VPN accounts typically get shadowbanned quickly in my experience. You need residential proxies. There’s also a warm up period for accounts where they are soft locked out of certain features like modmail, commenting, creating a community, etc. You won’t be told of these limitations, simply shadowbanned if you try to use them.

I’m not sure about Reddit’s use of device fingerprinting or user behavior heuristics when it comes to detecting evasion.

We are at war. I create accounts daily to send out modmail within my rights. We shouldn’t let admins or even mods sleep. I found it funny one time they blackholed an account so hard it couldn’t even be logged into anymore, then banned the entire username prefix “yoyoyopo” all at once, thinking it would stop me.

They’re real, but they aren’t general purpose and lack precision. It’s just analog.

Nice try, spez. Your empire is crumbling.

All to sell OnlyFans subscriptions.

Wow. If that’s true there couldn’t be stronger evidence for fully automated moderation. They’re just hitting an endpoint that spits out a “violent content” percentage, and relying on the massive userbase to stay solvent. But with no legitimate appeals process, eventually a huge portion is going to get snapped.

Cut off one head, three more rise in its place…

Fuck the mods.

A small group of people who can agree on something can subjugate a large group that can’t.

Gallowboob basically destroyed the site by popularizing “safe” feel-good subreddits like r/nextfuckinglevel. Then of course, the tumblr diaspora fiasco.

It’s textbook enshittification. Start with a great but unprofitable idea that attracts users, monopolize the market, then debase the service to extract cash from the cornered userbase. We have to show them that we aren’t going to put up with it. Any enshittified service should be immediately boycotted.

Leave and don’t ever look back. Fediverse is growing by the day.

While it may not be the most noble cause, this is proof that people, specifically young people, do have the power to change things if sufficiently organized and united.

Dictatorship. Voting is democracy, and they don’t want you to have it.

Do we even know where he is? Or if he’s even alive?

Just instance hop bruv, you cannot be banned or censored from Lemmy.

Enshittification.

It’s insane that there isn’t more pushback against this. Like karma wasn’t enough, they needed to add a hidden gestapo system to degrade user experience even more.

As they should.

True, but the difference in the moderation suite is immense. Reddit makes it laughably easy to ban and black hole users with a single button press. Some users are banned preemptively by auto mod rules and subreddit settings. I believe there are more banned users than active users on most large subreddits.

Honestly the biggest problem is that people don’t fight unfair moderation in the first place. Mods should be shamed for these practices and if they engage in them, every tool at our disposal should be used to annoy them into quitting moderation altogether.
