    I loved Reddit, until executives took a nosedive and their admins screwed my account over with a blatantly false suspension.

    Swartz would be appalled at what Huffman has done.

        They completely ignored my appeal. 0 response. Later that wrongful suspension was used to justify a permanent suspension.

        Same here

        I was recently permanently banned from a subreddit for being a “spam” account

        I tried to reason with the mods but they didn’t listen

        I got some of my OC removed on reddit. When that happened, I got a message from the sub’s moderators about the reason. Sometimes the reasoning did not make sense to me but in most cases it was in some way understandable. (I am also sure I must’ve pissed of a mod of the German sub because at some point they deleted whatever I posted…)

        Anyway, what I want to say is: I got one OC post removed here on lemmy and was given no notification nor explanation. I only noticed it by accident. I hate it here.

      I got banned because an egomaniac janny spammer I outed as a reactionary stalked me around the site and kept reporting my comments, and I got tired of appealing and having the admins ban their alts while allowing them to still operate on the site.

      Basically they ran a bunch of political subs that appealed to Reddit’s userbase, but also had self-published a red/rape-pill book, and other actual copaganda materials that made light of police violence etc for police unions. They would ban anyone who mentioned this and report anyone who posted his other materials as doxxing attempts, even though they themselves would advertise the same materials and their own persona as a writer+comic artist.

        Ya at the end I was banned from so many of the subs I liked that I was like, why am I even bothering to comment here? Ive said it many times no ban should be forever, we dont put people in jail forever and we should not ban accounts forever unless they can be proven to be bots, but then they should just be blocked before they ever get access to the system. But I gave up trying to convince reddit of that face and just left, its a cesspool now.
