EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
That’s not a shadowban, that’s a straight up suspension.
A shadowban is just when your posts and comments are filtered and hidden from others.
Yes, it is a shadowban. It fits perfectly what you said: the posts and comments are filtered and hidden from the others.
Here is another proof that this is a shadowban:
Left: the content is shown to the user when they’re logged in, and they can still submit new content.
Right: the content is not shown to someone who is logged off.
On the other hand, a typical suspension leaves the content visible for everyone else, it tells the user “you’ve been permanently suspended from Reddit [insert gaslighting message]”, and the user cannot submit new content.
Note that a shadowban is considerably worse than a suspension. Not that I care, though - I’m sharing this here because it is relevant for people trying to convince others to migrate to the Fediverse.
Oh that’s weird. I just got straight-up banned the other day for saying something bad about Nazis 😂
and a nazi complained about a sub, and that got sub can banned, hmm seems spez is in league with said nazi.
i keep hearing how the obvious bots are trying to sanewash trump, or nazis in general by saying, its dangerous to keep calling trump facist or a nazi, and it says it “normalizes him”
How do you dare? You’re as intolerant as them if you don’t let them invade your spaces! 🙄
Serious now. I got a ban similar to yours years ago. “Multiple, repeated violations of the policies” = I told a self-identified Nazi to shoot himself. (10/10, great laughs were had at the butthurt Nazi. Would do it again.)
Fuck Nazis, fuck the KKK, and I’m not selling my wife’s gun at this point. Too much at stake.
thats the general notice from reddit, when they ban all your accs at once, even old ones you stopped using. its a bot doing it. i had like multiple accounts, each one for a specific niche, or sub, including throwaways, those in the niche subs(never gone on political or news subs) still got targeted. its mostly like whatisthisplant, or this medical issue.
another way to check, is while logged out and in private mode, you search up your account name to see if its suspended, or it doesnt exist.
