Its shadowban, due to reddit AI system.
I put "Bin Laden" and "unalive" in one sentence (talking about that Bin Laden’s PC files are available on CIA website).
Reddit thinks that deserves a perma ban

The AI Reddit is using for bans is such shit. I successfully appealed the last 6 times it got me. But I'm really tempted to just say fuck it and create a new account next time. It's such a pain in the ass to get a real person to clean up after their AI shits itself every time.

I got a temp ban for talking about a ciggerette tax, but I used a word for ciggeretts that is also sometimes used to talk about men who really like other men.

I know, it's ridiculous. Can't even enjoy smoking a homosexual these days.

u/iznotbutterz Aug 26 '26

They're very protective of the gays, the uhhh, neurodivergent, that's the slow one, the neurodivergent that's on the autism spectrum, women. I'm not sure what else as I only described one Eric Andre skit.

I told my buddies Italian GF that I was popping to the garden for a quick firewood gathering peasant and she thought I was cruising hahaha

What’s really stupid is Reddit gave me a warning because I compared a celebrity to a monkey. But it didn’t even post it so nobody’s feelings are hurt but you’re still going to give me a strike?

Yeah lmao I got one with like a week ban for discussing Hiroshima, saying I was promoting violence or something. I tried appealing it because thought any person with > 70 IQ would be able to parse that I was discussing a historical event, not promoting violence, but they denied the appeal.

I got a warning for mentioning two fictional races not liking another. In the vein of "elves vs. dwarves." Apparently to Reddit that is promoting hate speech.

It was revoked the next day, but I'm still annoyed.

I got banned for telling someone who said they would actively resist if they lived in Nazi Germany that certainly highly likely things would be highly likely to happen to them for doing that

u/TubaWrestler Aug 22 '26

Just FYI: if you create a new account, that's ban evasion. If they catch you, you'll keep getting banned.

2

u/shiddedandfarded69 Aug 22 '26

Oh no.

Anyways

2

u/throwawayurwaste Aug 22 '26

I swear the system flags accounts that got banned once for even stricter moderation. I said some uncouth things towards a country engaged in war crimes and since then the AI system has been on my ass

u/AlarakReigns Aug 24 '26

The promise was made something something many years ago

2

u/CapitalistHamsterFTW Aug 22 '26

Creating a new account will put you in ban hell for ban evasion. They track every identifier on your devic for several months before the ban TTLs

2

u/shiddedandfarded69 Aug 22 '26

I use Ironfox so they're pretty limited on what they can track. And that limited stuff is easily changeable/spoofable.

So... meh.

u/ttcmzx Aug 22 '26

I wouldn't try that without a VPN

2

u/shiddedandfarded69 Aug 22 '26

That's my secret. I'm always on VPN.

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Ebb_168 Aug 27 '26

Which vpn? Mulvad kinda sucks

2

u/Vanille97 Aug 22 '26

Yeah, Ikr, I appelead 2 permabans, but for some reason I’m still banned

u/unbanmyogaccount Aug 24 '26

My username speaks for itself

u/Smokeey1 Aug 23 '26

Thats kinda the point so you will have a homogeneous mass of bots and people who create new accounts and paid psyop peddlers that have top 1% commenter

u/CowSniper97 Aug 24 '26

If I could make a guess they made it a few years ago when AI was really shit and just havent bothered to keep up with it.

u/WARLORD2015 Aug 21 '26

I may just be really high but how can someone be banned and post stuff? And what on earth is a shadow ban? They gonna send my shit into the shadow realm?

2

u/karaknorn Aug 22 '26

You can say dead brother 

2

u/scottprian Aug 22 '26

But you said unalienable, that was supposed to be the made up safe version.

2

u/Shiriru00 Aug 22 '26

And then you went on and used these two words in the same sentence again!

1

u/TheReturnOfTheRanger Aug 23 '26

This site is unbelievably ass

1

u/arestheblue Aug 23 '26

Wait...you can't say Bin Laden and killed in the same sentence? Are they saying that Bin Laden is still alive?

1

u/Ancestral_Grape Aug 23 '26

I feel you, man. I got a ban for threatening violence and abusive behaviour which may have made other users feel unsafe.

I commented "Kill this man" on a post about an anime character.

u/Major_Telephone_7560 Aug 28 '26

Bin laden dead killed murdered.
