I suggested drawing in chalk on the street outside of the governor’s mansion, to protest the GIANT chalk Christ she had commissioned across the driveway to celebrate Easter one year.
Deleting your posts was a waste of time. Chances are likely that it is archived on their end.
Reddit has been paying close attention to behavior patterns of banned users and users they wouldn’t want on their platform. It’s likely they’ve gotten your posting imprint and just give you the comfort of thinking you’ve deleted your posts.
deleting your account also wont stop them from finding your new accounts, they mostly archived that as well. they look at browser fingerprinting, device, device components, time zone discrepancy, browser size and VERSION, resolution,etc. if you use any paid service/trial service that can spoof any of these above and they arnt the correct versions, they can detect that.
and then theres the warming up period with new accounts(like not posting, reporting, or upvoting too fast after account creation)
As far as I know, they use things called Evercookies and it’s been a thing now too. If you have an Evercookie, then it won’t really matter what browser you use or even if you clean the cache and history. You have to deep scrub your system and practically all traces of your browser to even get rid of those.
And even so, basic networking is a no brainer when they can just flag your IP and it won’t even matter how many times you’ve done that process.
The absolute degradation of the site is appalling. And most of the comments read like they’re written by children, because I’m assuming most of them are.
The absolute stupidity of everything on the site is flabberghasting.
Oh yeah, since I’ve been on Lemmy, it’s really highlighted just how vacuous the majority of the discourse is on Reddit. I assumed it was just mostly dumb kids, but just accepted it as the nature of all social media these days. It’s so much more grown up here, for the most part.
I don’t know then. I can browse Reddit just fine and I’m not using a VPN. It is interacting with the content and commenting I can’t do because auto-shadowban.
I can browse when I turn the VPN off. I no longer have an account nor the desire to interact with it’s content any way, but I do like to keep up with a few subreddits that have little to no content here.
That there are so many ways to store data on a browser (including exploits) and that they expose so much information about your physical device is a big part of the problem. Even barring that, there are additional ways they can fingerprint a user. While any one thing might not be telling, when you take all of them in combination, it gets frighteningly accurate how easy it is for them to know exactly who you are.
They were archived as they restored them several times. But I kept the account and every time they restored them, I used software to go in and wipe them back out. They’re still not visible on the front end to this day. Maybe they’ll do something AI with them, but they don’t show up in Google search anymore.
No it was under a postof news that the CEO again got raised while the trains were delaid heavier than ever and that a lot of bureaucracy holds it back. Its not politics. Litterly just we need to redo how to organise our trains!
Well, everything is politics.
But I was more wondering about the “sprich deutsch” Part - that’s usually more of a racist thing, and therefore right wing politics. But if you don’t see public transport as political you might be right-wing overall?
Yeah, I got that context now, which I also accounted for with the “usually” qualifier.
I still think it builds an attitude that is toxic to outsiders and can potentially push someone into a right-wing position. I have witnessed first hand how someone fell down a fascist rabbit hole via online places touting language superiority.
bro just skipped the “usually” part and made a rant against things being judged politically.
I think the “everything has to be written in German” part of ich_iel is also establishing a rather nationalist online culture through linguistic homogeny and illegibility to outsiders. So, yeah, you may not want to recognize the impact your words may have, but it’s clear to many others.
i think people were shocked that all thier accounts were banned simulataneously, despite some of them not participating in the same subs, around the same time. they just went after every account in your ip address,device or browser. even if time has passed that a subreddit ban has been lifted in your old accounts. the site filters/AI doesnt take that into account, and i suspect its intentional.
i noticed reddit is very wary of browser forks now too(google, firefox forks), theres a reason they dont like brave(because it hides your fingerprints by default)
Because whether you like it or not, social media is the easy-track to connect with people of all varying degrees and connect through common interests and even ideals. It’s a lot easier than in the 2000s and 1990s when all you’ve had was an e-mail and probably chat room hopping. You just had to know someone else’s e-mail like you would have to know someone’s number to call them, that’s how it worked.
With social media, you can just breeze through friend lists and comb over searches to find friends and everything far easier. It’s easier to connect with people that way than ever before. And losing out on that, can sting.
I sometimes wished it wasn’t that way, but the people have largely decided we needed something more than just writing e-mails to eachother.
probably some have ties to smaller communities of specific category(not news or politics), like your into tech, or cars, or CARD GAMES, or console games. or specific discussions. i had identification of “things/plants” that i now cant access. or discussion of a condition(not to find a diagnosis, but your experiences)
Thanks haha, I was never really rah rah into reddit itself but it had a lot of cool niche subs for hobbies and such and that’s where I spent most of my time not even in the default or political subs.
i got nuked right after some dummy account asked if i want to add a new mod on my sub. a couple of days later - voila - i’m actually a malicious bot boo this bot motherfucker. that was suspicious and for what - i’m literally dropping read/watch later shit
Wasted 15 years on that site to be banned for one fucking comment, burn baby burn.
Same. My comment was “fuck trump and Obama” arguing about using drones to order civilians abroad. Do you remember what your violent advocation was?
I suggested drawing in chalk on the street outside of the governor’s mansion, to protest the GIANT chalk Christ she had commissioned across the driveway to celebrate Easter one year.
It wasn’t even a serious call to action.
Mine was a direct, attributed quote from the US president.
Mine was telling someone it was unlikely that spain would declare war on israel, it being a nuclear nation…
Banned for ‘glorifying violence.’
no OP.
I got the F out and deleted my old posts every time they restored them until they stayed gone.

VPN and Incognito browsing is the way.
I discovered the other night that I couldn’t even browse Reddit anonymously with my VPN active.
They’ve been blocking Vons for years.

They certainly can. Do you have evidence that suggests they are doing that?
They were archived as they restored them several times. But I kept the account and every time they restored them, I used software to go in and wipe them back out. They’re still not visible on the front end to this day. Maybe they’ll do something AI with them, but they don’t show up in Google search anymore.
You can download everything posted on Reddit prior to the great api ban in a torrent. So yeah it’s still out there.
Mine was “the german train system organisation should be burned down and redone anew” and “sprich deutsch du hurensohn”
Was it your plan to hit em with the left right politics punch, or…?
No it was under a postof news that the CEO again got raised while the trains were delaid heavier than ever and that a lot of bureaucracy holds it back. Its not politics. Litterly just we need to redo how to organise our trains!

It’s a meme on German language subreddits when Americans shit up the place in English.

The Star Wars to fascist pipeline is more apparent now more than ever.
…are we now just connecting things to put everyone in right corner? God i hate online people…
Guess being against corperates, for self reliance, public owner ship, pro a european state and untouchable democracy, and so on, is now “right wing”.
“Sprich deutsch” in litterly ich_iel is litterly the norm! Thats the joke! Everything is worded german. Guess such is now “right wing”.
“Everything is politics” omfg. Yeah nah. Thats enought Internet for this month, and it only started. Crazy!

For wishing an old man would have a heart attack and leave the world peacefully.

I said that folks would blame the Kirk shooting on trans people. What do you know, I was banned and it actually fucking happened.
I could never understand why people cared about their social media accounts.

if you start having a social network within a social media, a ban can hurt.
especially a sitewide ban preventing you from making a new account, of which they dont tell you the offense.

feel your pain, homie.
