News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

On a discussion about a revolution in Canada I merely suggested that there are no resources to protect the rich in the event of a revolution breaking out.

I even went on to explain I can't even kill ants though so count me out.

Perma banned for inciting violence, appeal gives you 100 characters to explain so I won't bother. How do you appeal a site wide ban in one sentence?

12 years of contributing to IT communities and it's all gone, that's what I'm upset about.

Same thing happened to me. My comment was “kid deserved it” on a video where, at school a kid called a teacher the n-word and then squared up to fight him. The teacher punched the kid in the face.

That was my comment and there were others saying pretty much the same thing both above and below my comment. 10,000 karma gone.

I’ve been banned from subs before but never from the whole site. Interestingly that was not my only account banned. My main account (which I never post on) was also banned and when I made a new account, that was banned as well.

My theory is that someone flagged me for something and then went to all my posts and also flagged them and a limit was reached that just autobans site wide. That’s the theory anyway.

The funny thing is that all my comments are pretty benign and I actively fight against racism and bigotry on Reddit. I was one of the good guys!

Same for me. 95% being helpful. 5% dumb jokes. Perma banned for nonsense.

They know your IP address. Any account that logs in with the same IP gets banned.

So you could try a VPN.

Correct answer

How does that work at a university for example? Multiple reddit accounts same household?
