Reddit admin didn't find bs to violate you for? They are on my ass. Not permabanned, but within a few days now I get a violation for something that isn't even against the rules, not even close, if I make a new account.

Reddit uses AI to make a summary of a users behavior that it shows to mods, and will flag people who seem spammy

eg,

Steps to make a successful reddit post

Step 1) Don't have a sus account Step 2) Make it a image post with a nice catching image
Step 3) Don't include any links away from reddit in the post, don't even add it to the comments (have others do that)

Here is an example of a successful post, 220,000 views

I am not spammy in the slightest, and don't post, only comment. I will occassionally post links to news stories that is it. That is interesting though, do you have any information on what administration moderators show for politics, ie Israel, criticizing political leaders, big monied interests?

The AI is the one doling out these violations, they are pretending like it's a sincere mistake when inaccurate (that they refuse to correct on appeal,) but I know it's not sincere, and that government and big business have their hooks in them, now more than ever since they went public.

The OP promoted piefed in like r/buyfromeu, r/degoogle and r/buyfromcanada. They got majorly upvoted and thus directed traffic to here.

Im kinda surprised to see this "in the wild".

Anyone who ever wondered whether there's any alternative to reddit knows about the fediverse.

They don't really. Even now.

Others have said even mentioning lemmy gets them targeted by administration. Come to think of it, so did I my last new account that only made it less than a week before a violation for something that wasn't even close to against the rules. But it could be a lot of things with me, I'm rather aggressive on some issues, Israel the big one, but also trashing politicians, none of which is getting tolerated as much anymore. I'm probably on the list of the administration of people to bump off social media. Sounds paranoid but I bet I'm right, but I digress.

I've mentioned the Fediverse many times on Reddit and have never been targeted.

I learned about lemmy on reddit. Maybe everyone is getting targeted for other reasons. One thing is for sure, the administration violations are not always in good faith, not by a long shot.
