Warning: Reddit is shadowbanning people for talking about Lemmy. Picture related.

EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:

Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()

Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.

Fuck Reddit, they banned me because I reported discrimination and it was easier to get rid of the whiner than do their jobs.
Now I can't talk nerdshit about The Sims anymore
- Get the sims community started on Lemmy. Try to convince some people to join
  
  Gwanda blitz!
- did they say you reported too much? on several accs, i had either a temp ban from that sub, or instant lecture from a mod, saying "you cant report this person, just because you dont like his comment" i was thinking then, what is a reportable offense, like its spamming/botting, isnt that reportable, like do you want me to engage and argue, which makes its worst?. my most recent one which got me the recent ban was "you can report this much in this sub, and we think you are "brigading" so we are temporarily banning you sitewide, which triggered the sites AI bot to ban multiple accounts sitewide without giving a reason. how can you say you are fighting botting/spamming from countries like RU when your MODS, and admins are banning the reporter. turns out your site needs the RU bots, simply because they make close to half of comments and engagement in certain communities.
  
  Thing is they didn't warn me or anything, they just jumped to the perma ban and I had to find out from numerous appeal attempts where Inever got a non-bot response
  
  i reported similar issues, either botting/or something totally untrue, and what they said was" oh you had made too many reports, we are now suspending your whole account temporarily, i deleted the acct. i dont think they warned anyone of a random ban, thats why i said it was pretty indiscriminate, they just want any amount of acc banned, so they can show to thier potential investors, its a clean site. i appealed on each of my other accts that perma ban all denied, by a bot, obviously. i think it auto-denies if its been sitewide banned
  
  Temp? Mine was perms...
  Auto-Denies eh? That explains why I hadn't heard from anyone. Didn't even get a deny message really.
  It was actually my second perma-ban, I had one before in which I badmouthed Gina Carano, stating that I disagreed with her transphobia and was happy she was gone from the show....
  I had been mass-reported for threatening to kill Gina Carano, and clearly it was a bot that just saw the volume of reports, I was unbanned within minutes of sending an appeal because it's pretty easy to see that I said nothing of the sort, it was just Right-Wing Trolls.
  I got Right Wing Trolls A LOT, they'd also mass report any post where I pointed out I was trans (regardless of context) for "Advocating for suicide and self-harm."
  I must have gotten the "A concerned redditor has reached out to us and we wanted to let you know there's help out there...." message more often than actual ban messages.
  They really should have thought of investors before becoming "Banishment: The Website", not gonna be easy to sell a product no one's allowed to actually use...
  
  i think you were brigaded(a large amounts of people that mass report someone to get them banned) right wingers/trolls will do this. some mods are very anal about how you report"did they respond to your comment" or "dint bother commenting and just reported someone.
  
  Nope, I heard not a damn thing from Reddit
  
  yea once you get reported in large numbers its probably very hard to defend yourself, because these right wing trolls are using multiple different accounts. because the mods/filters are going to assume"oh its a bot trolling"
  on a side note: i was "wretched" when people were defending gina carano on a youtube channel where she was a characther in deadpool"saying disney ruined her career"
