So I stopped generally using Reddit after the whole API thing but my husband still does and we talk about stuff since Lemmy gets the job done.
One thing he likes is to hop on r/freecompliments and participate there.
Well, today he got permanently banned. Why? Because a bot dredged his profile and found that he sometimes participates in porn subreddits. Usually to complement people there, never posting himself. He’s pretty ace, so it’s rarely, if ever, sexual. But that was enough for the bot to ban him.
They sent a message about how they are sfw subreddit and don’t allow users to participate in NSFW subreddits.
He’s heartbroken about it. He really likes to be nice to people and it makes his day when they respond to him. Now he can’t do that in a sub that’s meant for it.
I feel like the site rules have opinions about banning like this, but it’s not like the admins give a fuck. So fuck those mods and their puritanical bullshit making at least once persons day worse, for the low cost of a user that was participating in good faith.
And since I’m on a roll, fuck spez
I tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don’t allow ‘anger’ or ‘impersonal’ posts and that got quietly removed immediately. So fuck them too. I didn’t realize how far down the shitter reddit has gone.
Mods are always gonna be people who want power same as police same as politicians.
Yeah, plus they all have really good pay and retirement plans.
the reason moderators dont get paid is coz theres always someone who will do it for free just to feel important
Interesting comparison, because they volunteered, and don’t have to moderate to survive. What do you say to that…?
Edit: Ah, so you can downvote, but can’t actually defend your comment with facts or logic. Got it…
i didnt downvote you i dont vote on anything i turned that feature off.
No offense, but why are you responding here? I replied only to KevonLooney@lemm.ee, who has still not replied with any factual information, only a downvote seconds after I responded to them…

Some also freeboot subs like crazy and don’t care to change anything when the lower tier mods want to fix shit. Definitely reminded me of politicians when I tried modding some subs during the beginning covid era lol.
Begging them to ever do something made me start hating the site.
