      Just forget about those platforms who censor ridiculous things. There are also Lemmy instances that does this. Run like the wind from all of that. Because people like that are dangerous. They would also burn books that can upset people. And they would support removing words from the language and replace them with other words.

        Yeah, reddit is certainly not what it was 10-15 years ago. hell its not what it was 2 years ago. The community is alot dumber and younger i guess. Still, lemmy doesnt have the range of subreddits, so reddit still has its place unfortunately.

    Protip: before nuking your account get one of those apps that replaces all the text with jibberish, that way not only are you making reddit less attractive to new people but less useful to bots and reddit itself.

    The other day I got a notification that Reddit removed my comment for hate speech. I was scared. Had I said something hateful?

    I went to check. It was a comment under a “Homophobic Gaster” meme in the Deltarune community. My comment was:

    IT IS I

    GASTER DELTARUNE

    AND I AM VERY,

    VERY

    HOMOPHOBIC.

    Reddit moderation has no human input whatsoever

    Then you find out it’s nothing offensive or rule breaking, just a MOD on a power trip. I’m so glad I deleted my account after like 10 years.

      Reddit is also getting ban hungry. I got a 7 day ban for criticizing Israelis… zero bans for people saying much worse things about Palestinians

        A moderator on r/music deleted a post about the removal of Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center.

        Like sure there were plenty of other posts on different subs about the same thing, but I felt like someone was trying to control the narrative there.

      I’m in the process of quitting Reddit. It was weird, some person commented dozens of times and started reposting the same question on the same comment because we disagreed. After I asked the person to leave me alone (I know… I was naive and hopeful), they commented again with the same question multiple times, I told them to fuck off. I got flagged by Reddit for harassment and now I’m shadow banned. It’s basically made the app useless to me. I don’t get why that’s a policy, if they’re banning my account they should just tell me and give me a chance to appeal or just block it. Instead, they operate in this weird gray space of making the experience terrible so you just leave. Sad because I enjoyed a closed community there but the general mods are just the worst. Lemmy will probably be better for my mental health though so silver linings :)

        sounded like AI/bots are doing it. i wonder if reddit allows bot so they can ban users critical of certain “agendas” as a bait.

        It’s because they hope you won’t notice it happened so there will be less work for them dealing with your complaints or new accounts. Even for people who aren’t fully shadowbanned, when their comments are removed it’s done in a similar way to hide from them that it happened. Reddit is designed to make sure admins and mods are not accountable (to the users) for their actions, and silence anyone who objects.

          its because they used AI to ban people, they want to deal with the fallout of a false positive, thats why they gave vague bot message when you site wide banned.

          appeals are pretty much useless anyways, even if did try. less than 1% gets unbanned by a admin, and only if they think thier ban was in error. they ignore majority of the appeals, because AI moderation indiscriminately bans people, so they dont have the amount of energy to unban them all, barring people who purposely violating TOS, or have multi accounts with thier bans lifted in the past.

      Same, but I’m still encountering this same issue here. Does any instance not allow redactions/deletions? I know many are obsessed with perfect flawless curated feeds, but I kinda miss old internet days where redactions were nonexistent essentially

    Fun thing with sideloading Apollo app, you can now see the deleted and removed comments from people.

    Sometimes comments that are removed were genuine answers to questions, still wonder why these get removed. Other times it is just hilarious to see how mad people get towards strangers on the internet.

        Honestly, not entirely sure how it works. From what I have been told, it uses arctic shift photon to still show the comments.

        It shows both deleted comments from Moderators and the ones deleted by the users itself.

        Here’s how it shows;

        EDIT: forget to mention, the names usually show too. I forgot, I had the toggle on to hide names in images.

      reddit does use AI to remove/ban people perhaps its hallucinating too much like it always does. since its trained on REDDIT data, its already poisoned from the start.

    TBH, I have some of the same issues here sometimes.

    Especially when it goes like, “Oh look, somebody replied to my post just five minutes ago!” What was the reply? ‘Deleted by creator

      Once I corrected a guy on some minor D&D rule, nothing important

      He started insulting me, ultimately realized he was wrong, and deleted the comment alongside his entire freakin’ account
