I’ve confirmed this with multiple accounts now. If you promote the 2nd amendment, including training responsibly with others, your account will be autobanned within 60 seconds.
To be clear, my comments contained exactly zero calls to violence. They were simple comments stating every American has the right to arm themselves and that everyone should train responsibly, ideally with others who are more experienced.
I’ve had 4 or 5 accounts autobanned within a minute now. All immediately after posting pro 2nd amendment comments. These accounts were anywhere from 1 week to multiple months old. So they’re not brand new accounts that are being flagged for whatever reason.
Reddit is now complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.
EDIT: Been testing some more with a 2 week old account. Discovered that Reddit is also autobanning accounts that use the word “guillotine”. I left a comment that literally only consisted of the word “guillotine”, no other context at all, and within 30 seconds I was auto-suspended for 3 days.
If the mod who was in here telling people I was lying with no proof whatsoever, and who also lied about testing my methods, would like to test this out, or lie about testing it out, that would be great.
And, for the record, my username for the account just suspended actually has the word “Guillotine” in it. So apparently their bots don’t screen usernames. Just contents of comments, and I’m assuming posts. I don’t bother posting on Reddit, so I don’t know about that one.
As I originally stated, Reddit is complicit in the fascist takeover of our nation.
Edit 2: Despite a mod on this sub claiming that I’m lying and threatening to delete this post, here is more proof from users on Reddit that Reddit is, in fact, auto banning users for discussing our Constitutional rights.
I’ve been seeing more and more Reddit users talking about this.
I’ll repost what I posted to someone else’s comment.
I only run Reddit in a private browsing window. When they permaban me I reset the browser and close it, open up a new private window, create a new Reddit account with a throwaway email and I’m back in and don’t get permabanned again until I promote our Constitutional rights or tell a Trump supporter their mother shouldn’t have carried to term and get reported for hurting their feelings.
So I’m assuming they catch account hoppers via cookies.
I even have a browser script that auto-adds all my subs back so I don’t lose all my subs. There’s some nuance to that though as if the script auto-adds too many subs too quickly, you’ll get flagged and auto-banned. So I have to set the script to only add one sub every 5000ms and then leave that tab alone while it adds all my subs. I only care about the subs at all because Lemmy doesn’t have all the really specific subs I find myself sometimes needing to post on for answers to specific shit.
That’s interesting. I hadn’t thought about cookies. I had my account permabanned and when I tried to make a new one using another email account, it got banned instantly for trying to circumvent the ban. So I tried it again with a VPN running…same thing.
I didn’t actually care that much, so I didn’t bother trying harder than that. Thanks for the info.
