“If you raise the fucking hot dog, I will kill you. Figure it out.”

In quotes and attributed, in a conversation about the Costco hot dog. But apparently I’m threatening violence. Lol

      Good thing they can blame bots for this shit.

      Throws up hands “It was the bots, nothing bad we did.” Just like when AI fucks things up and companies won’t take responsibility. Because we didn’t do anything bad 🤷

      There are absolutely bots doing this sort of thing. Years ago when I still had an account there I got flagged for “promoting suicide” because I explained that a stalemate in a chess game can happen because “the king is not allowed to commit suicide”

      It probably is, the issue is that the appeal process doesn’t work and is seemingly also run by bots.

    These reddit ban appeals are just power trips for the mods. do not engage with this feature.

    Yeah, I got a 7-day ban for saying Luigi Mangione probably shouldn’t go to prison for what he did because they said I was inciting violence. They lifted it on appeal, but not before hitting me with a perma-ban for some bullshit about circumventing the ban with other accounts (I’ve had exactly one account on reddit in the ~14 years I’ve been there), so I decided they were getting a bit too fashy for my taste and started looking for greener pastures.

    I got a warning for saying “I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye” in response to someone saying Spider-Man 3 was bad. 😂 I made an appeal and it was rescinded almost immediately, but still.

      We’re coming here, but slowly. We each have our tipping point and for many who just scroll mindlessly it’s not any worse than insta/tiktok/Facebook. The commenter crowd has largely moved over.

    Reminds me when I submitted an appeal to Imgur.

    My post got taken down for racism.

    I send an appeal that it was, in fact, not racism and if it is to please show me where the racism is.

    “Thank you for contacting us. Your post got removed because of racism because it had racism in it.”

    Told them to go fuck them selves.

    Never got an answer.

    It’s because they’ve given an LLM the ability to ban for “promoting or threatning violence”, and it’s terrible. It basically sees two “bad” words on one line and send out a ban. It seems like an attempt at making people use words like “unalive” and things like that.

    Interestingly it doesn’t work if you spread it across more than one line(the haiku and similar bots don’t get banned after quoting comments that get banned).

    I would bet $10,000 that you get a notification saying “we’ve reviewed your appeal and decided the ban will stay in place”

    I just got permanently banned from Reddit at the end of a 2 day ban. I haven’t even posted or commented anything yet. Reddit is dead.

    There are those who chose to control by “interpreting” the rules as needed. These people will use a different interpretation as needed to exert any control they can.

    They’re being right is less important than YOU’RE being wrong

    Now try this: mass edit all of your comments to be that post and watch how quickly you get banned from every subreddit, no appeal.
