        So what’s up with “not gonna lie”? I’ve been hearing it for over a decade, and I hear it from known liars, people I trust, and all the shades of in-between. This is the first time I’ve seen it on Lemmy.

        If someone I trust says it, I trust them less.

        If a liar says it, I know they’re about to lie. It’s the “I’m not racist but” of liars.

        I worked with a woman for years that said “not gonna lie” roughly 30 times a day. I liked her, I just hated that so I could be biased.

        I realize this is completely derailing the post but do you have any insight on this phrase?

        That’s probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don’t ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.

        thats why, it was too new. reddit is very hostile to new accounts, simply thier filters assume people are a potential bot/spammer, if they havnt been on the site that long. thats why people even using some proxies, anti-detect browsers get banned asap. also commenting on a sub, that auto removes your comments, for not having enough “karma or aged account” also flags your account. the question is, is visiting a sub you were previously banned in without commenting, will that also trigger some kind of flag? (i think so), if you notice they already have gone through at least 3 major purges in the last 3 months(of "bots/spammer/evaders) i was on the recieving end of the 3rd one. it was definitely noticable in DEC, as thier were less bots ragebaiting people.

            it’s the whole reason “screenshot of a social media post” exists in the first place

            and yeah, I sure as shit would never post there again, just putting the idea out there.

        youtube

        I am far from elitist in most anything I do or say. I try to be inclusive when introducing others to a topic, offer information freely and at any pace they can accept it, and generally enjoy the most mundane parts of life so long as they’re done in a healthy way. I say all of that to preface the fact that I cannot tolerate most users on YouTube. They’re, by and large, just awful.

        I do agree with your idea, but it physically hurts me to envision lemmy with YouTube comments.

      Whenever I see someone asking about or speculating that users need somewhere else to go… I direct-message them and give them links to https://feddit.org/search and encourage them to make a login on some instance…

    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.

            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.

    Got shadow banned years ago for sharing the link to the εxodus privacy analysis of the Reddit app. There is a reason why they keep trying to pressure their users to use their app. It’s farming their personal data.

    You can’t save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I’d be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit’s mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.

      i think it takes get permabanned to actually come here, they are addicted to reddit, simply because of all the trump trash worldnews/political post there, and news is like a narcotic, because these 2 genre, and adjacent subs are almost always on the front page. even the salty r/conservative is on the front page alot. the permaban people that are constantly evading bans are usually the ones trying to earn a living through OF, or advertising by posting en masse, usually with the help of privacy browsers, proxies, new devices,etc. funny how reddit is only going after them any evader aggressively, but doing nothing about the troll farm bots.

      did they say you reported too much? on several accs, i had either a temp ban from that sub, or instant lecture from a mod, saying “you cant report this person, just because you dont like his comment” i was thinking then, what is a reportable offense, like its spamming/botting, isnt that reportable, like do you want me to engage and argue, which makes its worst?. my most recent one which got me the recent ban was "you can report this much in this sub, and we think you are “brigading” so we are temporarily banning you sitewide, which triggered the sites AI bot to ban multiple accounts sitewide without giving a reason. how can you say you are fighting botting/spamming from countries like RU when your MODS, and admins are banning the reporter. turns out your site needs the RU bots, simply because they make close to half of comments and engagement in certain communities.

          i reported similar issues, either botting/or something totally untrue, and what they said was" oh you had made too many reports, we are now suspending your whole account temporarily, i deleted the acct. i dont think they warned anyone of a random ban, thats why i said it was pretty indiscriminate, they just want any amount of acc banned, so they can show to thier potential investors, its a clean site. i appealed on each of my other accts that perma ban all denied, by a bot, obviously. i think it auto-denies if its been sitewide banned

            Temp? Mine was perms…

            Auto-Denies eh? That explains why I hadn’t heard from anyone. Didn’t even get a deny message really.

            It was actually my second perma-ban, I had one before in which I badmouthed Gina Carano, stating that I disagreed with her transphobia and was happy she was gone from the show…

            I had been mass-reported for threatening to kill Gina Carano, and clearly it was a bot that just saw the volume of reports, I was unbanned within minutes of sending an appeal because it’s pretty easy to see that I said nothing of the sort, it was just Right-Wing Trolls.

            I got Right Wing Trolls A LOT, they’d also mass report any post where I pointed out I was trans (regardless of context) for “Advocating for suicide and self-harm.”

            I must have gotten the “A concerned redditor has reached out to us and we wanted to let you know there’s help out there…” message more often than actual ban messages.

            They really should have thought of investors before becoming “Banishment: The Website”, not gonna be easy to sell a product no one’s allowed to actually use…

              i think you were brigaded(a large amounts of people that mass report someone to get them banned) right wingers/trolls will do this. some mods are very anal about how you report"did they respond to your comment" or "dint bother commenting and just reported someone.

                  yea once you get reported in large numbers its probably very hard to defend yourself, because these right wing trolls are using multiple different accounts. because the mods/filters are going to assume"oh its a bot trolling"

                  on a side note: i was “wretched” when people were defending gina carano on a youtube channel where she was a characther in deadpool"saying disney ruined her career"

      A shadow ban is where they didn’t tell you that you were banned. A shadow banned user could go for years commenting and posting and never realised they were banned. It’s only if they check their posts while logged out that they realise.

      it means nobody can see your comments or posts, its the result of a redditor that was making multiple accounts and evading bans 10+years ago. it tricks you into thinking you “arnt banned, or comments removed” this way reddit doesnt advertise to the bots, user that they are banned.

    I’d imagine in that particular case it felt like spam. If someone came through here and was named Nick_From_Nike and only posted in threads related to Nike and only positively about Nike, I feel like many would quirk a brow.

    Are we seeing shadowbans with established accounts that don’t have lemmy in their username? Considering r/redditalternatives is still going strong, seems unlikely.

    The exact rules of what links are banned varies from subreddit to subreddit. After posting a comment, I usually check in a private browser window to make sure it wasn’t filtered.

      you can also check if your shadowbanned/ incognito, if you look at any redditors profile. usually with typing in reddit dot com /user/[your account name]
