during early FEbuarary, 5+accounts with 1-11years in between them were all sitewide banned, simply because of my accounts were temp ban it triggered a multi-account ban. finally my last acct was shadowbanned.
I silenced myself on reddit a few years back
I just got banned from reddit for suggesting the usage of cannons in a way not approved by the Atlanto-zionist west
Not reddit but worldnews permabanned me for saying Biden was complicit in Palestinian genocide. I was not a frequent or controversial poster.
I did. I was pretty active on NoStupidQuestions there. I called another user a fascist sanewasher because he was claiming Musk’s Nazi Salute at the inauguration was perfectly normal and something every politician does all the time. Within 15 minutes of me posting my comment I got a 7 day ban from the sub. Less than a day later I got perma-banned from Reddit completely. I hadn’t even commented or posted anything between getting the 7 day ban and the perm-ban.
I also had an alt account which I hadn’t used in a few years. I logged into that and found it was also permbanned, referencing my other account.
A couple of weeks later I got a new laptop (unrelated). I downloaded a new browser I’d never used on any device before (Brave), turned on my VPN and created a new Reddit account using a burner email address. Within a day, before I even posted or commented anything, the new account got permabanned and they referenced my other account. I don’t know how they knew it was me. It was a device that had never logged into my old accounts, in a browser that advertises itself as secure and that I had never used before, on a VPN so they weren’t matching my IP address. I’m clearly permanently banned, though.
Anyone knows how that fingerprinting might have worked here? Unless you used a very specific combination of browser extensions, I can’t get my head around how it could track you… Or do they maybe use external services like Google Analytics to identify users? But even that would require that you logged in somewhere else before with that same browser.
Used to be easy to create anonymous accounts; now there’s all sorts of verification
I’ve used all the supposed banned words and not even a warning. Not sure why Lemmy is pushing the “Reddit banned me narrative” seems very bot campaign like.
I went and liked every single Luigi post I could find and my account is fine, then went onto and called out a racist remark and got banned, but the racist op did not even get a warning and the post is still up full of slurs.
I think they just have a shitty AI doing the bans
I wouldn’t say silenced, i don’t really stand for anything, I’m just in it for the shitposts and easy feeling of company.
That said I have been permabanned arbitrarily 3 times.
Same here permanently banned for giving free advice
