Did users of other subreddit-logos also get hit with these or were we privileged?

I feel like it was just an excuse to hamper activity on the sub or they would have told you what the rule-breaking post was.

I'm 99% sure it was targeted at the CTH sub. They don't even have the rule against promoting violence anymore, they got rid of it at the start of the invasion of Ukraine. If you check the old subreddit it says it was banned for promoting hate.

I thought we got banned because we said JOHN BROWN DID NOTHING WRONG how were we promoting hate

It's very uncivil to say slave owners should be killed 😤 You need to consider both sides of the issue of owning human beings as property.

We got banned for "breaking rules." They never specified which ones in their announcement.

One time a turbolib told me that the subreddit universally wanted Trump to win based on a handful of users saying it as a hypothetical. When I explained this to them, they pivoted to arguing that we wanted Trump to win because we break the rules.

Yep. I got two back-to-back, my ban expired and then before I could even upvote or post I was banned again.

You have engaged in public wrong think, brace for orbital strike.

Why did the lemmy libs even leave reddit? This is exactly what they want.

Its a classic case of the Leopards Eating Faces Party discovering a leopard on their face.

Lemmy is full of victims of friendly fire, Radlibs and Trumpsters and 3%ers and the occasional leftist who pissed off the wrong mod, and anyone with a personality more interesting than toilet paper who bucked the narrative one time too many.

I remember people talking about it but I don't know if I ever got one.

It was targeted in the sense that the system was automated and the flagging of abusive content was itself targeted. Another invention of the Anti-Evil Team, I believe.

The only suspension I ever got on Reddit was when I criticised modern animal agriculture. I didnt even know that you could get suspensions just from upvoting, now I wonder how many if any of the multitudes of transphobes on that hellsite got hit with this.

reddit-logo really didn't like when I suggested that their precious pupperinos are really fucked up genetic experiments from exploiting animals affected by Williams syndrome

Since switching to lemmy I've never gotten these 😏

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

They stopped even pretending to report what it was that you did that was in violation of some undeclared rule. And since the entire admin system is just three poor bastards in the Philippines getting gore-bombed until their eyes bleed, there's no real way to challenge or appeal any of this shit.

One more reason why you shouldn't fuck with Reddit. Or, if you absolutely feel compelled because has the obscure info you're after, maintain a pile of alt-accounts that you can rotate through on a browser in ~~Piracy Mode~~ Incognito Mode so you don't have to worry about tracking cookies.

I've got hit by this at random.

I've literally never seen this but I now realize I'm in a hexbear community

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Honestly I never got one either. I never posted particularly hard on the old site so maybe that's why? Not sure though, I certainly would have up voted any number of 'rulebreaking' posts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I created a new account because I got 9 of those in a row. I believe it was because I was saying brandon committed SA.
