First i got a warning because i had the audacity to report an extremist mod, apparently reporting mods is a violation of rule 8 which says nothing about such a thing.
A few days later i randomly received a 3 days ban for the same „offense“ without having interacted with the matter any further.
Both were non automated actions.
Both times an appeal was declined with a generic copy paste response.
Now i‘ve got a 7 day ban for violating Rule1 about harassment.
This time per automation.
Apparently a single comment can be harassment, which is new to me.
I really would like to see which comment of mine was the gruesome crime but since they removed the comment „for the safety of others“, i cannot open it anymore…
I can only imagine that it was due to me answering another users question by providing a link and some context to a certain dark part of history, which reddits automation considered a no no…
When they issue such a ban they babble quite a lot about how people should feel safe on reddit…
You can’t safely post.
You can’t safely report.
Soon you can’t even safely upvote without expecting a random ban.
I haven't been back to reddit since the purge of 3rd party apps and never looked back, it's a cesspool and satire is the only attention it deserves lol.
Were you an old.reddit user? The mods generally don't care to update the stylesheets and information for that side of things - the two aren't linked, because of course they aren't - so the rule 8 you read might not be the rule 8 they were referring to.
Maybe someone should annoy nintendo that Reddit radicalizes the term "luigi" i saw nintendo go haywire for less maybe if they feel that their figures and marketing is dangered by reddit they will go ham on them.
