Screenshots of reddit.com/r/all on mobile as it appeared immediately after loading (did not scroll), taken at 12:34 and 12:40 PST; look what suddenly disappeared from the #1 post spot! That’s a rather specific “server error”…
I happened to take the first screenshot (12:34) because I thought it was suspicious enough that they were suddenly dealing with an unspecified “error” right as bad news about the site hit the top of r/all. Then a few minutes later (~12:38) the site didn’t load at all. A few minutes after that, the bad press post is gone from r/all. If you go to the post now (https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1jl6smd/elon_musk_pressured_reddits_ceo_on_content/), it says “Sorry, this post has been removed by the moderators of r/politics” (marked as “off-topic”).
Literally standard server errors man
I got mysteriously site wide banned without any warning. Only been warned once on the platform and never been suspended. I believed I was following the reddit TOS and guidelines but was banned for "violating “multiple rules.”
I have never been alerted about it by reddit ever what content of mine violated their site wide rules. I hope the admins here are more fair and actually respond to requests than using AI and algorithm and ignoring requests about wrongful suspension.
Did reddit team just start to hand out banhammers to accounts randomly? My alt was banned and then my main one was banned hours later. It was just a generic message not really telling me what content of mine violated their site wide rules.
Well it says the ban was due to content on your other account, so maybe check the message in there? It’s not that big of a mystery
I have that same message in both accounts. i even reached out to reddit support for more information when my appeal was denied for both accounts. Still awaiting to hear back.
I made a post on antiwork yesterday about all the additional comments underneath the top comments that just don’t exist when you go to expand them. Made a screen grab video of it. In one case it said there were 48 comments but you open them and nothing then you scroll to the end it said 458 comments and there were like maybe 40-50 it’s ridiculous what a corporate bootlicking shithole reddit now obviously is. At least it was better hidden before.
Picture of reddit, server error. Obviously.
I had already deleted my reddit apps on my phone and such before switching over to Lemmy. But now that I see Muskrat directly going after reddit similarly to how he did with Twitter, I went ahead and deleted all my accounts. Fuck that place.
Write a review of Reddit on the App Store saying about people being silenced. Reddit can’t remove it unless you write something offensive
how in the fuck is a post about that “off-topic”? Fucking sell outs.
sell outs
Well, yes. That’s entirely the point. It started years ago with the quarantining of fringe subs like WPD or Spacedicks, followed by allowing extremist subs like T_D to continue unfettered. Those were red flags many recognized, and Spez made it plainly obvious he was planning on commercializing Reddit and wanted a platform for advertisers. He didn’t lie about that, it was openly stated. Those events were followed up by cramming the Reddit app down our throats, the closing of the API, removing mods and communities protesting Reddit actions, the cleanup of anti-Spez art on /place, forcing ads into the feed, etc., etc. Now we have tacit support of censorship in support of an oligarch.
IOW complaining that Reddit “sold out” is a bit late. It happened a while ago. Now they’re licking the boot
ive seen that happen before, on the anniversary of 9/11, some guy posted a video of the retaliatory bombings, and it was removed pretty quick just like this. no trace.
At this point, being banned from reddit is a badge of honour.
I’m honoured to be near you.
Dang, I removed my account before the bans started flying.
I did have to re-delete a lot of comments very often, and then the bulk deletion app was suddenly enshittified
I still have 3 unbanned, high karma accounts that I don’t use anymore. One day I might need them to do a thing.
Server errors are nothing new for reddit
I scoured every pixel on every panel of that comic for several minutes OP.
I still get on reddit, but I just read I don’t vote or contribute in any way. I noticed today that anything critical of trump or his administration was having a difficult time loading, but yet non-trump related content loaded just fine.
Totally not suspicious.
Reddit hides posts you’ve already viewed
That, along with hide on up or downvote, is a account setting, and iirc isn’t on by default.
I believe the algorithm skips already seen posts so that you don’t see them again, whether this is on or off
why is the /r/comics post still there then?
It could have changed in the last year (I left in late 2023 personally) but I don’t think thats the case, also the other comic would have disappeared too if it was.
Your post got removed probably because it presumably violated Rule 14 of the subreddit on their disallowed submission types.
"Disallowed submission types
/r/Politics is a serious political discussion forum. To facilitate that type of discussion, all submissions must be articles, videos or sound clips. The following are also disallowed:
Satire or humor pieces. These submissions are better suited to /r/PoliticalHumor. Political cartoons can be posted in the Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread. Links that solicit users (Active petitions, signature campaigns, requests for money, surveys or polls). Submissions that are user-generated content without editorial oversight (ex: C-SPAN clips, selfposts/textposts, reddit polls, any submissions with user created text) Political advertisements as submissions. Advertisers should buy ad space on reddit.com if they wish to advertise on Reddit. Submissions which are entirely a copy-paste of the original reporting, or that add one paragraph or less, with a "read more at" link to the original content. Articles or videos that add another take on a subject, or include different verbiage or context are otherwise allowed. Live blogs/live threads/live articles"That server error also happens occasionally on their app for basically no reason. It’s not due to any post, I sometimes become unable to see my profile for like a minute before it goes back to normal.
I get and don’t disagree that Reddit is pretty fucking shitty, but not everything has to be or is attributed to some sort of conspiracy on how everything is getting censored because of blah blah whatever. Oh, and breaking a subreddit’s rules and getting your post removed or banned for it isn’t censorship (waaaaaaaay too many people do this istg).
Defend that shitpile all you’d like, I’m never going back.
I’m not telling anyone to go back, buddy. I’m explaining the reasons why this and that happened. That it’s not all due to some conspiracy b.s about censorship whatever.
It has gotten more & more tame & lame over there as the bots take over.
