Except the obvious fuck spez / steve huffman stuff, what are the things that get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances Lemmy?
Specifically, I want to know where is the line drawn, regarding the recent NYC Shooting incident involving the corporate shithead.
Posting with a new account apparently. Last time I made a reddit account I made a few comments in various subs. A few hours I went back and found that every single thing I posted was deleted without a word from the mods. I hadn’t even posted anything controversial but new account = bad I guess
To be fair, this is usually a spam mitigation thing. Most places that do it have an automod that just deletes anything posted by an account less than x days / weeks old, rather than a human going through and doing it manually. It’s usually in the rules of the sub
A variant is requiring a certain amount of karma for the same reason
Yea, sometime I just want a throwaway to vent on how shitty my life is, then after typing like 5 paragraphs, I click post. I get an automod saying my karma is too low.
Ugh, that shit just makes me wanna end myself even more (figuratively, of course).
Yeah it’s kind of like the crisis hotline hanging up on you because your 2 minutes is up. Insultingly impersonal!
I remember commenting in a sub and getting bounced by automod because I didn’t meet a karma limit. Which is fine, lots of subs have karma limits. But it felt really high- I had a couple thousand karma at the time- and the mods explicitly wouldn’t tell you what the actual limit was.
So I guess you’re just supposed to let automod bounce you occasionally til you manage to hit their magic number.
Yeah, some instances are the equal and opposite of voat. Just as extreme, in the opposite direction
