News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I was shadowbanned from reddit when I shared the popmart discord link with commenters in the skullpanda subreddit who were asking for the invite link. I didnt know this was not allowed and now I've been shadowbanned for what feels like forever. I only wanted to expand the skullpanda/popmart community.

I have been appealing every day. Dear reddit, if you recover my account, I promise never to try and simply help another human being who shares an interest with me again.

Please let me back in ๐Ÿ˜”

Bro just make a new account. Your fake Internet points don't mean anything. Take some pictures of cats and post some stupid title and get a bunch of fake Internet points if you really care.

that used to be the case, but reddit AI moderation/filters is to aggressive for that now.

Worked for me last month.

That can be a quick way to get device / IP banned if you do it wrong

switches to cellular network

They also track your unique phone identifiers and your browser. Better be good at scrubbing

[โ€“] viciouslyinclined@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Right, I've heard of others getting banned completely after making new accounts.

YOU WOULD need a new IP, device, and different browsers than your using, reddit also tracks browser fingerprinting and canvasses, other additional is look your device components, time zone,,,,etc.

  1. Connect to mobile network - cell towers have limited IPs and distribute them randomly making this connection very anonymous
  2. Clear browser data on a common browser like chrome on windows
  3. Get a Gmail or other trustworthy email provider
  4. Register account
  5. Avoid using apps especially on ios
  6. Profit!
[โ€“] VegasVator@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Do none of that. Just use a different email.

[โ€“] scytale@piefed.zip 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At some point you have to just let it go.

shadowbans are pretty hard to get around with, unless your using the above methods which will cost money. if it was just a regular permaban, you might be able to get away, by waiting a month or 2 and making a new account in a different IP location, like a library or university.

[โ€“] boaratio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Maybe get off Reddit?

[โ€“] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Add the lady in Frozen sang: "be the good girl you always have to be'

If you live in the EU you can submit a GDPR complaint because shadowbanning is illegal.

EDIT: Oh it might actually be DSA and not GDPR.
