Reddit Banning?

I’ve been posting on Reddit for several years. In the past week or so I’ve been getting banned from Reddit subreddits. Some of these subreddits I never heard if and don’t even know if I commented on them because when I read the email it doesn’t provide a link to the message I supposedly wrote. Is this a scam? What’s a “wave ban”?

I got banned from politics from saying Lauren Boebert and her bf are hoes. All I said is, “They’re both a couple of hoes.” I was banned for hateful, sexist speech. But I said both were hoes, so how is that sexist? And since when is “hoes” hate speech? Half of hip hop artists would be banned.

Why now? After postings for years, what am I, in a sudden ragefest or something? Why am I getting banned for not saying much different from what I’ve been saying for years?

I don't care.

We don’t care that you don’t care.

Are you posting about how a whole group of people don't exist and that they are all mentally ill and belong in concentration camps OP?

That's probably why.

Is Reddit a UK-based service? I've never seen such a high percentage of uncut cocks.

They’re banning you because they know you’re a snivelly cunt

by Anonymousreply 6September 21, 2023 1:07 AM

Reddit has always been censorious. You can't have serious discussions there. I only go for my ex-con sex in prison threads and big cock threads. There's absolutely no discussing anything unless it's just to agree with a scolding ultra left wing mob.

Hi, OP,

Thank you for your query. You were banned from Reddit because you're too fat and you're making others uncomfortable with your big fat body. May you find a community of girth that accepts you for who you are (you are a fatty).

One can only imagine which one of our resident authenticated trolls the OP is.

by Anonymousreply 9September 21, 2023 1:30 AM

There's always gab, OP. They allow anything there. Best wishes!

by Anonymousreply 10September 21, 2023 1:47 AM

Maybe it’s because you don’t know slang and Reddit doesn’t tolerate sloppiness. A “hoe” is a garden tool. The urban slang version of “whore” is “ho”. An example of its proper use: “OP, you a sloppy ho.”

If you had written “They’re both a couple of hos”, you might still have your posting privileges on Reddit. Educate yourself, ho.

OP is our resident shit demon troll with 50 different authenticated names.

Reddit has changed from a few years ago. This year it got much worse with the megalomaniac banning crew. It used to be a place where you could discuss things. Now it’s taken over by astroturfing political operatives. The bern sub was found to be run by the alt right. There are multiple subs still showing snuff films. Ukrainian war sub is terrible. Several subs about controversial things are using major ban hammering. It’s fascinating once you realize what the true function of each sub is.

So I go off on there against Rhonda, Dump, and advocate for gay rights but I post in subs and try to tailor my comments (not only just agreeing) it’s pretty good. the way they banned you in those subs sounds like it was politically motivated. the anti cop subs are really good, and yes there are definitely some nice dicks being displayed

You got a preemptive ban for posting in a sub that some power hungry mod dislikes. Not uncommon.

They will never ban a big cock pic. The cock rules. Straights and gays.

by Anonymousreply 18September 21, 2023 3:04 AM

So you didn't post in any place like r/conspiracy or anywhere that could be deemed "problematic"?

I was immediately banned from a pro-cop sub a few years ago but I expected that. It was a joke that LEO subs would ban for anything even vaguely not ball-lickingly pro-cop. So I went there and posted a factual statistic just to see how long it would be before I was banned. It took about 3 minutes.

But that was the only other time I was banned from a sub.

I got a temporary ban on Twitter (pre-Musk) for saying a politician should go jump off a cliff. This was determined to be “encouraging self harm” as if I was that nasty New England girl who texted that suicidal kid to kill himself already.

Those were the only times I’ve been banned before.

I’ve never been banned on Datalounge and only had an authenticated name years ago, R12, when I posted in a Dead and Blatant thread pretending to be insulted.

Reddit is ridiculous. Most subs have like 500 rules you have to follow otherwise your posts will get taken down.

by Anonymousreply 21September 21, 2023 5:28 AM

You can only really say bland things on reddit. I'm really only on there for the cat pictures.

But you can be the 1400th person to repeat the same line from a Simpsons episode in a thread about something that has nothing to do with the Simpsons.

Does anyone know how to unjoin a sub? I can’t find instructions on reddit, which is typical. They can ban you from a sub but you can’t ban the sub’s posts from taking up 90% of your front page

by Anonymousreply 24September 23, 2023 5:39 PM

This is how I do it on my laptop. It might be different on other devices.

Go to your Reddit home page. Click on the arrow for the dropdown menu with your subs listed. Click on the one you want to unjoin. You'll see a button that says "joined." Click that to unjoin.

I too would like the link to the ex-con threads.

[quote]Reddit has always been censorious.

There is not "Reddit" at Reddit.

Reddit is an amalgamation of user created subreddits that are self-monitored by volunteer moderators. Sure, there are some general standards and guidelines for Reddit overall, but the decision to ban people is at the subreddit and moderator level.

However, getting banned for certain things from one subreddit will get your auto-banned from several other subs - there's an account flagging system in place.

well imagine if dl was moderated by its strictest and most prolific posters. it would be ruined in a week.

I might change my name to Reddit Banning...it has a Harlequin Romance ring to it.
