I got banned on reddit, so I searched for reddit alternative in google.

What did you do to get banned from Reddit?

[โ€“] atomicfurball@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't really know, they just said my account was permanently suspended for violations of the rules. They never said what rule I broke or what post broke the rule. They also never gave me a warning about it.

I've been banned for spreading racist hate by warning someone looking for a realtor to avoid one that was discussed without issue in the sub 9 months prior... For running a racist ad poking fun of Asians... I think they replaced the humans who double check bans and reports with monkies, or AI

Didn't they go from like 200 to 2000 employees? And yet they:

  • no longer answer emails

  • No longer respond to DMs within their platform

  • have a ban appeal form they don't even check. I literally made stupid jokes about a plot to poison Biden to see if it was monitored. 99% sure it's not...

I'm sick and tired of thos being the Age of Faceless Corporations. Google and Facebook normalized it. Everyone else is moving towards it. Twitter automatically responds with ๐Ÿ’ฉ. Hell even local businesses (chains and non chains) like Score Pizza or Kingston Burger Company don't list a head office address, email, phone number or anything. They just want your money but not to have to deal with you.

Like what's going on with the world these days? It's obviously natural for the human mind to seek smart or lazy ways to do things, and there's always been that loser at work everyone has to pick up the slack for... but these days it feels like everyone is pushing things to the limits, like it's reversed and everyone wants to be slackers until the people picking up the slack get burnt out, or the business or organization just becomes a shell of what it wants was while simultaneously demanding more and more money. Policing for example, budgets are probably historically high, mostly from taxes, they don't police the streets or hand out tickets, people drive and park however they want, corporations and driving instructors have non-road legal cars (way above 30% tint in front windows etc).
