Splendid!

I mean… it’s a nice distraction from what’s going on here in Europe. Sort of escapism if you want.

Well, turns out Lemmy is exactly the same. Got the evidence a few minutes ago.

I’m not familiar with shadowbanning because it didn’t happen to me or anyone else I wrote with. We all got permabanned officially. But even the permabans were weird. In some case I was still able to edit old comments, in another I wasn’t. In a third case I was able to backup my saved links. So technically, a lot was broken. I don’t think that anyone at Reddit really knows what’s going on or has control over anything.

One of my accounts got banned because I wrote that racism is bad. Another for writing that sexism is bad. A third one because I condemned a terrorist group in a private chat (Of course a group which is officially considered to be a terrorist group by many countries). I used simple language in all those cases, like literally writing “Racism is bad”. Is there a pattern? Is it random? Who knows. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is no reasonable explanation.

No. Tell me. I’m genuinely interested.

I thought this way a long time ago. But just like Sisyphus I had to watch the rock roll down the slope again and again after believing to have achieved anything. It only takes a slight breeze to make the rock roll down again.

Reddit is not worse than any other platform when it comes to getting banned for (seemingly) random reasons.

It depends on your prefered type of humor. Do you like gallows humor?

What’s the alternative to ignoring them? You can’t make them smarter. You can’t exclude them from voting without creating something similar to fascism. Not even removing warning labels helps because idiots don’t read them anyway.

Roughly 90 % if I have access to plenty of data. According to others it’s less than 10 %.

According to myself? According to others? Or the average of both?

Never underestimate the kinks of people.

I give this ragebait a 6/10. Could be worse, could be better.

I suggest to not make the mistake of blaming it on AI. Humans (on average) aren’t any smarter. Social media platforms (like Reddit) had a long history of ridiculous bans way before automods were a thing. It can happen at any time and it will happen at some point.

Nothing beyond two kisses happened. That’s reality. Possibilities are not reality, what-ifs are not reality.

Honest question: What makes you think those kisses meant more?

This is not how real people act.

Correct.
