So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.
I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)
They mark your ip, email & leave some cookies/other fingerprinting behind, buy if you restart your router, use a disposable email & use a different browser for sign up, you can get around it.
I got a site ban for ironically supporting using pagers to kill and maim kids in an irony sub, which is extra ironic given people openly supported Israel doing so in major subreddits, but I don’t think the bots the use to moderate understand irony.
No, they understand. They’re working as intended.
Right-wing dickheads can appeal and a person will overturn their ban. A left-wing dickhead can appeal and the AI will cite the rules and walk away.
Rules protect them from us, not us from them.
they can still catch your device though, apparently they can look some device IDs/components. they seem to trust google emails the most, since they are pretty much attached at the hip from google.
