I’m a lady.
I migrated here from Reddit after getting a sitewide ban randomly, no reason given, no messages telling me what content of mine violated their site policy, and appeals denied and reddit requests ignored. Hello everyone.

Puzzlehead@reddthat.comto Reddit@lemmy.world•My observations about reddit bans and how they work1·13 days agoBut I never commented in subs i got banned from. That’s the thing. I had been using my alt for a couple of months. I’m thinking it was an IP thing when I used hotel wi fi so another suspended account got linked to mine and whatever reddit admin did with their bot for updates got my accounts suspended hours apart. This isn’t the first time reddit has messed up with their bots and knowledge it. They only do something about it when moderators make a big stink about bans like subreddit bans, bunch of their users getting banned. It’s happened before. Then they fix it by uplifting the bans.
Some reason my new account isn’t banned yet and I haven’t commented. Maybe because I cleared cookies on my browsers, logged out of all suspended accounts, made a new one with email not associated with any emails to my banned accounts.
Nope. Never heard of them.

That’s why I do so many edits. I don’t always catch the errors.

Ebay has changed a lot. It used to be, people just sold stuff there to get rid of and then people started to do businesses on it and now it’s catered towards professional sellers than for people who just want to get rid of stuff. There are payouts now. Most items are buy it now than bidding. Not so much of an auction site.

(No, this isn’t my actual opinion. This is an arguement racists use and white suprimists)
Puzzlehead@reddthat.comto Videos@lemmy.world•welp, Patreon just destroyed my stable income after a decade on the platform - what now1·15 days agoWow, I hope you were able to move elsewhere for your online store. It sucks easy did that. There is a human you can get to but that was years ago. Last time was in 2020 when I talked to a human in chat when I was having an issue with my order.
Not sure if it changed.
Puzzlehead@reddthat.comto Reddit@lemmy.world•My observations about reddit bans and how they work2·15 days agoI wiped out cookies on my phone. Used my son’s Google account he abandoned and made a new reddit account. I will see how long it lasts. Hasn’t been 48 hrs yet. I did modmail them in help about appeal and asked a couple questions about my unique situation. No response but no site wide ban yet, my two accounts still suspended. What gives? Are they teasing me? It’s not shadow banned either. I will just give it time before their bot catches it. Maybe the admins are sitting back and waiting for it to happen. I swear they’re incompetent if they have bots do their jobs for them and ignore users requests and modmails about suspensions.
Now I won’t log into my banned accounts. I’m guessing emails that were associated with banned accounts will be auto suspended. Youtube works that way too. Have a recovery email linked to your email that was used with account that got banned, auto banned. I have different emails, including one from when I was 17 I hadn’t used in years.
Oh yeah and I got two newsletters from reddit about how to get karma and then the second one telling me to get karma.
Puzzlehead@reddthat.comto Reddit@lemmy.world•My observations about reddit bans and how they work1·15 days agoI think this is how i got banned. I used hotel wifi to save on data and I was listening to YouTube and I got on reddit forgetting I wasn’t on mobile data. The suspension happened two weeks later and then my main account got banned because it was connected on my reddit app and logged in with my alt account.
I got kafkaesque banned. Just a generic message you get about multiple repeated violations when you have been suspended before and opened a new account and got caught for ban evasion. Reddit admins ignore appeals and messages about it. They let bots handle it. Even my friend tried to ask them for me in r/help about my unique situation but it got removed quickly.
My only defense is i never recieved any other messages about site rules I broke and no previous suspensions and I used hotel wifi and no other accounts are mine that got linked. They’re supposed to have the 3 strike rule and 4th offense, perm suspension. I never got that.
I didn’t get shadowbanned, I got site wide suspension.
Puzzlehead@reddthat.comto Reddit@lemmy.world•An example of how automod now eliminates anything that might break reddit rules. Notice how it encourages a group mod to report the user to Admins for site wide ban4·15 days agoIgnoring context of post, if a mod decides they don’t like a user based on username or post history, they can just do this. So messed up given admins use bots to run the site.

Youtube, Twitch, being an artist are all gigs. Most of these people have another job. Even professional actors have a job than acting, same as authors.
And don’t forget that sometimes websites can randomly close your account without warning and reason given. They will just say you violated their terms of use without telling you what you did.

Lot of websites in general have gotten all weird about minors because they think it’s child exploitation. Even minors are getting punished on reddit for it. It’s algorithm. As if teens don’t have sex and sexual preferences and aren’t dealing with puberty. If two teens try to meet up, say bye bye to your account. It’s against site policy to meet up with a minor but I don’t think a minor is going to think it includes two minors meeting up with each other. I don’t think Romeo and Juliet would be considered either.
Also to all parents out there, do not back up your family to cloud because most of us have taken nude photos of our toddlers and infants. They will be tagged as CP and your account will be disabled locking you out and no access to your photos. Always keep backup, copy copy copy.
