Made a snarky, obviously sarcastic comment basically word for word: “Yeah, women didn’t even exist until the 1920s and Asians are a myth” In response to a racist jerk complaining that a depiction of 1880s Chicago was “too diverse”.
So 4 days later Reddit slaps me with a permanent ban for violating rule 1 “hate”.
The really effed up part is the offending comment was summarily removed and therefore not even quoted in the ban notice. Meaning that after 4 days I didnt immediately recall the now missing comment and could only appeal based the general fact that I mock racists.
This is some absolute bullshit. And now that I recall the basic wording I cant even add to the appeal.
Is Reddit trying extra hard to suck now or what.
Any alternatives to force a response and ecpme action of this nonsense?
If the user you replied to also got banned, you probably got banned because an AI bot decided you were agreeing with them.
Welcome to lemmy
I think once you are banned that’s it, the appeal process that they say isn’t automated is certainly automated and I doubt anyone looks at that stuff. You are a number.
So they simply lied. And lie. And lie. Etc.
Moderators cannot understand context, sarcasm or satire. Most of them have an intellect and attention span similar to GNU grep utility.
You were misunderstood and banned. That’s how modern life is.

or subtlety. I was once banned by admins for explaining how criticizing a religion’s official dogma is different from hate speech against individuals who practice the religion.
my last ban was for pointing out racist attacks against my local mayor
apparently pointing out hate is promoting it now.
Nope, you use Reddit entirely at their whim. All appeals are handled by the same automated system that likely banned you in the first place, and trying to make a new account will get you banned again for ban evasion.
There are various ways to hide and get around the ban evasion checks, but if you ever slip up, or they ever catch you again, go straight to banned again with no appeal.
Your alternative is to move to other reddit alternatives like here. The more these alternatives can be built up, the less excuses there are to still rely on Reddit, until Reddit finally crumbles away.
Good. Fuck Reddit. Should’ve left yourself. I hope all the people get banned there and all they have left are bots.
Sounds like you forgot the “/s”
I doubt the /s would’ve done much at that rate.
Hanlon’s Razor aside it feels like a backdoor effort to silence critics of insane fascists, supremicists and techbros. Smh.
