getting this kind of warning while the site also hosts a sub dedicated to real street fights? Fuck outta here

      most tech should be considered state media at this point. during covid i said something about omicron being more transmissible than the original variant even in vaccinated people (true statement) - perma banned with no warning. now if you don’t immediately condemn “hate” towards nazis you are also banned/warned lol

    so would this work if I made a comment then edited it?

    I’m thinking it would be fucking hilarious to go on conservative and get them to upvote it only to edit it to say something like, “Luigi is a hero!”, then they just start banning all the bots and conservatives.

    I’m not petty at all 😅
