Well now this is trashy. I got permabanned from r/interstingasfuck for posting a comment in r/MensRights that was an attempt to correct some misinformation. I’ve never made a post in either subreddit and that was the only comment I’ve ever made in the MensRights subreddit. But r/interstingasfuck’s bot decided to permaban me even though I’ve not broken any rules.
The single comment I’ve ever made on r/MensRights
Also I tried to make a post on r/MensRights (would have been my first post there) on me getting banned for making a comment and the mods there blocked it. You would think they’d love the chance to show they are victims of discrimination and censorship.
Man Reddit is trash.
We are in the era of the Dead Internet Theory. There’s no point to being online just to fight bots. I’ve banned these accounts but I’m only on Reddit for the communities that aren’t on Lemmy.
Thanks for the list.
Oh for sure. The name bot or spam defense is really a lie or doublespeak, their real purpose is anti-competition by automatically banning people who post in different subreddits. Combating spam isn’t their real purpose (they just say that because you can’t openly violate moderator CoC, you can only do it if you say you aren’t doing it), it’s making people afraid to visit competing subreddits or punish people for using subreddits the mods of the current subreddit hold a grudge against.
