My Reddit account was recently shadow banned for no apparent reason but luckily I was able to get it unbanned. I now mentioned to one of my Reddit friends that I’m on Lemmy and the comment was removed by Reddit.

    I noticed after 2016, things just got really really bad for Reddit. I got banned in like 2021 and wasn’t told why, so I filed an appeal and was told my account was brought back. I wasn’t given a reason for the band, however. I got banned from a ton of different subreddits, many of which I never even visited and, once again, no reason. It was like 2024 I dumped Reddit for good.

    I believe this is the cost of AI moderating websites. I have had friends who had similar experiences with other websites like Discord, Instagram, and Twitter. They got banned, weren’t told why, filed an appeal, and got back in. Remember Kafka’s trial? AI made this real for the website. Your crime is you triggered some kind of automated response and you’re not getting an explination.

    Now stop whining and give us your ID so Peter Thiel can find the antichrist or something!
